Hi BAB I agree, we should stop our attacks on each other. Therefore, why not be consistent? Either your long term or your short term, either way is fine with me. It's your money not mine. So we both agree that tsig is going up--at least today. Where do you think it will be tomorrow? Personally, I don't have any idea. The daily going on's in the marketplace is beyond me. But it really doesn't matter, at least not to me. You see I am long term and am going to stay long term, I'm not going to sell tomorrow, barring any devastating news that is. I don't see any coming, do you? Where do you think tsig will be in a year from now? Well my money is on UP, and up big time. Short term it may be up a little, we might even double or triple from here. That's great for a little profit. But how about long term for a lot of profit? I'm really surprised I didn't receive some flame when I posted #9773 Message 6416940 I expected a lot of flame from that. You know setforlifebagger HAHAHAHA that type of thing. Let me tell you where that post came from. I was listening to a financial talk show one evening when this guy calls up and is coccerned about his portfolio. It seems he only has one stock in it and is worried about being topheavy. It seems he got all this stock from his company that he had been with for twenty years or so,(long term?) the co added thru 401k contributions and he added on a regular basis. Isn't that what you call dollar cost averaging? Anyway he had accumulated over 150,000 shares. The company? msft. Anybody here remember when msft was less than a buck? Me thinks that gentleman got his setforlifebagger. SLFB's are hard to come by, they require discpline. Discipline which I know that you lack and discipline which I suspect that I lack as well. Is a SLFB possible here? IMHO yes, Well I get it? IMHO, no. Why, because I know that I lack the necessary discipline. I'm sure that when tsig hit's .60, I'll say Dixie was right, would be nice to lock in some profits here. I hope I don't, but let's face it, I won't know until the time comes. If I do then somebody who wants to buy at .60 will simply buy my shares. Will I sell at $2.oo? That's going to be real tempting, I will have SUBSTANTIAL profit dollars at two bucks. Again, I hope I don't. If so then A $2.oo buyer simply takes my place. If I have all of my shares ten years from now I believe I could have my SFLB, but I don't have a cystal ball and there is going to be a lot of temptation between now and then. Until then I wish you happy investing and good luck whatever you do, just be consistent ok Slaffe
