sam, we do agree i am in this one for the long haul but i trade 1/3 of my position at top and bottom when it soars, like it did over 100 i sell 1/3 and then buy back after it drops i agree that this could be in the 20's or 200's in 12 months but so far, they appear to have savvy management and a good business model and i trust steve harmon more than thestreet.com as an internet analyst and he is very upbeat about onsl as for margins, yes they are important but a well managed company can get around that that is what they have said about amzn for 2 years anyone who sold it 2 years ago is now looking silly when i first bought aol at 35 people said that i could not make money in a stock that had such thin margins--then came advertising!!!!! i will continue to stay here like you as they continue to execute as they say buy the camel trader, not the camel curtis

A few comments if I might 1) A single stock should not comprise more than 4 percent of one's portfolio at time of purchase (esp. one as volatile as ONSL) 2) ONSL has a nasty habit of gapping up and down and an investor should be prepared for that possibility. 3) Anyone investing in options should read "Options as a Strategic Investment" by McMillan. Also, a number of option resources have been highlighted here: Subject 19444 With that, I will fade into the background.
