LindyBill - I was telling my son what happened on the board tonight about me making an ass of myself about my success this year and he said " did you tell them about MSPG?", and I said no. He said I should get back on the board and relate how stupid I was. BTW - he is a Programer for Anderson Consulting and has a great feel for the internet stocks. Well, when the market crashed somewhat back in the summer, he called and said buy MSPG at about $29 per sh. I said OK and bought 15,000 shares. I swear to God, not 45 minutes after the trade, word comes out that the CFO was resigning. well anyone in MSPG knows what the stock did the next morning, right, down about six. Well it came back enough that I had a loss of about $30,000 and sold against my sons advice. Within 5 weeks I believe the stock went to $70 or so and I don't have to tell you how much money on that " I know it all deal " I blew! At any rate I appreciate the constructive advice from everyone. I will try to be a little less pretentious. From the humble porch, Voltaire Selah Voltaire
