It had a nice gap up this morning after a 400k share buy, but I didn't see any follow through in the trading to say it will stay there. the last four times it gapped like that (all in the last quarter) it sold off and retrenched. Do you have any reason to expect it will continue differently this time? Maybe I posted this pick on the wrong thread. XYLN is a LONG hold for me. And I mean at least one year. My guess is that money will flow out off Internet stocks to flow in networkers and pc makers. Of course, XYLN is not CISCO, but CISCO was not XYLN during it first three years after IPO. Regarding what happened to it after overhyping, you are right. But, the question is: Do you think it is overhyped now and the stock is overpriced? XYLN trade at 1/4 PE of CSCO and has a solid chance to grow faster then CSCO this year. Of course, CSCO and DELL are safer play. Those two stocks should reward nicely this year. Good luck!

Hi all Work is going to make it hard to post intraday, as things pick up with the new year. But I miss my friends here and thought I'd say hi. I did pick near the bottom at 7 1/8 on NBTY, and will hold for the time being, although the candle is a pretty big black one. I did very well shorting EGRP last week, and the smartest thing I did was to cover on Friday. I will try to remember this situation the next time I am wondering what to do about holding a short at the end of the week. I have new software on order, and I'm looking forward to using it, at which time I can make a more meaningful contribution here, in the meantime, I am holding NBTY, PSFT (nice day today, Sue) and CATP (which finally moved) LastShadow, you are a winner no matter what happens with CPU, you are a winner no matter what. Thanks for the continued education. Hope you all make a fortune tomorrow. David
