No, could care less. You say you sold at today's close, that's fine by me. The stock was down $3 bucks today and closed near it's low $41. 1 5/8th lower that today's close makes your purchase @ $39 3/8ths. The stock hasn't been that low since December 17th. When you posted last night it sounded like you just bought to me. Sorry, my mistake. I see now that you bought no later than Dec 17th, rode it up to $75 for a $35 paper profit, and hung on with your $500,000 investment ignoring my cautions freely post here to read, until you finally got out today by the skin of your teeth with a mere $1 5/8th gain. Thanks for being honest. Colin

OT I know, I know I said I could care less, but this was too good to pass up: (g) Message 7102510 Monday, Jan 4 1999 5:32PM ET ONSL .. this has turned around ,, bought 42 1/4 Message 7124759 Tuesday, Jan 5 1999 10:37PM ET Oh forgot to tell you that I sold 1/2 ar close , for 1 5/8 gain ,, But today the stock closed at $41 after hitting a high of $43.50. Selling today at the close would be a $1.25 loss, not a $1.62 gain. You may want to spend some of the $500,000 you invested on a good accountant to help you figure out if you are selling stocks at a profit, or at a loss... before you go broke that is, selling stocks with "gains."
