heh...i need to get out of the house! i must realize that stocks go up and they go down. it is all about perspective... if you look at any company that has grown exponentialy (like WCTI - spyhop will) and look at the chart over 1 year, and then take a section of only one day, which happens to be down, then you will see how perspective and patience play heavily into this game. i can not imagine where we will be one year from now, but i am tempted to not even look for a couple of months, and then i am confident that i will be very happy with my investment. i have noticed a couple of clues as to why i like this company. first, there are many references to the seven habits of highly effective people (i.e. proactive, interdependant, etc.) in thier writing. this leads me to believe that the management is grounded in principle centered leadership. this makes me feel very comfortable about my money. second, if you look at the price of yahoo (close to 400 today) and couple that with the expected growth of the internet, besides the fact that this search engine will not only be a portal like yahoo, lycos, infoseek, etc., but they are also going to be able to sell the technology to individual web sites!!! and over seventy languages?!?! perhaps this is my time to learn the lesson of patience, and not get greedy with trading. i do not claim to be knowlegeable of the intracacies of the market, nor of stock trading. but i do have enough common sense to see patterns and opportunities, and i believe this is one of them. i think i will be watching this for a while to come (i don't want to miss out on all the excitement), but i have life to live besides sitting in front of my computer all day. :)
