IMHO: If you have a profit, don't get greedy - lock it in and wait for the dust to settle. You can always buy back in later. IMHO: This thing could go SOUTH faster than it can go NORTH. Back to the basics - greed and fear.

You will be lucky to get $34. This train has run out of steam in anticipation of Friday's next train coming into the station. Don't lose your profits fine-tuning these limit sales. You drop $1 and the stock is down $1.25. You play catch up for an hour and your down $5 from where you started.

Sharon, here is what I told my friend today who has yet to sell. Like you, she had entered a sell order last night for $50. Of course, it never made it. And yes the DBCC high/low figures are all over the place this morning. I even saw a $2 low at one point, until it was corrected. Anyhow, if DBCC gaps up, consider selling! I am afraid it has lost much upside momentum today like many internet stocks. Short-term, there will be much volatility, before and after the MKWT IPO, although the downside seems higher than the upside. You have good profit. Lock them in. No point holding into a potential downturn, and have to wait for it to come back up. Don't fight the herd. There will be many opportunities to reinvest in DBCC or others after the dust settles. Note, Greenspan speaks on January 20th. No telling what he will say. But I am all cash until then. Good luck! Alan

Hello Sharon: You may or may not want my advice, but here it is. No matter what, you are the only one who can sell your shares, and while asking for everyone's thoughts is good, I think that by this time you must have more than enough information for a decision. I feel that you have held your shares far longer than you normally would have, if you had not listened to the experienced people on this thread. You have employed a good strategy with success. From your post, I sense that you're tired and want out. Why not? You've done great. If you sell, take a long look at all the extra dollars in your account, give yourself the morning off, go eat ice cream, walk in the park, browse a bookstore, and when you finally get in the office, put your feet on your desk, hands behind your head, and repeat after me: " Hey, I'm up (50..60..70.. you fill in the number) percent, and its not even the middle of January. How many money managers can say that?" What ever you decide, best of luck. leslie
