Well my gut tells me to hold on and pick up more on any dips. I don't think that I would be able to live with myself if I sold out the day before the stock takes off.

Yup, I wouldn't feel that great if it tanked either. But, I just have to think about the risk reward ratio again. I believe that the upside is far greater than the downside.

Now about tomorrow, when Microsoft beats the estimates by a whopping amount, then don't you think that there will be a feeding frenzy at least in the morning. They are already up almost $10 in after market trading. Remember, when sharks are in a frenzy they really don't care what they want to bite. I know this is a bit over the top, but I think many many stocks will be up because of this - this includes Bid.com.

Either some more news, or some feedback from Tim (the company's Investor's relation guy) would be nice.

Why is there never any block trades apart from a few Yorkton sells??

The Yorkton trades always seem to be just before short reports.Why aren't any big trades happening ??

Denise,
Quite a change of heart! Just a few days ago you proclaimed how positive you felt about Bid.com: #reply-7266939
Why the sudden doubts?
Best

Hi Denise: I'm not ready to sell yet.
If you've ever owned a boat, you'll know what I mean when I say that stocks to me are like boats -they are always for sale.
The only question is the price and the time.
I'm in love with neither these companies nor their stocks.

I added a few shares to my position today.
Microsoft reports tonight. I'm hoping the markets open with enthusiasm tomorrow.
I have read here and on other threads of people who have sold and taken their profits from BII. Many of them seem to have sold at $9. and over. Funny how we've traded 100,000,000 shares; about 200,000 of them over $9.; and everybody sold over $9.
Well, I wish I had too. I'd have been happy to take a $3. profit and re-enter at $6.
Maybe it'll happen again but I've found this stock hard to time.
The situation is not static.
I think we've got a few more weeks of potential here.
I watch it day-to-day.
Cush
