Your welcome, I just put it up as I saw it, and there was a certain feeling I had about the whole thing from the beginning. You know, I've seen it stated quite a few times that sometimes basic instinct, or GUTS, is what leads you, not gossip, or frenzy. I was riding home on the train with my sister in late November, and I never really invested all that much, but I kept seeing in headlines Internet this and that. Stocks going up (I think the first thing that jolted me was that Books-a million thing). So this gets me thinking, and I'm no dummy, I'm well aware that what goes up goes down. So I bought Barron's, Investor Online magazine, Business 2.0, and Red Herring. The Investor's Online magazine was GREAT. It had all this stuff about websites, including silicon investor. So I'm on the train, all excited and nowhere to go, and I'm reading Barrons' and I yell at my sister, see this CALP (which is now IMON.) An internet web browser waiting to be introduced!!. Well the next day I buy a whole bunch of this stuff at 2.25, and the next two days it drops to 1 1/2, So much for modern wisdom. So we buy more ( I got my sister excited too! ) Well anyway the rest is history, and wer'e out now, but I don't regret it. Actually I did OK, so did my sister!. The moral of the story - I guess it's not what you know, or who you know, but how you think!! Mr. Rhino
