Question...

There has been a lot of talk of a split here recently...has the company made any announcement along this line (I cannot find one) and if not, why is it even under discussion?

<<i.I need to take you with me to Vegas so you can coax me into leaving the blackjack table while I'm still up and sober.<

brk, I'd be the worst person to try to get you away from the blackjack table... I love to gamble on blackjack and racehorses. But, I try to separate my enjoyment of gambling and from my investments(I need those to succeed in order to help pay for those trips to Saratoga).

The key thing here is that very few people on this board would dream of sitting down at the BJ table with $10K or $50K. Yet, they don't have any problem having that much money riding on WCTI. Sadly, they don't really have any notion of how successful or unsuccessful this company will be(none of us can). At best, they are taking an educated guess. Well, my feeling is that if you've got a 1000% return on your investment already and you don't take any of the money off the table you are being both greedy and stupid. If WCTI is someday worth $500 per share I may wish I had kept the couple of thousand shares I've sold. On the other hand, I'll still have as much and be pretty damn happy about it...
