Congrats Davidm, now if I could just overcome my fear of buying into the face of hyper-runups, I'd join 'ya. There used to be a time--way, way back in stock market lore--pre-October 1998 I believe it was--when it seldom paid to buy into such a runup. Stocks moving 3 or 4 points a day were considered big moves. 10 points a day--and for consecutive days--were unheard of! Something had to be seriously out of line with the expectation and valuation for such a thing to happen. I just can't seem to shake my "is this much of a move in such a short time sustainable?" mindset. So I'll probably still be shaking my head as it doubles from here unfortunately for me :o(
