This morning, I had my pointer over the "place trade" button to sell 1/2 my position at 67-68. I asked myself two questions: 1. Can I sleep tonight if it doesn't come back down and I've unloaded 1/2 my shares. 2. Can I sleep tonight if it does come back down and I'm holding all my shares. The answer to both questions was "no," so picked the lesser of the two evils and decided not to place the trade. I sold my "trading shares" at 43 1/4 and haven't bought back yet. I can't touch my "long shares" no matter how tempting. Of course with hind sight, I'm kicking myself because I could have bought back this afternoon and increased my total position by 6-7%. But if I knew the future, I wouldn't be here. The moral of this story: EBPP is huge and is only just now getting recognition. I'll have to suffer the short term losses for the long term riches. I'm still going to toss and turn tonight, but at least I'll sleep...on the other hand, if I'd sold and it went through 70, I wouldn't be doing much sleeping tonight. Sorry to ramble...just happy to be a CKFR holder. Jody

>>> if we'll start trading like the search engines did a couple years ago. My 2 cents. I think we will go up and down with the on-line brokers and banks. BTW, Ameritrade crushed earnings last night.
