I hope this week will be good, but I think bigger and better things are still coming. Analyst have not taken interactive TV seriously yet, because it's simply not out there. There have been may promises and delays in the past, but finally it looks it will really happen. When the service rolls out and advertisers start knocking down Liberty's doors, IMO the stock will skyrocket. Everyone will do what they must this week, but I will try to hold on. I don't want to lose shares in "chasing" the stock as it goes up. In addition, I would have to pay 20% on most of my stock to the federal government and 7% to the state. After considerable gains, if I sold some stock I would have to pay QUARTERLY estimated taxes on my profits. The stock would have to fall back at least 30% to make it worth my effort. It may or may not, but I'm not willing to take that chance. I foresee more news in the future that will continue to propel the stock higher. Someone posted earlier that anyone who held stocks like CMGI, RNWK, ITVU, etc... for over a year or two has some resilience and now a lot of money. I've held from under $2 and will continue to hold until this thing plays out. What happened last week after hitting $25-1/4 may or may not happen again. Remember, the whole internet sector went down when the stock hit 13-1/2. Anyway, that's my opinion.
