COMS - not to toot my own horn because I am wrong sometimes (but never again ggg) but I was proclaiming a BUY on COMS last week. Now it has only begun to ramp up because it is an INEVITABLE takeover situation. Why? because they can't survive very well on their own. And because big telcos need their networking to keep CISCO from taking over Europe. And now INTEL is the the hunt. And because Palm Pilots are the cutting edge product for the next generation mini net-PC's you can take anywhere you go. Expect a takeout sooner than later at about $50 a share.

I started with 12k at the first of the year in my trading account. I am at 95k now. It has been a good three months in the market. I just don't know if I have the skills to make money when the market is not doing as well. I have also been more cautious after the fun we had with ASCT. I lost 20k there. Since then I have not been loading up on any one stock as I did on that one. Again thanks for your help and everyone else's here. I think the most important thing I have learned to to be more patient and wait for good trades. I spend a lot of time at this but I cannot followup on every stock that gets mentioned on SI. Having a group that you can trust really helps. Stocks that get mentioned here I know are not just a hype job and are worth looking into. I follow about 6 other thread mainly just lurking. After a while you get to know the posters and who you can trust. This really helps especially during the day as I do not have a lot of time to put into this while I am working.
