bt - Yes. The problem is identifying the good ones before it is obvious to everyone that they are the good ones. By the time it's readily apparent, you have to pay a hefty premium. "WCII is just beginning it's journey." Really? What do you call the roller-coaster ride that some of us have been on for the past three years? Jeez, if I knew the journey was only just starting now I could have saved myself a lot of angst-ridden nail-biting. Just listen to the strains of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in Ali's and SW's posts and you can see I'm not alone! I'm not giving you a hard time, just putting some perspective on it. At any rate, I didn't say anything about selling my shares. Not for a good while yet. We're just getting to the good part now...better run to the concession stand to load up on popcorn.

bt: Have to add to your <<WCII is just beginning it's journey. >> The journey began 3 years ago or more. As Paul mentioned, some of us have seen it all. I got in at 4.50 just like Paul and Steve B. We have been through a lot with Winstar. The journey started a long time ago. Some of us are still hanging in there, some of us had to get off. I cannot say owning WCII was fun. Yes, I made a profit on all my shares. I will make more on what I have in. You said: <<If you can imagine what they may look like in 5 years, you wouldn't be selling.>> Without being smart or having a problem with your statement, I say that...........We 'imagined' before you ever heard of WCII. We have also lived with this investment and imagination. With all respect, you cannot go back and be in our shoes... On the other hand, we have been in yours. Well, maybe not. At least you have this great thread to guide you. We were weaned on point to point wireless hairbrushes :-) Don't laugh. That dog the Russians sent up had earphones with a big BR on them. Of course, the pictures they sent back had the smiling face of Alex Mandl as a child. He was a brat then. Ali
