Howdy Joe, the WARP looks nice plus with the lucky ticker name because of StarWars 1 release this week. Good luck with it, got it on my Looky List but just working with what I got already now except couldn't resist that IATV's news and share price, new to me as of yesterday. While stocks aren't racehorses, timely ticker names do get a bit of a jump ahead dont'cha think...just for the fun aspect if nothing else. Glad you like my plan...and yeah, to blast at more GNET if it goes to 120 again would be nice - no problem with confidence in that one in the months to come. But because of the no-debt, I'm guessing that GNET's already been spotted for this quality and it'll go up before others will because of it. CNXT had a little dip but just because of a lag in specific news and whacking at the chip/semi sector overall this week, and maybe because it has debt too. But it'll do us just fine in the months and years ahead. As a spinoff, for me, CNXT shares became freeriding as soon as ROK got back to where I bought it at...or that's the way I look at it. It'll take a little more time to get those ROK shares free, but I will. Speaking of spinoffs; we talked about LU awhile ago, and Lu has never lagged like this after a split. INTC is lagging again too...those both are still good bargains, along with predicting IBM will probably lag after it's split. I don't think GNET will; still not enough shares to make it huge. I think once a split brings the shares out there especially from a huge to a huger level, it gets scary to many who see less inherent value there with less room to grow. I don't look at it that way, but some do... same as a lithograph series of 100 will have more value than a series of 1000 by the same artist is what IMHO it really is....as Jed would say "dat's Sy-Kol-A-Gee". Same as once a stock gets big earnings per share, the investors expect a dividend as a direct share in those earnings. And once they get a dividend, they don't expect such big growth in the share price; so they don't get it. Sometimes it's a good move to go contrarian to demdere Sy-kol-agee and buy when others sell, and sometimes it isn't. LU, INTC, and IBM will all probably go lower than where they are now before they go higher, along with the cycle - if not this cycle, then another one. Cycles are like coiled springs inside of a larger rhythm; an analogy would be a shock absorber's action. Ultimately, historically, longholders win no matter what. For Good American Companies, the shares will split and increase, give dividends, and also grow in share price. All these big old bluechips would be as expensive as Berkshire Hathaway if they hadn't split so many times since the 1920's when their pps was thousands of dollars in today's money and the Company was so much smaller then. Which of today's TechNets are tomorrow's bluechips? Watching 'em close, time will tell. But here's a Daily Double bet for a yearling miler race....CNXT On The Nose, GNET On The Nose. Got some comers for the Exacta too, so do you. We All got 'em. The trick here is always hold some shares...Ride 'em Up; buy, sell, buy, sell...Ride 'em down; sell, buy, sell, buy! Hold Onto The Bar, Please! Our Techride Collective Portfolio would blow many minds as much as it blows mine. How could such a thing be anything but beautiful?! Dont'cha think? Yer pal, Joanie
