Hi, I appreciate your sentiments regarding perceptions of executive compensation. The fact is that this market has been full of various madnesses which have made some people a lot of very real money. So, then, how does one discern the visionary madness from the crazy madness? Your thoughts on that would be appreciated. Ed

Well Champolion you have done very well. Those who buy and hold this to 50, 100 will also do very well. You sure fooled me ( your excessive reactions) with all those posts you made when you were long. If you buy in again you probably will do the same next time.

Well congratulations, really. I'm less concerned about the daily fluctuations lately and now am just concentrating on the long term prospects which remain pretty awesome. You know as well as I that the craziness has just begun. The run up to 25 was a little ahead of itself but the next run may be harder to call. I have this real good deep down feeling that this stock is going to get red hot and trade much like those previously mentioned internet stocks with less prospects. You know, the ones with a 52 week low of 8 and a high of 250.

Champ the Trader, Am to believe that you bought both your shares a $7.00 and then sold them both at $20.00. And then have taken your $40.00 in proceeds, borrowed $8.00 from your cousin Vinny and then purchased four more shares at $12.00, which you in turn sold for $18.00, grossing an incredible $72.00, less your original $14.00 plus the $8.00 loan from cousin Vinny. It looks to me that your netted before short term capital gains tax, $50.00….. Note: These figures do not include any commissions and/or handling charges by a brokerage house. The mathematical calculations were completed after two or more Bud-Wise-rs (so Stag should review them). Short-term capital gains tax should be calculated at 28%, based on the fact that I am sure Champ makes less then $55,000.00 per year. As far as Warren Buffet goes, I am trying to recall without avail the last time he quoted “ Yes, that's right, I bought Coke for $48.00 and sold it at $67.00, and then a few weeks later I doubled my position at $55.00. I am currently looking to sell it at $73.00, they have lots of competition you know, Pepsi, Tea, Coffee, Water, Bud, Sprite, just to name a few” I also have to tell you that I have know more then a few guys who “Say”, they make those great trades, but I don't think I know any who “Really” (consistently) do. You have got to be one of the most arrogant people I have ever seen on the threads; in fact my broker called me earlier laughing about your posts, and said “You can't even imagine how many times I have heard that song and dance in the last 20 years”. If you really are a billionaire and have made it all trading the market, I am completely wrong and retract all the smart-ass comments above. Jack
