Nas,

<<If we tour the 18's again I may buy some but at this point I am busy bailing out other positions that honestly I have more faith in.>>

Then honestly I don't think you should, but of course, this is the real crux of "self directed". The decisions are your own.

You mention that you are holding primarily in a self directed IRA. I do not know any trading restrictions on such accounts that would prevent you from trading IDTC, or any other investment, to your heart's content. In fact, by having an equity in an IRA it serves to free you from tax considerations that otherwise might enter into trading decisions. I use a SEP account as well as a couple of trading accounts. In fact half of my IDTC is in that account. The SEP is free from Capital gains considerations.

Best,
Stitch

i think it unfair to compare idtc to the naz in a time slice as 10 days, unless you want to take it from the beginning of the year. as i posted yesterday, many net stocks took bigger hits than idtc. or compare idtc today to the naz 11% vs 2%.

...I am busy bailing out other positions that honestly I have more faith in.

this confused me, is this a yogi berra type quote?
