Ody,
Something didn't look right so I checked. Karel's INT had a 2 for 1 split.

Aye....a possible IOU written on me peg leg from sir billy....

I be holdin' me FRE till $3 so it may be a bit before I have actual coins to lend.......but ye be able to join the list on me peg leg billy, ifn' ye still need to then.....

I'll hold with ya, I'm still in at $1.95 for a loss.. but I still feel this stock will shoot up again at some point.... feel it has the same potential as Citi ( which I doubled my money with earlier this year )



Fixed, good eye Billyjoe!

Hags,
Maybe ye can loan me some coin with only 29.59% gain I'm barely scraping by.

Ody,
Why didn't you tell me to put my retirement funds in this port with a 10% stop? I'd be on a deserted South Pacific island right now.

------------billy

yes, picking good stocks a year ago was like shooting fish in a barrell. still, that didn't stop me from picking one that's lost >90% since... it was, unfortunately, also the biggest position in my port last year.

[Odysseus]

lol sorry Billy, I'm greedy, what can I say?
