OT: Another old stock market story:

A young boy goes into the woods to catch a wild turkey. He's using an old-fashioned box trap: a box propped up at one end by a stick with a string tied to the stick. The boy sprinkles some grain under the box, unwinds the string and hides in the brush.

Within a few minutes a turkey comes along, sees the grain, and ducks under the box. All the boy has to do is pull the string. "Wow, that was easy," the boy thinks. "I'll wait just a bit longer and see if another one comes along."

Sure enough, a few minutes later another turkey wanders up and goes under the box. "Oh my gosh,there's nothing to this," thinks the boy. "I'll wait a bit longer and see if I can get just one more."

In a few minutes the second turkey wanders out from beneath the box and goes off into the woods. "Gosh, I was being greedy," says the boy. "I'm going to wait for that turkey to come back and then be satisfied with two."

In a few minutes, the first turkey comes out from beneath the box and disappears into the woods.

Take your profits while you can.
