For example, dcspka paid about a $15 per share when he started "touting" this stock and the merger/takeover. That is adjusted for the split, of course. If dcspka sold 320 of those shares today, he could take a $4480 tax loss.
One of our resident "Longs" might argue that $4480 is peanuts and nobody would bother.... but those same "Longs" talk about 10 million shares in a day being "huge volume." $4480 worth of RXPC traded would be a 44 million share day, which would shock us all.
ahhhhh.... runncoach, where is kenman when you need him? He was the A-list "Long." The last time I saw kenman post, he was loading up on Microsoft because he thought Bing was going to change the world. I told him "I hate Bing." Today I still hate Bing. I stopped using IE and now use Firefox exclusively, all because of Bing. Whenever I accidentally use IE and Bing tries to send me somewhere I had no intention of going.... I think of kenman.
