And I sold too early that third serving...also sold too early the second COCO serving, but a profit is a profit and my cash was really low (it got under 5%...). In edit and just took off IBM here at $92.80 for another $.64, getting close to double bucker on that one. Also took off CDWC here at $69.70 actually a mino loss of $.13, but considering how low it went (and I could not double, cash shortages <g>), not a bad recovery. QCOM went at $63.20 for just $.23. MERQ followed here at $43.42 a miniml dime and BRCM as well at $39.35 for another $.23. QLGC sold here at $42.79 for another $.43. SNDK went at $27.27 for $.40. Got to go and eat. I don't want to be too loaded into lunch. Bu$$ went for a dime.
