nothing wrong with sitting on 50,000 shares if you have nothing better to do with $4000 - i would assume the folks on this thread run the gambit of trading a couple thousand dollars to those trading the IRA in the hundreds of thousands
if you can't afford to leave the $4000 sit for 6 months or even risk losing it, then don't park your $4000 in HISC - try MSFT for some safety
