MDC hit your target, and after 4 to 6 quarters ... right on schedule.

You did say you would sell in 4 to 6 quarters, didn't you?

I had the finest meats and cheeses ready to send 4 to 6 weeks after your purchase, but the meats have since rotted and become a home to a colony of flys, and the cheeses dried, crumbled, and blew away in the breeze of some of my picks flying by.

No one ever went broke taking a profit my fast friend....remember the story of the tortoise and the hare?

Hey Ernie, Am I missing something here? MDC high for the day was $55.09 & it closed at $54.00. I think you said you would sell at $59.40.

This has nothing to do with the tortoise and the hair---the key is the tortoise did not brag that he would win in a 4-6 week sprint! Let's put this MDC one up for a poll!

Oh, and yes, you can go broke taking a profit, Ernie---example: If a person has $50,000 and invested it in MDC on July 10, 2002 and in the meantime invested his or her other investments lost $200,000 (and you had invested your entire net worth) including margin now owed of $170,000 between July 10,2002 and when you now are thinking of selling MDC on November 1, 2003 (over a year later!)--- try telling your broker, your family, and your bankrupcy attorney, that you are huge...

Norm, on May 8, 2003 (well after the 4-6 week time frame of the stock pick on July 10, 2002) MDC had an 11 for 10 split. Ernie could not have anticipated this as it was sooooooooooooooooooooo much after the 4-6 week time frame within which he said he would sell the stock!

Oops! Now you did it Ernie, you pissed off the Mad Professor!
I see 2 different target price's. The buy/sell price on the homepage differs from the buy/sell price posted on this board. Which one is right? Let's put this one up for a poll. Or is it up a poll?

Big Norm...Bec1 is correct...the stock split 11 for 10 so that the 59.40 target price is reduced to 54.00. I did not have a sell order in and hopefully I will sell it tomorrow. If not, I'll hold it longer.

Bruce, I'm sorry, Bubba

The split explains it. It's must be that I'm angry with the Yankees today. I work in Vermont with 200 Red Sox fans and I have to catch a lot of crap.

The only 2 Yankee fans are me (I'm born in Brooklyn) and the Human Resource Director. (He's from the Bronx)

Tomorrow's another day!
