Kelly,

Sounds like you are asking if there is any way we
could figure out a way to predict the future.  :).

j/k.

In any case, I know how you feel.  I think everyone
here has been in that situation at one time or
another, and probably more times.  Actually, it
happens to me a few times the last few months.  Been
eyeing a stock for a long time, and seeing it about to
BO.  Then it BO with a %10+ price.  Then I just jump
up and down and curse at the air.  :).

Look at the bright side, it is still withing the entry
point.


Your Fellow Texan,
tomas
