Agreed. "yet our little group of desperados hung in there tenaciously" however we have lost a few--at least I don't see them posting , like the gentleman from Rochester NY (I think and the gentleman from North Carolina to mention a few.
BTW I wanted to set my 2 kids up with an investment mangement company so I transfered IDCC stock into these new accounts. Of course it was sold and mutual funds were purchases (they have lower tax rates). I have recouped 1/2 of what I gifted in one year.
