Anybody still here that remembers that early '01 discussion and bought in about that time? Whutcha gonna do now? Buy? Sell? Hold? HK wrote: :} Pardon my smile. Consider yourself pardoned. Actually, when you started posting pics of a new boat a month or so ago, I figured at that point you must have started cashing in LoL! Anyhow, all their numbers still look good and getting better all the time. So I would expect a steady increase in price. It's the spike in their price that caught my attention. Not sure what to make of that. So for now, I plan to keep holding. But that leaves two chances out of three I'll be wrong. Rick |

I bought in at $11 and some of the "boys" here gave me **** for it. But I knew those Rockhurst Jebbies would come through in the long run. I started buying not long after they went public and on through the year of '01, which is why I was interested in the discussion here back then. I don't remember many bears on the stock but I do remember some praise for the products. And I was under the impression that you and I weren't the only ones here buying stock. I don't remember names though and I can't even find the thread(s) in my archives or Googles'. So with the recent run up, I thought I'd just post to see who's planning to do what. Just curious. And btw, I'm smilin' too at this point :-) I hope we can keep it that way :-) Rick |

Check it out and factor it into the fundamentals. --Vic Someone always is complaining about something. As I mentioned, I have a minor problem with a bit of Garmin software. It seems to be a VISTA problem. I talked to a Garmin tech in Kansas yesterday for about an hour as we tried to work through it. He was very knowledgeable and of course spoke ENGLISH. We found a workaround and he escalated the problem. I got an email today that I will be getting a call about the problem. That seems a reasonable approach. Meanwhile, I found a couple of my old XLS files with fishing waypoints on them, so I haven't lost all 300 or whatever of them. Harry, With 300 waypoints, that would mean you were entering 2.6 waypoints for every hour you used the boat. I am impressed. |

That seems a reasonable approach. Now I see Tom bought a non-Garmin GPS. What I was suggesting in reading that complaint is that one might recognize that Garmin went big into auto GPS's, perhaps neglecting their marine arm. Now other mfg's might be making inroads in the auto-side GPS market. I described what I know about the stock market when I mentioned the Retin-A and Johnson and Johnson, which is nothing, and wouldn't think to give advice on stocks. It's not rocket science though to suggest taking some profits in any market. I do trade commodity futures, and have seen how market fundamentals aren't always readily recognized. --Vic |
