For myself, the only thing Alda is preventing me from doing is trading because I have most of my risk capital tied up in APH (some in SMI.v and CLL.t). If ALH had come through this spring and I had taken out the money I had planned to take out, I would have had no place to put the money because I did not need it. If I was foolish enough to try to trade in the summer months in a bearish market, I would have deserved to lose my money. If I was playing with my son's college money, that would be a different story and I would be very anxious right about now.

So from where I sit, I have been waiting and adding since September 2007, I am playing with money that I can afford to lose, and I am not in any rush to get anywhere. I find comfort knowing that the longer I hold onto my stock, the more it will be worth in the long run accoding to the Alda road map.

I expect that there will be some great opportunities to flip this fall and I have already indicated in previous posts (recently) that I plan to play this stock much differently than originally planned. TO is now talking about somewhere between this fall and Q1 of 2009 to have product on the shelves. You can see he is covering his bases and that's fine with me.
