Yes, anyone who has held long so far has been wrong and yes some of the longs are nice. But once in a while a Microsoft, Intel or a Rambus happens.
If these patents are what they appear to be. This story isn't over by a long shot and those traders like you that have made the right moves so far may be kicking themselves down the road for selling out cheap. I'm sure there are some pretty wealthy people that put their faith in Microsoft when it was nothing only to realize something bigger than the next trade.
Good luck to you,
Steve
