FJ,

Its been an eyeopener for me and I supect others like me following this coversation. I have little experience of the various machinations we have heard .

One thought that bothers me given the earlier 'tree shaking' that went on by big players trying to aquire more shares held by retailers, is that Pinetree is being so closely followed that if they chose to sell tactically, would not this cause a certain amount of panic selling amoungst retailers, particularly after the earlier experience of some retailers here when OPEL was in trouble with solar.

I was a very early buyer of OPEL shares and until I discovered this board had little knowledge of the whys and wherefores of the ups and downs of the SP. Perhaps ignorance is bliss or one can over think what is going on.

Not wishing to profit from riding the waves of SP trend, my approach is to hang to every share whilst I can see that the fundemetal tecnology and management of its continued development appears strong,regardless of the share price.

Its always been comforting to hear from the seniors on this board 'hang on to every share'. But I presume we must all work out our own exit stratgies given particular circumstances, when should we hit the panic button? or is that something for the wigi board.
