I bought 10 shares. Could have gotten them at $2.30 like I tried but Merrill blocked the trade yesterday and I got discouraged I had to call in the trade. So I ended up buying today and got in at $3.33 instead. Merrill does this all the time to me. This is a long term hold anyway. I can't time markets. I lost plenty of $$$ years ago trying that. So I hold all my stocks for very long times. One has to hit a jackpot eventually.

$VIDA: She's blowing up today............. now $4

WOW............. started the morning at just $2.50

BOooommmmmmmmmmmmm boom boommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
