" I had your recommended stock in a regular account and my IRA acct.

I sold ½ of the stock per your recommendation, which returned my original investment.

I sold the remaining stock under my regular account on 4/13/2008 for $32.19 and a gain of over $4000.

On May 21, 2008, I sold remaining shares in my IRA account at $39.75 for a gain of over $5,000.

Thanks for your recommendation on this stock."
