Jerry, I took the lead here.

Let me list a few of my favorites and it does not include any vehicles.

JDSU-my and I still own quite a number of shares.
Corning
Avanex
Lucent
Vitesse
Sycamore
Verisign
Sun Micro
Red Hat
EMC

Funny, they're all techs, how about you?

My winners include:

Graphix Zone (GZON) Now on the Pink Sheets
Miracle Entertainment (MEMI) Another Pink Sheets member
Collectible Concepts Group (CCGR) Yet a 3rd Pink Sheet affiliate
Imaging Technologies (ITEC) A step up, Over the Counter
SafeGuard Scientifics (SFE) Big Time here, the NYSE!

and of course, the usual suspects... Intel, Cisco, Sun Micro, Microsoft....

I think one of the top ones has a reverse split recently, like 1 to 100 or something, and its still a sub-penny stock.

Gary,
You need to stay away from the PINK SH_TS.
I also had SafeGuard at one point, but I was lucky and got scared of them.

Cisco and Intel have maintained themselves respectably vs. the rest of the Techs, especially the telecoms.

They weren't pink sheets when I got them. I got caught up in the SFE hype... Watched it from $135 to $300 pre split, and from $100 to $1.25 post split.

you know what they say... Bears make money, Bulls make money... Pigs get slaughtered.

Me too on the SafeGuard hype, but I sold that before the bitter end...

Vertical Net (VERT) takes the cake for me! My Charmin is worth more now!

A local company, was supposed to be the darling of Vertical markets.....its amazing what you can do with NO PRODUCT and smoke and mirrors!
