Wouldn't that be nice. I hate and loathe this stock. At least with the larger dividend I got something for being well over 50% down. Now thought, even that has decreased. I wish someone would buy it,! Anyone. Maybe they could manage it better, or just get us out entirely. Hey, Warren B. wanna buy a stock to go with the NVE you just bought?

The balance was finally filled sometime after 3. Now, when it goes down (my buys always seem to go down first), I can buy some more!

I wish it would hold off another day or two so I could continue buying, but...I guess I can't always have my way.

I''ve played around with options in past years but have never done very well. So, I think I'll let those machinations pass me by. Yes, it is nice to have a stock I buy go up. Usually they go down the minute I buy them! And, yes, I understand that the price goes down the equivalent amount on the X-date of a dividend. As long as it comes back up, that's really all I care about. I think most investors now days know about that.

Thanks for all your help!

Curth29,

I bought another 500 yesterday and when I saw what the market was doing today I raced to buy another 500 but found FCX was up, not down like much of the rest of my portfolio.

I don't know what the X date is for the special dividend. It would most surely be nice if I could get it!

I have a terrible time using the new Yahoo board. I'm glad they sent a notice to my home address, too. I couldn't find these messages on the board, itself. Had to use the one from my home mailbox to get back here. I'm no techno-wiz!

Sentiment: Buy

Oh, phooey. I appreciate your referral to the United LNG website. It was really interesting...but they're privately held. That broke my little heart! Then, looking further, as I understand it, to hold anything having to do with MPEH I have to buy MMR. Do I have that right? (I find it funny since it was only a few months ago that I deleted MMR from my watch list...) I tried the MOXY and came up with nil.

So, if you've got more info on what I need to buy to in order to hold a position in the terminal, would you be good enough to tell me?

Sorry to be such a pest, but I'm getting very confused about who is the publicly traded entity amongst all of these who will have the most exposure to the terminal.

Again, I thank you.

Curth, are you saying that United LNG is the hidden gem or that you feel Freeport McM Energy is the hidden gem?

I bought FCX and will probably be doubling that Tuesday, but I'm really interested in getting into this terminal. So, I gather from your message I should really be looking at United. I will do so asap with an eye to buying, too.

I really appreciate the time you took to respond to my request. Thank you.

Doesn't seem to have done either good or bad, to any extent, does it? Funny that neither of us remembers quite why they did it!

I, too, have posted Yahoo more than once, to no avail. I'm at the point where I rarely go to the Yahoo boards because so many are like this and Yahoo doesn't seem to care to do anything about it. The pevert is still posting an enormous amount is this is May 9th, You posted your post the 23rd of April which was something like 10 pages ago...all of which are nothing but posts from the pervert.

Too bad Yahoo keeps losing readers.

Hey, good idea, but don't stop there. Shall we try for $60?

I like ESRX but won't buy it unless there's at least a small dividend. Something to tell me that they care about their shareholders.

I even enjoy doing business with them!

I know the old saw, "Sell in May and go away"...but perhaps this year it won't happen. After all, the weather has been "different" all year, why not the market, too? I'll try to remember to check back but I'm not on Yahoo much. Spend most of the time on IV.

Sentiment: Hold

Well, here it is in May and the stock is again over $70, not at $60. Dcompaq2000, for your sake I hope you didn't sell!

Sentiment: Hold
