Short term 12-12.50 my estimate is by april of 2012. That price may be too far away for you to put in an auto sell order right now...which would be good for someone who doesnt monitor the market daily...but its worth a try.

IMO bad idea to plan to sell at 9. Its worth more than that and will rapidly blow thru that level once we are out of the speculatively volatile mkt we are in right now. There is lots of money to be made in a market like we are in right now.
Thanks Scambo,

Good points. I was thinking about $10 but I think you're right about $12.50ish. Hadn't thought about the auto sell order, I need to look at the website closer. But no, I think I've got other places to put the money (beer and bad coffee) vs holding out for $18 again.
