I have learned another valuable lesson ... take what you read on these threads with a grain of salt. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has an opinion and guru or not, they are not always right. I bought some AOL last night (to average) at 90 and after reading all the threads and posts, decided I made a mistake and sold at the open - got out at 89 1/2 -- and now it is up more than 3. This does not mean it will hold - but it does show that I again reacted in a panic to what I read. Sometimes you have to go with your gut - had I held could have sold at better than break even; but I was convinced I once again over paid. The nets may come back today or they may come back next week - if there is a stock you like and you think "x" is a good price to pay; then go with your gut. It is near impossible to get in at the bottom. Stick with your personal comfort zone and don't let yourself get frightened out. If fundamentals change, that is one thing. But if everything remains the same - DON'T LET FEAR RULE YOU! Now, if I can only follow my own advice, I might actually once again start to make some money!
