To Art and other real investors: It is futile to try to help some of the people on this and other IATV boards. They are missing one of the most important characteristics of a successful investor: conviction. They make investments without really understanding what or why they bought something, prefering to have the market tell them how to think or feel. Of course, as any experienced investor knows, the market is completely illogical in the short run and NOBODY can learn anything from stock price movements over the short term. Anybody who says otherwise is a liar, a fool, or both. So the stock didn't pat them on the fanny and tell them that they made the right investment decision today. Now we all have to listen to them whine, moan and berate the company, the management, and the stock. Do yourself a favor: Let them sell. I just hope this fair weather crowd realizes that they will never be successful investors because truly successful ones think for themselves and are not swayed by the short-term noise of the market. (Do you think Paul Tudor Jones is wringing his hands over today's price?) Scott
