Strange but true. A woman I work with was quite upset a few days back. I asked her what the problem was and she explained that she had purchased QCOM for 183 a few days before, and it was in the dumpers. I have thought about how upset she seemed since then, and today I went in to give her a few encouraging words, since the stock was up a bit at that time. Imagine my surprise when in the middle of this new conversation she confided in me that she owned TWO shares. "TWO?!?" I exclaimed. "What's all the fuss about then?" "Well, I lost enough to buy a nice dinner," she retorted, looking at me as if I had no respect for money. I've been shaking my head ever since. I don't know if this means anything, but I thought the thread might enjoy it as a bit of a stress relief. I hope this doesn't end like the old shoeshine boy stories back in the 20s. INTCfan
