Kerry, It goes like that sometimes. But you are not alone. Even the greatest investors get worked sometimes. Consider: Warrent Buffett got thrashed by Waste Management last year. If he can't find accounting irregul- arities, nobody can. Peter Lynch got thrashed in Gold Stocks last year. George Soros had a big stake in BRE-X. So Kerry, you can see that everyone has their bad days. My advice would be to dollar cost average the S and P 500 in a tax protected account. You will outperform 80% of the professional fund managers in any given year, save money on taxes, and over time build a bundle in the account. You can keep your online brokerage but look at it more like a hobby so that you don't feel the pain when you take a hit. Good luck, -John
