<OT> Sun - you said "As an aside note, given that you seem to be rather reluctant to switch your positions quickly, I am surprised that you invest in volatile stocks. Your personality and that of your stocks should match."

This is a very useful observation. The vast majority of my holdings are in CSCO (Yay!) so overall I have done well. But I seem to have an addiction to playing these wild small stocks. Since I have kept my positions in these kinds of stocks relatively small I haven't been burned TOO badly overall. And when they gain they can gain big. But I am curious - can you suggest where someone like myself could find out about less volatile stocks that still have good growth prospects? I would really like to hear some of your suggestions regarding less volatile stocks that a tech investor like me should look into. Also, does "less volatile" mostly translate into "large cap"?

P.S. I appreciate your input re: NTAP. I'm only holding a handful of shares so even if it de-listed my losses would be small. Of course, I'm hoping for somewhat better performance than that. I also appreciate your overall comments. Keep up the good work.

Regards
