Here's a quiz for those who believe in eBay and other Internet stocks:

20 QUESTIONS

1.Did you ever lose time from work or school due to stock trading?
2.Has stock trading ever made your home life unhappy?
3.Did stock trading affect your reputation?
4.Have you ever felt remorse after stock trading?
5.Did you ever trade to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
6.Did stock trading cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
7.After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
8.After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
9.Did you often trade until your last dollar was gone?
10.Did you ever borrow to finance your stock trading?
11.Have you ever sold anything to finance stock trading?
12.Were you reluctant to use "stock trading money" for normal expenditures?
13.Did stock trading make you careless of the welfare of your family?
14.Did you ever trade longer than you had planned?
15.Have you ever traded to escape worry or trouble?
16.Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance stock trading?
17.Did stock trading cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
18.Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create within you an urge to trade?
19.Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of stock trading?
20.Have you ever considered self destruction as a result of your stock trading?

Some of you may recognize what I've done above - I took the quiz from gamblersanonymous.org and substituted "stock trading" for gambling. Those of you who pushed the Internet stock prices to insane levels are really people with a gambling problem and need help!
