hope you weren't calling me stupid or my decision to do what was best for my family and that meant selling at $135. If I'd been smart I'd have sold at $190 ; but forgot that 80% profits dont come easy, and snubbed the chance to take that kind of return in just 3 or 4 months. Stock is now at $86, there isn't a person on this thread and would love to have sold at $136 and bought back today at $86. Some probably made out even better. I haven't bought back yet, but am considering it. I use their service and have for quite some time and am very pleased. But I don't marry stocks anymore. I put my money where I think it can grow the fastest. I'm too young to worry about the "conservative" or "long term" factor. My family will be fine, regardless of the outcome of our investing "for fun" with some of these stocks as they move up and down. I tried holding stocks for a LONG TERM thing and it ended getting me Ch7 bankruptcy. Now with over 300stock trades since mid April I've grown our "play money" 1300% and was as high as 2000% just two weeks ago.. last week hurt a big and we spend about 20% of our portfolio on a whole new bedroom set and a trip to Cayman Islands. Anyway, maybe you weren't talking directly to me, but regardless of what you do, I'll do what's best for me .. and no matter what else: I'm an @HOME customer for life. jim
