"First the buying must repair what selling has done to psychology." Ahhaha- Yes, this has been my greatest concern for many of the tech/Internet stocks that have been beaten down over the last several weeks. I, too, believe that confidence needs to return to the market, especially to the Internet sector. People are gun shy, and I don't blame them. It may take awhile to restore the positive sentiment. I think ATHM is attractive at these prices, but also realize we may not have hit bottom. I agreed with Greg M. when he said he was not impressed with the 9+ point gain a few days ago. He wasn't confident that ATHM had bounced back. I reluctantly agreed with him. Anyone who has read my posts knows how bullish I am on this stock. My belief in this stock is akin to a piece of wrought iron furniture. The black paint has worn off, and the iron is beginning to weather. However, like wrought iron, my faith is solid. I believe in the future of broadband and feel that Excite@Home will be there in the forefront. I like what I see and read about the company. I am excited about the tandem management of Bell and Jermoluk. This Portland situation does not greatly concern me. ATHM will succeed regardless. When, and if, there's a roadblock, all survivors just find another route. That's what ATHM will do. Many of us can look back and say what fools we were that we didn't sell at 190, 180, 170, 160, 150, 140, 130, etc. I think it would be equally foolish to sell now that we are close (if not AT) the bottom. I've been on the downhill ride this long, I might just as well ride it out. Anyone have some steel wool and wrought iron paint? Ed (wanna be 1st class sucker)
