CHRZ sold off at the end of the day. Down 7/8s on a 1000 shares, that was most of my loss. OTOH, that's one I don't worry about coming back. I'm gone tomorrow afternoon so I may wait till Wednesday to nibble a bit. Nothing significant, just nibbling. Either way, I figure tomorrow and maybe Wednesday are down as investors sell to settle calls. PROG and IMCL were up a bit today, but overall, of 120 stocks in my portfolio and on my watch list, it was 10 to 1 down. I have seen the NAZ down much more but still have better breadth than today. Not quite enough volume for capitulation, though. Expect tomorrow to be UGLY.

Dale, "The lesson to remember now is the next time we have a good run and everyone is feeling fat, time to take some 100% profits and step aside. " A lesson that I know well, but always seem to forget to apply. Do me a favor, remind me next time <g>. I took about a 3 - 3 1/2% beating yesterday which I was kinda disappointed with but it could have been worse. I was thinking about adding to my AOL position here. What is your opinion on the best way to do that? More stock or maybe options? I have limited experience with options but on stocks like AOL, CMGI, ATHM (all of which I like at these prices) that have high costs, perhaps options would be the most cost effective way to hold them. Thanks, Aegis
