HRB-an interesting piece from Bloomberg. Earnings confirmed to be tomorrow after the close. Should be on everyone's watch list. quote.bloomberg.com

Hey Nokomis-- Hang in there. There are alot of people going through the same thing right now. At least you didn't buy some "Joe Blow" co down the block. It's AOL. It'll be fine. It may take awhile but it'll come back. There are some good lessons for all of us to learn from this pullback. Go out and do some gardening. Get away from it for awhile. When you're ready, take a good look at that chart and try to see what you could have done differently. Are you going to sell at this point? If not, then there's no sense in worrying about it. If you are, then just pick yourself up and start again... You can do it. I know you can......take care.....Janie

Nokomis ... I share your pain, a lot of us do. I bought VERT at 79 thinking I was so smart since it was down almost 50% ... closed in the low 50's ... bought TMCS at 70 now around 23 ... bought NTBK at 41 now around 26 ... Seek at 75 now around 35 ... AWEB 37 now 12, etc. You get the picture .. and I have AOL too! I keep telling myself they will come back. Most of them will - I just have to live long enough to see it (and if the stress doesn't kill me, I will <gg>) So you are in good company. Many of us here believe in some of these stocks for the long term. Some of mine are stinkers .. but I am sure AOL and NTBK will come back. Perhaps not to their recent highs, but good enough. I left today for an hour or so the market was depressing me so that I needed an escape. Can do you the world of good. Don't sit at the pc when you are feeling like this unless you are looking to sell. But try never to sell when you are feeling in a panic mode, not unless it was a "clear headed" decision. Some of my worst decisions were made in a panic that I regretted. I sold AOL twice in the past 2 years in a panic ... made nothing and AOL split twice since both those sells. I have learned a lesson. If you believe you have the premier company, plant your feet firmly and hold. Painful yes, but selling only to have it go up the next day is more painful, believe me. Good luck.

NOKOMIS: Every trader...every...goes through this at one time or another. I don't know your situation with AOL. I'm told it's a fine company, but you own the stock...and the stock is being sold. Can you sell it and take the loss? Can you sell and deal with maybe watching it bounce up? Can you sell half? When I've been in these situations I have a hard time making decisions and it's tough enough when things are "normal". Try to protect enough capital so that you can "get it back" later, in AOL or elsewhere. Hang in boobeleh. (Lee)

Nokomis, one way for you to get some money out of AOL is to sell Calls against your position.If you have AOL at a very high price, You can sell long term Calls or even Leaps against your position. If you feel that AOL will recover shortly,you can then buy shorter term calls,just in case AOL recovers. Or if you would rather not buy options on AOL,you can use the extra money to buy another stock that you feel will make you more money. Good luck, Manny T.
