Lane, I think the "sustained period of caution" is exactly what is happening. The gamblers are just itching for a fix! They've been without for too long. Just like a junkie, they are feeling the monkey. LOL! Brandy

Lane.. you are right and wrong also. I can speak for myself. I have held back on the internets for a full six weeks, I did not hold anything long since I sold NTBK and SWS last week in April and a few overnighters in MAY. I have been stoic in making 2-3 points gains in puts (as opposed to the double and triple baggers I enjoyed going with the nets calls for the past 9 months until April 28). I have 'allowed' some extravagance simply to 'pay back my patience' these last weeks. I did not jump in after the first earthquake (NTBK and the fiasco with TBFC).. lots came back in the nets but they did not anticipate the 'aftershocks' that lasted for 6 weeks after the initial earthquake. We are a little impatient but, again speaking for myself, I did sell almost all my positions today (75% of them at least) SF does the same and Susan is now going in cautiously also (GNET etc.) But when the nas is up 103 and the shorts are running for cover, I like to take the plunge once in a while.
