Mark, I must admit this volatility is unnerving me. I admire guys like you who not only take it in stride but profit from it handsomely. Sold hlth, pcln and abov yesterday when the naz was up over 3%. Had to leave for the rest of the market day and just didn't want to be left exposed in any secondary issues. (Granted pcln is often considered first tier, but it is still largely unproven. I know you like it and I do too, but like I say, I am unnerved.) So I am finally off margin. My timing may not be very good, but at least the stocks I sold were significantly up from their lows, if even further from their highs. Like Michelle and Eugene (what I remember from past posts, correct me if I'm wrong you two), I have lost a lot of paper money in the last 2 months, even if it was paper money created since 1/1/99. As for ebay, it is a very unpredictable stock right now. Too much uncertainty fundamentally. I would like to own it again when I regain confidence in it. It has been THE amazing stock of my life... You are a clear voice in this wilderness, Mark. Thanks again. Rob
