I see, Eric.
Behind our, hopefully temporary "motivation" and "obsession", there were reasons. I had mine, Sarmad with his, yours...and I am sure many others. Sorta scared to think about all the new/young comers in the next few years.
The learning curves are scary!

<<<<Had I joined this thread in April, you would have heard me expressing a lot of pain. I also admit to having bought AOL at around 166 - and then selling it at 135 (again at the time I bought, analysts were talking of price targets of 200).>>>>

Eric,

Don't try to "get back" at the market by trading. It's a losing proposition. Been there, done that...

I don't know of any stocks that I can comfortably buy and hold long term.

That's a bummer. What kind of time commitment can you give your money invested in stocks of fine companies? Are you saying you have not found any companies/stocks you can buy and hold for five years expecting to profit? What about CNET, or VTSS, or PG, or NOK?
