<<aol at 88. Once is went by 90 I changed my thoughts on the upwards movement. Down we go.>> Bullsh*t robert and you know it. You only changed your attitude because you sold half your holdings. You are one of the wishy washiest investors I have ever seen. You change your attitude everytime you you take a breath. Personally, I wish you would sell your other half and not come back......You simply amaze me...you have a different prediction every hour on the hour and not one of them has any merit whatsoever.

<<aol at 88. Once is went by 90 I changed my thoughts on the upwards movement. D... >> Robert....what's up ? Why you spendin all your time at RF Micro Devices ?? Is this where you put your AOL $$'s. In your above statement, your thoughts more then likely changed out of FEAR. Plain and simple. Again, I have no idea what AOL will do short term, but long term I have no worries. When AOL was at $140+, you, like everybody else, no doubt said you would " back up the truck " at sub $100 levels. Yet, when we got there, you would not buy out of fear. Not only didn't you buy, but you sold some shares as well. You best understand right now you will never be sucessful if you let fear run your portfolio. You play right into the hands of the market manipulators. Fundamentals in AOL did not change. The sector as a whole got nailed, but most of us hung on thinking " we can't fall much more ". Well we did fall...alot more. Well, why sell at all then at such miniscule levels... unless you simply feel AOL is going down the tubes. I know that you don't feel this way. Anyway...just thought I'd drop you a note. Things seem odd here in AOLVILLE wilthout your hourly predictions of grandeur. I hope you were smart enough to buy your shares back...you'll never forgive yourself in a few years. I had a buddy of mine sold at $90...and this after whining for a full year about wanting in AOL at a good price. He bought at $110 the last downfall...and panicked at $90 and sold. Fear stopped him from buying back at $76 - $80, and instead he put his money into some dog with flea's that was currently at it's yearly high......Now, I'm gonna have to go another year listening to him bitch about selling AOL so cheaply. I've said all along that in this type of market...the strong not only survive, but prosper, and the weak get slaughtered. Think how your gonna feel in 5 years when you think about the person that bought the aol shares you sold at $90....... Happy Trading...let us know in AOLVILLE if you decide to buy back your shares.
