Not earnings plays ... stocks that I liked and bought when they corrected (or so I thought). Loved NITE and sold it at break even months back, so when it dropped from the 80's to 59, had an order in to buy under 60 and voila. Averaged down on it at 45 ... now in the low 30's. Same with the rest -- wanted EBAY and promised myself if it got to around 100 would buy it. Tried for 98 and missed it and decided with a stock like this, what's a few points. Bought on the rally to 104, and down it went. And AOL, etc. ONEM bought when it first was hyped at 41 ... then averaged down in the 30's and upper 20's. Am giving up. Am out of funds - will hold for awhile. Haven't any money left to even "play" with and have been selling like crazy at losses so that I am not on margin. Have to sit on sidelines and hope something comes back for me. AND SOON. All these stocks that have dropped 50% may come back ... but they have to go up 100% to get even. Pretty tough.
