Sure. I buy gap downs on stocks with bad news. . . .the knee jerk reaction is often as overplayed as the news itself. . . . but I wouldn't give it the same odds. . . .any stock that is falling is best left until selling stops.

Don't shoot the messenger. . . I have warned caution over and over. Some may disagree but I believe we are in the perfect setting for a bear trap on internet stocks. Such would trap those active online traders heavy in internets near today's highs. . . Then in the morning, should those same stocks see big gap downs based on the weak dollar and weakening market, there might be some real bloodshed. I am mostly happy with my current crop, which is mostly in the broadband / telecom sector. . . they seem to show stability during turmoil. . . my only regret is not selling some ADBL and ADFC this morning when I felt I should. . . probably one of those GREED OVERRIDES. Stop listening to your inner voice that says "take your profits" and you will surely hear your outer voice curse your loss. Rande Is
