Jean - don't feel moronic. You have to understand to make money on internet stocks, you have to be more of a gambler than a smart investor. I bought AOL at 166 and sold it at 135. And I bought YHOO at 220 and sold it at about 180. Did you know that Sir Isaac Newton (yes that very intelligent English gentleman who formulated the laws upon which much of modern day physics is based) - well Isaac Newton lost a good portion of his wealth in speculative investing - when the South Sea Bubble crashed in the early 1700s. Investing in these stocks is a speculative game where even very smart and very well-intentioned people can lose money. -Eric Wells
