Regarding HMO's and drug stocks. Just to let everone know that HMO's are reading the riot act to panel doctors to steer away from the more expensive prescriptions. Going to be hit with a large margin call tomorrow. Now to contemplate some damage control, perhaps sell part of my positions and convert them over to leaps. The problem is that stocks can be bought on margin, leaps/options cannot. Strange how euphoric I was in the beginning of the week thinking that we have about another 2-3 weeks of growth and then I'll reconsider my positions. I swore to myself that I wouldn't make that same mistake of riding AOL all the way down as I did last year to ever happen again. Well, it's happening once again, and it's not just with AOL, and it does hurt. I'm getting whipsawed so badly, I'm thinking of installing air bags in my next notebook PC. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my $5.00 copays........ Zantac/dramamine/prozac anyone???????? David
