I got out at 29 1/8 when it was on its first way down. The volume had dropped off and it was a Friday afternoon. I had a buy in at 27 7/8 but it clearly never made it. Island's last trade just before 8pm EST was 29 3/16 so there was no particular movement after the bell. On Monday morning I'll buy back and if the Market looks solid I guess I may have to pay the price for selling, but I like cashing out over the week-end. I like E*Trade a lot, but I know how to divorce the company from the stock. I admire those who buy and hold since I believe the company is coming along very nicely and should make a good long-term investment. Maybe dividends will be sooner than predicted.
