TB, Excellent response as always and I agree nothing remains the same. I am a tortoise, not an ostrich. I invest in individual stocks, not mutual funds. If the basic story changes I re-evaluate my decisions and go from there. Currently I am invested in broadband, optics and profitable internet companies. That is where I see the greateest growth potential. Will these companies execute? That is not in my control. But I will watch for signs that they either are or are not fullfilling the promise I think they have. But the stock price gyrations are a lesser indicator of how a company is going to do. If it doubles or halves is only part of the story. If it doubles or halves I would certainly poke my head out of my shell long enoung to take the companys temperature, make my decision and go back to having a good time. How would an investor have done if each month they bought 10 shares of COMS? There average price would be below todays 40 and I believe they would have a piece of the Pilot IPO. PALM has certainly been a volatile stock ranging from 165 to 19 in the last 52 weeks, but it would figure into the overall value of a COMS investment. There are also as many stories where you could say that had you sold when the stock doubled you would have missed out on the greatest part of the growth. MSFT, CSCO, INTC, WCOM and a host of others. Looking back it's always easy to see what you should have done and that should educate your future decisions. Being educated about the markets is what it's all about. That's why we read, post and discuss. Thanks for your contributions. jb
