Hi Kieth! Hang in there, best ya can. I have 2 brothers and 1 father-in-law, in kinda the same boat. They have very limited funds, and are ALL out of cash now(after yesterday). They asked me to help them establish positions in some Gorillas last March. <g> I told them then, buy very little, we would probably see some weakness in spring and summer-October. I told them average in through that time period. Well, they are all down obviously, and I keep showing them the year return on the Gorilla list.....still kickin butt there. Its the only thing I can tell em now. Hey, as I'm typing, we are coming back good. I hope this is the bottom. Regards, :0) D.

Hi again Keith, Re...I figured " look how easy it's been " and I got greedy like I think many did You and me both. Looking back it is always easy to see how greedy we were. The dumbest thing I did and I thinks others did too, was not getting out of QCOM, for example, after it had it's 156 point day. If we had been thinking rationally, we would have all bailed. This 156 point rise was after how many days where it went up 30+ points. We all got greedy. But until better technologies come along that will beat QCOM, JDSU, NTAP, EXTR, SEBL, ITWO, CIEN and a few others, I am still comfortable holding them. Go back and chart CSCO and a few others and look at their volatility. You know damn well if you could go back and invest 10K in CSCO when it came public and you had to go through all the ups and downs it went through, you'd do it in a heart beat. I think we have several companies here that could easily have CSCO like numbers over the next several years, of course barring anymore FED rate increases or worse. But again WTHDIK!!! Later, Joel
