The word is lose, not loose. Lose means to not win, or to misplace, or it is the opposite of gaining money, for instance. Loose is wobbly. I usually don't like to correct anyone because I make plenty of my own mistakes. But you use 'loose' so much it was beginning to raise hackles on my back like fingernails on a blackboard.

"sold stock to get people like you to throw in your hard earned money and let them loose it for you. " That's odd.....AWE is down a whopping 8.5% since I was taken by the AWE IPO. Down-turning economies can do that.<G> bigcharts.com On the other hand I could have invested in CSCO and been down almost 50%, bigcharts.com or for yet an even better non-return I could have invested in that "story-stock" QCOM and been down only 30%. ;-) bigcharts.com But hey, I can see how someone could fall for a stock based only on a technology and not on it's business model.
