<Now that is scarey!!!> Yeah. That had the ring of resigned truth to it. I don't feel too bad for myself anymore. Thank god my margin account is 95% cash. I did buy a few Dec 25 calls on OXHP in that acct. today. But in my IRA, all my investments look like long term holds now. John

Well another thing you can do is like me.. Its not the correct thing to do but what the heck.. I bought 500 QNTM for 31.. Well the price dropped to 30 so I bought another 500, The price went to 30 1/2, so I sold that 500.. Then the price went to 29, so I bought 500 shares, The price went to 29 1/2 and I sold that 500 shares. Now my average price is 30.. Heck I should have just shorted a 1000 shares at 30 and make a 3k profit which is the smart thing to do, But I aint that smart.. So now I am loosing like 1 1/2k.. intead of the 2 1/2k.. Somehow it makes me feel better not to loose as much.. wonder why...
