Mark - Curious as to why you invested in DSFT or LGPT. In my case I was suckered in by some broker who really made it seem as if DSFT was going to do well because of the Y2K problem. I fell for it and put some money in DSFT. After a couple months, while the market was going down for a bit, DSFT was pretty stagnant. Then, this broker called me and tried to get me to buy 40,000 shares of LGPT at 4.5 claiming that the company had some super technology that made them "the most exciting company" he had ever seen. I didn't fall for it and within a few months after the call, both DSFT and LGPT dropped to $1 and below. I took my loss in DSFT and got out (after it had dropped me from a 10 to a 2). I hope you weren't suckered into the stocks by the same broker. I've done pretty well in the market, but this one stupid move of mine cost me half of my profits from last year (never again).
