25% loss.... I don't know where you set your stops, but mine are usually 20%, for techs somewhat higher. What rules do you set for yourself? Do you stick to them? These are rhetorical questions, but actions like are in these stocks are what dictate you MUST stick to your stops. If a stock runs up too fast, I actually close my stops to about 10% or sometimes even 5%, but I NEVER make em greater than 20% (except, like I said, for techs). As for today, sheer attrition. But MIND and MDCO holding up fairly well. DIVE sure is up nicely on the buyout news. Big Dog: Biting or nibbling at FGII here? If not, got a downside target where you'd accumulate? Thx for sharing, all. I've become a bit more cynnical I know. If it's too much, I'll stop. Good luck to all! Baz
