I guess it makes a difference 'why' you buy a stock. Good point, Sandra. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "anyone who buys based on rumors they hear from strangers on the internet, deserves whatever happens to them." At least be adult enough to take responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming others. a) If you bought HDIE based on rumors of a big deal coming, you are probably discouraged by now. However, the fat lady isn't even warming up let, so don't despair. b) If you bought HDIE as an investment, it seems pretty safe to me. Stop watching and obsessing over daily price swings. They are virtually meaningless to an investor. c) If you are trading HDIE, then you must be a rotten trader because there have been a lot of good opportunities to make $$ trading this puppy. The problem is people get caught between conflicting trading/investing philosophies. Sometimes we buy with one goal in mind and then change mid stream. This is a cardinal sin of investing and we should all constantly remind ourselves to continually reassess. Remember: An investment is nothing more than a failed speculation! We should expect some uneasyness from those who are now investors because they made a bad trade. BTW, I don't mean to preach (though it may sound like it). I've made these same mistakes myself. I just try not to whine about it in public. rpm <barefoot at the beach with a laptop>
