<<If only someone would come and say clearly and definately ....This is not the end of investing in stocks I'de be happy to sit and wait a year or so.>>

Limtex, my friend, if you find someone who can give you a 100% money back guarantee on this, please let me know. And, while you've got them button-holed, ask them what the price of Qcom will be in 2001, split-adjusted <ggg>. Might be up, might be down.

Market days like these are no fun for anyone. Some stay, some fold. I would never give anyone advice either way because I frequently am unsure myself. If one sells out they have limited any further loss but also any further gain. Either choice is valid for the individual. If only we had a crystal ball ... .

Best to you. ...Tim

Hey, I'll be more than happy to say that this is not the end of investing in stocks. If the market could survive something like the debacle that hit it in the 20's (the beginning of the depression) It can survive anything. What I really think that you want someone to say is that this is not the end of the current rules for investing in stocks. That this is not the end of the current definition of "fundamentals" and there isn't anyone in this world or any other that can do that. The edifice and the institution that the stock market is and the rules that it plays by are two distinctly different animals, one forgets that at their own peril.
