I didnt see it in my crystal ball. either. but fear --and the old saying "never let a profit turn into a loss"--drove me out of Dell at 55. And six months of trading maneuvers, about half of which were mistakes, drove me to plunge back in yesterday at 42. Fear and greed, no crystal ball. (I also was lucky: I took a day off from work because of a bad cold and the feeling this might be a Black Thursday) I am exhausted today from the excitement of trading yesterday. that day is one i will never forget. I AM CALLING A BOTTOM IN DELL AT 40 3/4 I hope I am right. I hope. I hope. jhg

re getting more shares by selling at 68 and buying back at 41 or 42 Well what upsets me is that I sold a mutual fund I had held for years (big tax consequences next April) in August in order to buy DELL during the October crash I was expecting. But I couldnt stay out and got in high, as you know got out low and got back in high again!!! less shares and higher margin resulted. My problem is, and I hope I'm over it now: I havent been able to "wait" when I have cash, (or no margin.) I better be over it, I cant keep doing this, I'll have a margin so big the first crash will cream me. Freeus
