El -
My goal is to hold. I had that one block that I bought in June at 27.5, and the chance to get in lower with no tax consequences was just too good to pass up. If we somehow go back down there again I might play the same trick but I don't see that in the cards.

Same connection problems here. Sounds like SI needs to invest in some alpha 21264 servers running linux. Anyone else notice the compusa and officemax ads with packard bell on the front page? What's the deal? that company is on its way out. Too bad compaq isn't microsoft or intel. Then they could punish the resellers for pushing a competitors products.

What do expect? SI uses Dell servers. I think its time they move to the Big Boy...Compaq.

El,
What you say about lunch time and 4PM follows my market breaks when at work. I sometimes have little trouble with SI at that time. People working use high speed internet connections. I not a tech as everyone knows by now. So this is only theory. I think a number of high speed connections might be putting some stress on the SI servers.
