CMGI I didn't get back in at 40. I bought the stock on two different accounts and sold one, although that is a smaller number of shares. I had planned on selling both, but decided on only selling off the larger one to make funds available to short AMAT. When I was trying to answer a bunch of questions in that post and make sure I covered the two I got about whether CMGI was still a hold, I had forgotten I posted that earlier. Sorry. Alot of times I will sell partial positions if I am uncertain intraday - thats also a form of risk management for me. Its also not a good way for most people to trade. Usually, if I sell off most of a position I will post it as sold as long as that is reflective of my opinion of the stock and not something I am just doing to make another trade. Every once in awhile I slip up though. ls
