Freeus! What are you doing over here?! I went short this "thing" and, well, the good news is I was looking to get into shape and lose a few pounds and well, I'm down 6 already!!!!

Actually, I've weathered the storm and looking to play it out with some temp long positions, averaging up! I'm close to even!

Remember the day we talked about shorting AMZN @105!!!! Man, that was just awful advice on my part!! I didn't!

If I can't change my mind, I may not have $change$ to mind!!

Good Evening Freeus,

I think we are shareholders in some excellent companies, Dell, Msft, Intc, Aol, Csco etc.
Although my problem with AOl has been the lofty valuation, I finally threw fear to the wind and have accepted the fact that AOL is now a world premier stock which is a modern day phenomenon. In stead of trying to time the market and jump in and out of these companies I have bought them for the long term and even have some on margin. I think the return to the shareholders on AOL, Dell and Msft will be most rewarding for many years to come. Next month and January of 1999 should be very good this year as they are historically. Soon I am expecting Dell to break out of its several week slump and resume a nice advance. Microsoft is getting ready to explode and I think the justice department should say lets just call an end to all of this and go home. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Best Wishes
Frank
