try this on, from thestreet.com article tonight: "There was definitely some profit-taking, definitely some opportunistic selling in Internet stocks as the buyers all blew their wads last week," said Doug Myers, vice president of equity trading at Interstate/Johnson Lane in Atlanta. Myers said a report in the The Wall Street Journal that many discount brokers are raising margin requirements for investors wishing to trade Internet stocks may have been a concern for professional investors. But "I don't know every Mom and Pop is worried about their margin being goosed up," he said. "As long as the stocks are up so much, you still got buying power." yeah, you "still got buying power" if you're not the last one on the momentum bus...last one out, turn out the lights!! david s
