I Agree... If you want all that yippee and hoopla, visit the yahoo quotes. The people on this board are just a wee bit more professional, that's all. :) A little bit of it: I still can't believe this is happening. I knew the stock would do well, but not insanely well. Personally I would much rather have preferred it as a long with a nice, steady, healthy increase. Every stock I played like this did eventually crash and burn: DEC (early on No Competition) CSCC (Cascade Communications no competition entering the market. It took 18 months from 1996 to finally crash and burn. Finally bought by ASND). But hey, this is 1999. What do I know! XMAS Decrease: Being in retail myself for 25 years, I can say that Jan Feb time frame is depressed for all retail sales. Online will not escape this. People are maxed out on their credit, taxes are due. Also, despite what anyone tells you, the economy IS slowing. I can see it quite easily. Even the selling prices on ebay have decreased by 20% from 6 months ago, at least from my experience.
