Take the profits today and you will lose 28-35% of it in taxes. The real big boys are on vacation today. We had 8 straight days of S&P increases. Yestesday and today mean nothing. Low volume has wild swings, wait for the big volume days to make decisions. Dennis

BTW, I like MSFT, IBM, LU and AOL in 1999. Not in that order

Do what I did. Sold it looking for a profit and bought it back 50 points higher. I USED to do that all the time but had I held, as I'm now doing with DELL and AOL , I'd be much farther ahead. AOL is by far my largest holding and everything I explore leans towards a long hold. Good Luck Craig

>> we should take the profits and run.... << I'm learning a lot here thanks to your candid questions, Annette. I was a bozo this year, selling (at different times) eBay, Amazon, Yahoo and yes, AOL... made a nice profit on a few of them, thinking, yep, I'm pretty smart. DOH! Thing is, none of the other I-Net kings are as solid as AOL when it comes to growth, revenue, etc. Yes, funds can sell off in the new year and hit AOL good. But the funds will also be buying back in, and all those billions have to go somewhere. They'll come to AOL, I think. I'll be waiting for a golden opportunity next week to add more shares. regards paul ps Hope you enjoy the casserole.
