The crows thing is just a ongoing joke in which I make fun of the cryptic and egotistical Victoria Gate, MD, and her looney tunes incoherent posts, one of which said Dell "not the same." I am not out of Dell. I am holding patiently. I sold one half my AOL at about 150. I had paid 40 for some of it and 105 for the rest. I had some carry forward losses from a previous year to use against the short term gains of this year to minimize the tax bite. If as I think AOL goes down Monday. I will buy back in in the 120s or 130s. This may not happen of course. If AOL is not marked down, and starts going up again I'll buy some then, too. THen I will hold it long term. (No carry forward losses left) Of course I would sell if I saw an Internet crash coming. You dont want to let tax issues determine when to sell. jkhg
