Hey happy girl, my math shows that you should be quite pleased with the times you have gotten out. If you would have stayed long, you would have a 168 point gain in total (236 minus 68 per share). By getting out in strength and back in during weakness, you made 102 points the first time, 102 points the second time, and you now have a small gain on your current position. Total of somewhere between 204-230ish. Not bad. Just think if you had dumped the current load at 285. Don't regret selling if you get in at a lower price later.

This assumes the lot sizes were always the same.

Actually, I've been thinking about my plans of action for some of my stocks, and decided to hold on to my Yahoo stock.

Now, there are times with my AOL stock that I was dying to bail out,
like during the September/October correction. And now I'm damn glad I didn't because it's up like 200% since then!

So, there may be some dips in the price ahead, but of all the internet stocks, I put Yahoo as one of the top three. The top dog in my book is AOL, and I can't decide between Yahoo or Amazon as being second. Yahoo is the top portal, but Amazon actually sells something. I've regrettably never held AMZN, except for some ill advised put options about a year ago (as you can imagine, with disastrous results). Looking forward to next week, and seeing what the market will do.
