Ah, but envy very rarely if ever drives me. I'll let greed take a hold of me, but I don't envy other people's returns. What I do try and do is study what they do and figure out if I can make it work for me. As far as I can tell, I'd need to put a great deal of faith into the fact that most of the internet stocks will need extremely strong earnings growth. That means that they'll truly be able to become the new retail or entertainment superstores. I just can't convince myself of that. The next step is to trade on the psychology behind the mania. I can't devote enough time to watch them to overcome the risk. Not for me, but I hope you take some profits and buy a V3 or two <grin>. Michael
