ahh, gotcha...my fault. Yes, just hold AOL and forget about it, except of course when you are adding to your position. As far as taking a loss on eggs and making it up on AOL...nobody likes to take a loss. But you have to look at the future, not the past. If you feel good about the company you are down on, then maybe you stay in....but the worst thing to do is to hold, simply because you are showing a loss and want to make it up. The bottom line is it does not matter what stock a, b, c, d or e, did yesterday, but what you feel they will do today or tomorrow. Take stock a and stock b. If you think stock b will outperform stock a, then why keep your money in a stock you feel will underperform something else....unless, you feel really good about both companies and are trying to remain diversified. If you don't feel good about EGGS, you need to bail, and put your money into something you feel will perform. As far as where to put the money....well, thats anybodies guess. DELL has just recently started to move again after a nice flat period. I have some DELL, and plan on never selling it. Same with AOL, only I feel AOL will outperform DELL for the next year or more, so I personally am sitting pat with DELL..not selling or buying, and adding to my AOL position when funds allow me to do so. I wouldn't worry about Compaq too much...as far as DELL goes. Compaq could be a good buy at current levels, but as far as DELL goes....well, DELL is simply in a class by itself, and nothing Compaq does is going to effect the big picture with DELL. Good luck. KG
