I just don't get it. Why would anybody buy an internet stock after the Nasdaq has just jumped 75% in four months to bizarre levels of record high valuation, knowing all along that the probabilities favor losing money on such a speculative decision at such an unfavorable time marketwise. Let me congratulate those here who do not participate in such folly. Far better to simply write a check to your favorite charity than to hand over the money to another seller of overpriced internet shares. Oh well, like they say, easy come easy go. The worst way to invest for sure is to force a trade into an overpriced stock or group.

But tell us in detail, if you will, what the experience was like..... Well... it feels much like buying Lam at $12 then $10 and sort of hoping in agony it would hit $8 before it bottomed. I just missed that last target at it only went to $8 3/8... This stock.... It has the $6 to $4 move down now I just hope it does the rest according to plan! 8) To all, it is well under 1% of my portfolio so I feel a good risk is fine as long as I don't have several playing out at the same time. regards Kirk out
