You should sell because your state of mind shows anger. Anger comes from frustration from failing to obtain the objects of desire. That is the wrong mental state because it shows you that you have to get this money. That's greed. You never should be under such coercion. I am not generating this "had" state, but I am bringing to the surface what is in you. You're not mad at me, rather you're mad at the market because you can see trouble and jumping out could mean missing the big dough. It is this kind of thinking that kills the amateur. When you feel it, get out of risk bearing investment vehicles. Your automatic systems are alerting you of trouble. The question is how strong is ignorance and greed and how critical is it that you make the killing now. In any case you're stressed and that is no way to be invested.

Raymond, I like your idea. Just skim the posts for worthwhile facts. I don't agree that you should sell. When you bought it you knew it was good and it still is. ATHM is a great long term stock. I listen for real reasons to buy or sell but most of what I hear is just emotional hype up or down. After T takes control of TCI (very soon) we may have some major decisions made and information to digest. I have to tell you my experience with AMZN. I kind of agree with the comments made by many that you should own some shares of the largest of the players in different areas of internet stocks. I read up on AMZN, liked what they were doing, and decided I wanted to buy a small amount of the stock in the middle of last year. So I went to the thread. It was full of blistering negative talk. Because AMZN is in a building out phase and such a new stock there were no good ways to analyze it. Anyhow, the hype was too much and I chickened. Naturally, the stock went up. I went back later and the same thing happened. I went back the third time and finally asked myself: "Why am I listening to a lot of negative hype when there is no concrete proof this stock will go up or down? I like the business and their position so just buy some, hold it for the long term, and ignore the hype as much as possible." That was a good decision for me. I seldom go there and when I do, I just skim the comments looking for meaningful content and usually reading very few posts.
