Dave, You've only suffered a 9.43% decline(maybe more if you're on margin). Still, if you've been trading for several years and never suffered 10 or 20 percent declines, you probably haven't invested in the technology sector. With AOL's high return potential comes some volatility, it's extremely rare to have a very high relative strength stock that isn't volatile. Compared to some internet stocks, AOLs price action is placid. Why did you buy AOL in the first place? If the fundamentals are still intact, why worry about the temporary decline? Tonight, we are sitting at the bottom of the Bollinger Band. An ascent to new highs should start tomorrow. If you find occasional 10-20% declines extremely difficult to bear, there's always CDs.
