Frank, I think it is time for you to go back and read your intro to this thread. You were on to something then. Regards, Bill

Hello Frank. Just got in and glanced at MY Yahoo. Wow. Major disaster. But doomsday it is not. A lot of those gurus have cut back or are practically out of the market and are waiting to get in lower so they can ride the market up and make some money for their customers. A lot of those clients have lost money by those gurus being out of the market. Just look at some of those funds that have been in and out of the market last year. My Janus Twenty was up over 70% last year and my capital gains are not even worth mentioning. Meaning: They stayed invested in the market. Those brokerage houses who advice their clients to jump in and out of the market have done pretty poorly last year. But with the market having advanced greatly they seem to have more luck with their doomsday predictions. I never did understand that if the market is high why they are calling for selling. Why not sit still and wait until the stocks move again? But no, selling and then buying in lower does the trick for them. They do not have to pay the taxes we do and then there are those commissions of course. Maybe the market will look better later today. It did yesterday. Again: At least you parted with some of your AOL. Techs are the pits today. Sonny

Frank, I believe that you did a very good thing in getting rid of your margin. You are too accurate with your doom and gloom predictions - maybe you ought to consider a new career as a stock analyst! (no, just kidding!) This February has been incredibly volatile. After January, I thought that this year would be unbelievable. February has been the month of wild swings. I just can't see buying any stock when things are jumping around like this - perhaps day-traders can benefit. -musea
