Mindmeld - - no I did NOT sell. I just looked at the quote on EBAY and I see it's now down to 212 - - much lower than where I was considering selling. However, I decided not to sell, because of an experience I had with AOL about 3(or so)years ago. I got nervous and I sold 800 shares of AOL at $24 (it slid down from 90). I thought I was being rational because they had no earnings, were (at that time) getting bad press and the stock was volatile. After I sold, AOL went up to 150 three different times AND split 3 different times. Had I not panicked and held, I'd have 2400 shares now and a lot of money. So I'm just gonna stay put. Thanks for your feedback.
