I think the sinking is over, but that's what I said last night. I'm normally not afraid during sharp declines, but today's action rattled me. I'm staying long because I believe in the fundamentals. Although I get nervous, I don't sell during sharp selloffs. I'd like to poll some of the sellers to see what goes through their minds when they sell AOL thirty points from the high. Perhaps fear and emotion overcomes the thought process and they can't take it anymore. Did anyone notice who was selling today? Large institutions, small trades or combinations of both?
