Catcher, I understand your feeling, I have been there many times,
it is the 'mind' and the mouse did the trick.

I have lost 500 shares of AOL by playing in-and-outs of AOL to date!
thought I can time the market, thought I can get more shares at the end. Even though I am 50% up since 1/1/99 but I could be 70% up if
I just sit here watch AOL since 1/1/99 (Sometimes, I hate the
web trade, it makes life to impulsive!)

My lesson: Do not bet against AOL! AOL may not as exciting as YHOO, CMGI, AMZN, EBAY which swing from left to right in prices but it rises steadily, it is like the race between
the turtle and the rabbit, guess what? TURTLE WON!

AOL the McDonalds of the internet, yeah, good analogy. Been away on a business trip, and did not even check the price, nice surprise I had when I got back. I think the best thing to do with AOL is to do nothing, just let it ride and look at it every month or so....
