<< Now look at it. Trading is great if you have the timing right and are lucky, but staying long is a lot less ulcer-forming :-)>> Agreed.....and the whole thing with AOL is if you were looking to sell high and buy back lower, your capital Gains would be so high, you would have to have one hell of a drop to make it worth while. In the scenario you played out with selling at $160 and I think getting back in at $130, just wouldn't do it for me personally......I just look to hold my AOL and add to it when I can. I really have no idea how long this will continue, and I want as many shares as possible before we slow down on splits. I f we can just keep this up and get 3 more splits before things taper off....I will be a most happy camper !!! Good luck....
