<<< Every one of those stocks you listed will likely lose 50% or more in the next few weeks>>> You know I feel its best to consider whatever happens to be for the best, as there is no 'going back' to fix it anyway. Jan says we have xxxxx trading profits on that trash in the first three months of 1999 so I could use a bit of tax write-off about now. It mostly the #%^&ed Dell 2000 leaps I bought in 1997 that are killing me. Then there are the msft 2001's that have gone from $7 to $52. And the dlqef's that have doubled, along with 6 strikes of Dell leaps for 2001 of which all but one are up. Aol stock up from 89 to 126, cmgi from 115 to 187, qcom calls from 19 to 32. I gave my poor wife Jan 40 shares of Dell some years ago, so today in the mail she gets an extra 640 bonus from Mikie and has 1280 shares in the attic. Gave 40 to the broker and the same thing happened, now hes got 1280. Donnie says to buy Onsl so I buy 2 calls for 1200 and sell them the next day for 6000. Greg says buy qcom and it goes up like an elevator. When will it stop??? NO. NO. Perhaps you are right- should go back to the old days invest in something that can't appreciate so much-buy gold, let Mr. Buffet worry about taxes and all that paperwork. Maybe join a little commune somewhere out West. Sig
