I know what you mean... I don't know, but this freaks me out man... I just bailed at $22. I know, me, the long term holder. I can't believe it, but this is a scared sh#$% move, errrrr, I mean a technical move. I really am flying by the seat of my pants on this one. I hope to be able to re-enter in the teens.... I could be the laughing stock, however. Rex ($22)

Don, You are scaring me, too. I hope I don't have to collect soda cans to scrape up enough cash to go to the annual shareholder's meeting. Ausdauer

Please ditto that for me double. I just got back from the hospital with the new baby and wife. I thought I would check on little Johnny's inheritence. I almost dropped him on his head when I saw the 17. (fortunately, I had set him down to use the keyboard). I got out at 22 3/8. This sucks to put it mildly. Is this some MM or shorts manipulation on us longs or is there some real news somewhere? Fidelity perhaps started getting out back at 37? Fuddge. Kevin 23

Don, does your story have to do with missing the dip, or the fact that the stock was down? I got spanked by Ameritrade trying to sell my TSM to buy SNDK. After selling TSM, I put a limit to buy SNDK at 17.5. After it looked like it wasn't going to fill, I changed it to a market order around 19.5. By the time the change finally went through, it was 20.25. :( Clearly it would have been better to take the risk to place a new order than to use "change" and wait for the confirmation. Unfortunately, there is no way to back out of that once you initiate. Then the stock went south for a bit, compounding my pissed offedness, but everything worked out nicely in the end! Steve 23 1/4
