My experience has been that the market usually shows it's true face around 2 PM EST, at this point the stocks settle down, this is also right after lunch. I have seen on up days this is when the stock is already too expensive and on down days, it is better if you didn't buy it yet. I think AOL will slide down and be around 150 at this point if not lower. ONE SHOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING AT THE OPEN SOME EXCEPTIONS BUT 98% OF TIME DON'T

re "Should I buy at the open or wait about 2 hours or so." Not at the open. Like your shopping list, though. Why not a good till canceled order (before the open) for CMGI at 170 and MSFT somewhere in the high 80s? You might get lucky and catch an intraday low on Monday or Tuesday. I doubt that CMGI will drop that much that quickly, but if it does you will have stolen it, and that's fun. If you set the price, you don't have to worry about the time. Just like buying a car -- if you have to have it today, you probably will pay too much for it -- but if you set your price and shop around until someone matches it, you'll get a deal (or walk). It doesn't much matter what price you pay for MSFT or CSCO, though -- nice that you may be able to get them on sale tomorrow. You have the right idea -- most people will just run. Bravo!
