LONG TERM NOT DAY TO DAY.....

You can't micromanage an investment like ATHM. The swings are expected and the timing is
anything but predictable. If you bought the stock and believe in it, come back and check on it in a
year.....bet it'll be worth more than it is today.

I keep abreast daily of what is going on fundamentally with all my investments, but I don't try to
time and I refuse to panic when there is a small dip.

Just 2 months ago we ran to around $130 only to be knocked back down under $100. Guess
what...it came back. So this time it flirted with $200....came back down and will be ready for the
next step up .

If the people who bought AOL in 1993 went into panic and sold everytime AOL got clobbered
they missed out on a tremendous return. Those who held, held, held, might have had some real
stomach turning days in the process but guess what.....
THEY ARE MILLIONAIRES NOW!!

Stop trying to become a millionaire in a day or a month...it won't happen. Big money is rarely
easy money. The process many are going through right now as long investors here is the price paid
for the ultimate reward.

Take the entire experience and view each step as a learning process....one which will give you ever
greater insight into investing.

Gang- This week is a perfect example why they say to have "cash" in your portfolio. Of course I don't have any! I am fully invested! Shouldn't have purchased those original paintings over the weekend!!!! Instead, I should have loaded up with some more ATHM and other great deals! I truly felt like a kid in a candy shop with EMPTY POCKETS!!!!

I am glad so many of you added during this GREAT buying opportunity. Glad to have you back in, Ron!

Good luck to all!
