Lou D, I hear ya! I did the same thing as you in mid January during the market correction, in and out few times, guess what? I am now held 500 few AOL shares! and paying capital gain to the teeth too! I have learned from this stock, don't fight 'her' (I believe AOL is a SHE, only female can cause so much damage to my faith! <G>) Your lesson plus mine should lend a tale to all weak AOL hands, it doesn't pay to go in and out on AOL, it pays to stay long until internet becomes a boring business like PC ! (sorry, all DELL and CPQ holders)

<From this point on, I will only sell if the fundamentals change or bad news or if I don't believe in the company any longer. I am now real long and strong waiting for earnings to come out. I am happy it only cost me $2,000 to get back in. .......LD> Lou, you're not the only one to do exactly the same thing. I put stop limit on at 140 thinking it would only be hit in a catastrophe. I got back in at 143 3/4, so I've got you beat. This is my second mistake setting disaster limits on stocks when they show more volatility than normal. I'm back now and won't make that mistake again! (maybe)
