Vendit,

I also have been talking to some people locally who are on the fence now with a fist full of dollars just waiting. For what I have no idea.

This is the paralysis of those who think that they need to get a bargain (gotta be smart). I tell them (just once!), "What does it matter if you get a dollar or two higher than the low price, if the stock price goes up $40?" I've missed more money on the upside by not buying when I could have than by buying at too high a price. I bought AOL when in was $104 and it dropped almost immediately into the 80s. I held it, it split twice and I'm in at $26. Do I regret not getting a lower price? Yes, but I'd really regret not having bought it at all.

Yeah, so it splits, and is in the 80s, they wait too long and it hops quickly past 100, and then they whine...it's too expensive.......
