Hello billwot. Hope you got Csco when it was down. It ended up over 4 as you well know. Do you already have AOL? I was not desperate getting AOL since I have almost 600 in my IRA and more in reg. accounts. I bought 150 sh. of INSP into my IRA at 140. It turns out a bit early. Could have gotten in around 135. I made all my trades before the market tanked. Hm. But I could not see money sitting around idle in my IRA. I sold some of my PFE to get INSP. I bought Marimba and paid for the trading costs and bought Amzn at 170. So I am ahead 2 out of 3. I take this batting average. I looked at PCLN but left it on the table. Sigh. I am thinking about weeding out a cpl of small internet stocks on Monday and will then wait for another pull back before buying more stuff. Marimba was up a lot on the first day of trading so it may get hit. I will buy more then. I only bought 1oo sh. at 60. I was chicken when the stock was up 200%. But I told myself last year that I would buy in on the first day. I guess it was better getting it at 60 than 66. It actually went up to over 65 after I bought it. But profit taking set in. I am sure glad this week is over and I will def. take a rest from SI this weekend. Have a nice one. I think the European markets are closed on Monday for May Day. Should be interesting over here.
