Today was a day I will not soon forget...Set my alarm early so I could wire money from savings account to my broker this morning to cover a purchase of say $20K worth of SILK. Thought better of it..and figured I would wait till SILK opened...see which way it was going then maybe sell a part of my CMGI stock..maybe even all of it. SILK opened and dropped...I froze...didn't sell my CMGI...and watched as it bounced off the $16 bottom..and closed at $35. With 427 shares of CMGI..I COULD have made about $100K in just 4 hours....and then put it right back in CMGI before the market closed today. I'm sure this happens to people all the time...it's just, that for me this would have been a very significant profit (for me that is..) and I let it pass on by.... I'll just hang onto my CMGI and see what the future has in store... there's always tomorrow! Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda.... 8-) -mike-
