CG: (OT) I know how you feel. I keep hearing you talk about withering accounts and I think of myself (especially what happened when I discovered the penny stock investment vehicle). I have no where near the assets that you started with, nor did I ever, but I feel the pain just the same. I have bought high and sold low on so many occassions I can't tell you. I have no idea why except that I am easily rattled. My friends call me Mush from the movie "A Bronx Tale" (a characater that is a huge jinx). We have a running joke that my friends sell whenever I enter a stock that they own because bad news is sure to follow. NO MORE!!!!! I am in AOL for the long haul no matter what happens. If this thing tanks to $40 on Monday I can assure you I will be holding every share. If this thing rockets to $500 on Monday I can assure the same. Everything I hear leads me to believe that we own shares in a wonderful company. This stock will only get better with time. There is no other company out there with the potential/fundamentals/characteristic/following of AOL. I REPEAT, there is no other company out there with the potential/fundamentals/characteristic/following of AOL. This opinion will draw some flak from others, but only because the truth hurts. I will not tell you to hang on to your stock or not, because that must be your decision, but I will tell you that right now you own the best company the world has to offer. Congratulations! To Never Never Land, Sam

CG, I don't think you have had bad luck. The stock market has been manipulated to the extreme. The urge to sell at the bottom is only human nature. The way I overcome the fear is to pull out its 5 year chart. If the company's fundamental has not changed, the stock will recover and rise to new high just like it did in its past corrections. Diversification is also helpful. It lowers the risk and therefore lowers the level of fear. Buying high is not a problem for a quality growth stock while selling low is a problem. JMHO. Good luck.

CGarcia: Some folks have a tough time coping with the price volatility of these inets. These stocks are not for the faint of heart; firmly fixating on the long term big picture works best. Another approach is a more conservative investment: an index fund or even cd's. You may want to think about it, as no one should be losing money in a bull market like this.
