Lindy: Thanks for running your losers by us. I hope that during the period you've reported that you also had some winners to offset those setbacks. Yeah, I will discuss the winners when I hit my goal this year. Were there signals you might have foreseen before buying the stock, and what were they? The consistent earnings were not there. I bought because I loved the product. I was new to the game. E-Toy will make some sales, but not with big-name, high demand toys...at least not as the market is structured now. These "dot coms" really get me. What are they? Retail catalog sales companies that are not making money. The people buying them would not even look at them if they were not on line. They are all "greater fool" buys, IMO. Good speculations, if you play that game. AOL is one of the "branchs" of the tree, and I made the best bucks I have made on any stock until Qualcomm with it. But it is not a retail "dot com" The same would hold for Yahoo and Excite, and other portals, but people buying Amazon, and others like it, are really "riding the tiger", IMO
