You know you're not a good investor when you start trading 5 yrs ago with $35,000 for stocks, and $2,500 in an IRA, and now 5 yrs later your IRA is worth more than your stocks...Yes folks, I couldn't pick the winner of a one horse race...well I could, but he'd probably break his leg before crossing the finish! Here's hoping everyone's luck is better than mine has been!

But if you get the $1000,000 for your stock, you would have a million dollars. Since you hex all your assets, it is reasonable to assume that your 1 million dollars would also depreciate(economists call that phenomena hyperinflation). Hyperinflation would cause the whole stock market(not just aol) to crash(and cause lots of misery except to Gold bugs). Now, we hate gold bugs and wish them no good. Therefore I think we are best off if you held on to your 10 shares while we move on to other companies...
