General comment/questionHi:
I expected a correction in the market (a lot of "experts" were callingfor it so that alone almost insures it, though it seemed a correct callbased on the fundamentals). Unfortunately I did not bail in time so Iam under, though not a lot on several stocks. I know based on my pastthat makes it difficult to sell, who wants to take a loss, though thatis often the best position, ie. take a small loss rather than a bigone. However, if it is just not this tendency to not take a loss, butsomething else I am noticing, then I may not want to sell. I amnoticing that there is not as much selling as I thought there would be.And though the bid is low, the ask is staying higher (or there is alarge spread) so that the little, comparatively selling would make itdifficult to buy back in if I wanted to. Maybe another landslide iscoming. But I wonder if it is going to be like the last major declinein the markets in the precious metals. It is not directly related, butI am buying silver coins on Ebay and finding that people are now payingquite a premium in most cases for the metal. Just a few weeks back Icould get it for the market value of the metal minus the shipping costs.
I will not base my decisions entirely on any responses here, but itseems like a good idea to gauge the sentiment of the people here, ifany are willing. Are you out of the market, or getting out? Or are yougoing to hold on and see the reaction in the precious metals stocks. Iam out of everything but them.
