Only one thing - does etrade still have that policy whereby you have to have a certain dollar value to your account otherwise they charge you a quarterly fee?<br><br>I've been using Sharebuilder for quite a while because etrade was charging me those fees, but SB's trading fee is a smidge higher - $15.95...<br><br>

I think I've logged into my etrade account 50 times during the last five days (since buying 10 more shares last week). <br><br>Granted, I'm an obsessive compulsive type on vacation (too much time on my hands), but this sure is a fun ride!<br><br>

"Question is - to sell?"<br><br>NO! I'd risk buying, right now. There's almost NO doubt in my mind the patented technologies Jobs spoke of will be introduced into other products in the next short while. AND, when/if the iPhone proves its performance and stability, dramatic further increases in share prices can be expected. I believe this is only the beginning of radical changes and unthought of innovations from Apple Inc.<br><br>Watch for a stock split in coming weeks.<br><br>- alec -

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>5) Try to keep your logging into etrade down to once a week.<p><hr></blockquote><p>No financial reason. More a mental health reason. I can never go a week but I try. If you log on too much you might start thinking all those green numbers means you have made a lot of money and you are a stock trading genius. That only occurs if you actually sell and make money. Until you pull the trigger on the sell button all you have done is throw 12 dollars away.<br><br>So I log in again and get this:<br><br>The stock has run nearly 15% off of yesterday's low and roughly 27% off late Dec low. Clearly momentum is on its side but Fib extension targets, used by technical traders when no obvious resistance is available for potential profit taking, have been met in recent action today at 97.60/97.77 -- session high 97.80 (click for chart).<br> <br><br>The profit takers are about to clip the wings just a tad. Ah, screw that. Go baby go!!!! MOMENTUM!!!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Watch for a stock split in coming weeks.<br><br>In which case I'll probably just wait for that and buy more.<br><br>
