Sorry man, I can't list that many stocks! I gotta keep that information to myself for the sake of keeping my sanity and to avoid embarrassment.

After dabbling quite a bit in 1999, I stayed out of the market in 2000. Probably a good thing!

The only stock that I hold at the moment is QCOM. I made tons of money on it last year, but it's down to a third of it's high last year. Fortunately, my employee purchase price is still pretty low on most of it and I haven't lost money on any of it.

If it could just get back to where it was on 1/3/00, I could retire in a couple of years!

My worst was something called FLASHNET (FLAS).

I bought it for $30 and ended up selling it late this year for about $1. (it was bought out by prodigy, in the middle..etc.....)

How about priceline... high of $104, now $2.

WE didn't hear your worst Charlie?

My dad's portfolio has dropped approx $200k since mid '00. He never shared how much he was worth with me, but he is still eating, so he must have some more $ somewhere.

Glad I bought the Stook in 99'

On the flip side I have gone heavy in Tele-Com stocks at the end of 2000, Go WCOM
