euterpe1 - Your 100% right. I still have 100 shares of QID I bought in 2009 when someone said the SPX was going to 400.
Of course in 2009 I had 500 shares of QID, then the reverse split reduced them to 100. I keep them as a reminder. I will probably sell them before the end of the year and get a tax write off.
