COVER STORY Why You Shouldn't Sell in a Panic -- Smart-money players are waiting to scoop up your shares at a bargain price. Don't let them make a fool of you. -- Recent experience is that markets usually snap back within a week or so after a sharp sell-off. If you sell in the downdraft, you may wind up buying your stock back at a higher price. -- If you sell a position that has a gain, you'll have to shell out money to pay taxes--money that would otherwise be earning you more in the future. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _					RELATED ITEMS Is the Party Over?
