No, I had my last panic last August 31st. I will not do that again, I felt awful for weeks and weeks afterward.


Freeus,
I did the same thing last Aug 31. I sold at least half of my portfolio in a panic (I had just returned from overseas and was extremely jetlagged). I also felt horrible for days, but started buying back in. Today, I checked my old pre-Aug 31 portfolio against my new revised one...guess what? I'm up 161k over the old portfolio! So there was a silver lining even to that "bad" decision. However, I felt the same impulse this past Monday and because of my experience did not sell. (However, I resisted the impulse to buy, also...and I was seriously thinking of buying some more QCOM!)
