On the dangers of giving up too soon on a well researched buy & hold.
I took a fairly large position on Applied Materials (AMAT) last year.
and watched as the value sank, started to move up on expectations of a good quarter, the plunded on pessimistic comments in an otherwise great report. I finally decided to cut my losses at $35 (May 96?), knowing that it was a company with great long term growth, and extreamly undervalued (had a PE of 9 then). Lesson for me is that if your sure you;ve done a good job of research, don't let your gut churning churn your portfolio too soon (AMAT was $52 last time I checked) Scott
