Donald, You said: <<So that's my thinking, and any experienced trader reading this line of thought is probably irritated, but relieved....... i.e., irritated in that it shows my ignorance, but relieved in that they can sleep better knowing that there will continue to be a source of money for those who understand buying AND selling of stocks!>>
If, then, you have shown your ignorance, you have shown mine. I too have about decided that a plunge into all three is the best answer. I tend to favor Seagate and Quantum, believing that ultimately the fulcrum in this market resides in the heads and media. While W-D has media I don't believe it is performing all that well. But W-D has done some remarkable things in its history and is an extremely well managed company with a top knotch marketing department. So, I will likely take a position with W-D as well, though I have not bought any of these yet, having been out of the DD sector since last May. Best, Stitch |
