Hi Wiz, Thanks for your thoughts, You make it sound easier than it really is :-) the difference as to how rewarding that strategy will be depends largely upon which stocks are chosen and at what stage in their lifecyle the investments are made True, but that's timing the market?? isn't it. Lately I've been looking at some compaines that are just becoming public (or haven't been long) and others that are on their 52 week lows for unjustified reasons. I guess I'm concentating on "Value" stocks. Aren't their stocks or industries that will always perform in the long term? large established compaines we all like to put our money into MSFT, INTC, JNJ ... etc Sir John Templeton agrees that it may be time to sell one stock when it becomes so extremely overvalued that it is irresistable to take some profits and invest those in other highly compelling undervalued situations. Great explanation for when a stock is "fully valued" and its time to sell it. I haven't been able to get a strait answer from anyone about this, I think the irresistable point is variable with each person. Then there's always the tax man when you sell, that also needs to be considered. I see you also like asset allocations, following the smart money and rotating investments. That also requires a bit of timing of the market because you need to get in when the wave is just starting. I agree Vigilance is your best if not only defense, but time and patience is also a factor. I don't think its such a wise idea to be complacent about your investments and just forget about them, at least not for me. I still love the story Yaacov told about his friend who invested 500k in 72 and it's now worth 20 mil. That person had alot more patience and will power than I do. <G> Regards Ann
