Rich,

Great numbers!

However, just for some perspective, here's how you would have done if you had just held the 4 leading blue-chip high-tech stocks during 1998:


Dell 248.5%
Cisco 149.7%
Microsoft 74.4%
Intel 68.8%


and most importantly...

Rambus 110.4%

Putting 1/4 of your money in each of the first four would have netted you a 135.4% return for 1998. Not quite as high as your 168%, but you'd have had 10 more free hours per day (it would have been a year-long vacation! <VBG>).

Dave

p.s. I think there's a genetic difference between traders and buyers-and-holders. I'm not sure which chromosome it's on, but I know it's there.
