I think Lindy is lucky so far. He has been jumping in and jumping out MSFT, AOL, and CSCO. Now, he is in QCOM.

Ouch! Am I really that "MO-MO"? Maybe so. I was in Q for 2 years after the IPO, and got out when I was convinced it wasn't going to move. I moved to softie and Intel, and stayed until they slowed down. I then added Dell, Cisco, and AOL from some of my Intel and softie profits. I then jumped back into Q big-time. In between I also played around with a lot of "shiny pebbles" until I learned better.

Was the fact that I have it all in a 401 and a IRA a big factor? You bet is was! I would have moved much less if I were paying taxes. I tried to time Cisco and softie last year, and was an utter failure at it.

This whole thing, to me, has been "earn while you learn" time, and I have been very lucky not to get caught big time. Investing into the greatest bull market in the history of the world certainly helped!

I now intend to stay in Q long term. But I will use my position to play any moves that look good. We have a situation coming up on softy with the DOJ decision that could be a real moneymaker if softy wins. If the press reports the decision as a win for Gates, buy with both hands!!!
