it all depends on the time frame, Diamond. one looks stupid holding EGRP in august 1999, but like a genius in 2002. it's the time frame. some people forget the meaning of "investing" and the meaning of "long term". should i buy MER, MWD, JPM, because they are "cheaper" on a valuation basis? it's EGRP that i like, not them! in a similar fashion, should i buy CPQ instead of DELL, because it's "cheaper"? buy the companies you like, whose products you use, and forget about them. hey, i daytrade too, it's fun, but never touch my core portfolio.
