I agree that fear is a motivator..so is greed.These threads are great to read and I learn from some of them.My philosophy is different. Take strong long positions on leaders,csco,brcm,emc aol etc. The equity buildup is so strong I can "Fire and Forget".I am not a day trader,only make 3-5 trades a year. About 25%,of portfolio is out there looking for the next Juniper Networks so I can put them in the "Fire & Forget" box behind the ice cubes in the freezer.
My primary motivator with this technique,is that I HATE Capital Gains Tax!It should be outlawed,it's double taxation.The first Presidential candidate that says they are going to due away with Capital Gains gets my $$ and support!
By the way, I made the same mistake you did on Ascend Communications when Lucent announced they were going to purchase,I left $20.00 per share on the table!
