"My only suggestion given your great run so far is be prepared to bail on many positions that have been good to you should the market get really ugly for a while."

Thanks, Dale. This is in my mind all the time. I even thought about liquidating it all together. This is very similar to my situation in mid 1997 and as I told you, all the gains were washed out by Oct 1997. The difference is I concentrated on a few stocks then. Furthermore, I am a much more experienced investor now. Learned a lot from this thread and SI.

With the DOW officially in correction, I do have some concern about the market. Having said that, I also feel that when the correction in the DOW is over, the up trend will start and will add fuel to the fire in the small cap area. I think I mentioned here not long ago that I moved my 401k money with a 40% on RUT and 40% on growth, the remaining 20% in International. That has also paid off well.

Anyone watched CNBC Business Center Friday night? It featured MMM with a 2 minute coverage. Very upbeat note. The analyst concluded by saying that it will hit new record high in the next couple months. I am very comfortable sitting on some April calls. I might add some 110 calls on Monday.
