rewhat reason did you subscribe to that service and what reasons did they give to get out? You didn't also ask "Why didn't you heed?" Let's see those are good questions and if I can think it through I may find out more about my investing smarts and stupids. I subscribed because I was uneasy about the gains I had: over 400% last year. I loved them but knew in my heart they were unrealistic. Their reasons for "get out" were simple and clear: the market is overvalued and interst rates are rising: be careful, be careful and finally get out, go short or at least write puts. Now why didn't I listen? Just emotion I suppose: like I did with Dell, I am over 50% Qcom (at that point with Qcom at 146 I was probably over 60% Qcom) and I thought I was an investor. Now I know I really simply want to make money in the market. And keep it. And quit working for someone else. It doesn't really matter what stocks I hold. What other line of thinking can I go along that might help? Because at this point, down 50% I still have a double from last year and am seriously thinking of going all cash. But it seems "silly to sell this low" but I said that at 146 too. Hmmmm. Freeus
