just how many got in when msft was at 120 and dell at 60? did they cut their losses by getting out when they dropped around 10%. yet if you look at their respective threads, there are many posters who suggested to hold hold hold.

Paul,
This is true, but it's hard to have a hard and fast rule. It depends on what point in it's growth curve a company is at. For example, I bought CSCO in Dec 97, long after it's major gains had been made. Currently (after the present downturn and after adding to my position in early 99), I'm up 400%. And, I plan to hold CSCO until their fundamental picture changes (which I don't anticipate for a while).
The point is to keep an active eye on your company, and don't fall in love with a stock. However, you also don't have to get in at the beginning to make major gains.
