Yaacov- Maybe it's the sulphur they put on the grapes. Anytime you have money in an equity, you're 'depriving yourself of cash'. Conversely, when you have cash, you're depriving yourself of equity. --- I, and others here are up like x20 with SUNW over 4 years. If we would have not rigidly 'stuck to dogma' and sold every 10-30% and tried timing back in on dips, we would be nowhere *near those gains. --- Charles has a great knack for picking SUNW entry points; for averaging in. Charles, though wouldn't be up even half what he is now by timing out and in. I don't think he'd even be up x5 (25% of ltb&h return). And *that doesn't even speak to TAXES! --- You are fortunate to not have to pay taxes on your gains. We (the IMF patrons <g>), have to pay TAXES on gains. --- You may have done better than ltb&h since July. It's a sure bet that you won't come close to that return in *any term resembling 'the long run'. -JCJ
