Fellow NTAP investors,
These are trying times for those of us who look at NTAP stock quotes, even if we are long-term. It is inevitable, at least for me, to think "ahh, I could've just sold a little at 140" or, even worse, to think "what if it never comes back from here."
I'd like to ask for some help, in the way of oral history that may be comforting to us in these difficult times.
I imagine that some of you may be mature, experienced, or, let's just be blunt here, old enough to have invested in CSCO back in the early days (it IPO'd in what, 1991?). I invested in Cisco in the mid-90s, but before that, I was flustered by that darn have-to-be-18-to-get-a-brokerage-account rule. :-) Thus no early-days CSCO for me.
Consonant with my belief that NTAP resembles the CSCO of today, I'd like to ask some of you to tell stories about big valuation reductions, stock price drops, negative analyst comments, cries of "overvalued!" and the like... when CSCO was still due for (if you had a crystal ball back then) 1,000%+ appreciation.
It might be fun to also read the CSCO thread on SI from years and years ago -- that archival feature sure is great.
Let's open the discussion. Best regards to all. |
