Paul,
I'm not persuaded by a 100 day chart reminding me of what the last three months have been like. How about running the same chart with a 10 year time frame? I'll not bore you with it, but suggest you might find it useful should you decided to call it up for yourself.
Is this typical - G&K stocks mostly rise and fall together?
Sure. Tell me, do financial stocks mostly rise and fall together? How about health care stocks? When retail goes south, do most stock react in lock-step?
So I sometimes buy stocks I'm uncomfortable with (like GMSTR or WIND), and I sometimes hold 'em for an uncomfortably long time (like SUNW).
Aha! Now that's something I absolutely don't do. As a result of reading a certain FM, relating it to my own career experience, and keeping up with a certain thread with 35,000 posts, plus my own limited attempts at indepth dd, I can say I am comfortable with all my stock purchases.
You see none of this that I am seeing, (is that correct?), so perhaps I am totally wrong and therefore completely misunderstanding the situation.
Yes, no, and yes. I see experienced and inexperienced investors relating differently to the last 100 days, depending upon such variables as their entry point and their use of margin and their trading rates. No, I would not label anyone totally anything. Yes, I definitely do feel you are misunderstanding this thread, and that's too bad, because for the most part, we're a pretty open minded, open arms group of GG drummers.
Most of us absolutely know we're in the right church...for us. Probably isn't for you.
Respectfully, Chaz |
