When I buy a stock and then sell it I don't just walk away I like to follow it for months or years to see how it plays out.

To give a few examples I have been following Rambus for many, many years, I made a fortune in the stock a few years ago but still left a lot on the table. Even when I owned the stock I always commented on what I didn't like about the company and was always getting blasted from the other shareholders who of course were sure I was shorting the stock. It seems most shareholders feel if you own a stock you can never say or post anything negative about it. But I like to post whatever I find interesting both positive and negative.

I also still follow SGI which I was once a big investor and took a beating on. I still follow it closely and comment on it regularly.

I hold no trading position in any stock but do have a large IPO position in Goldman Sachs which is a long term holding.

For me selling isn't closing the book, I like to see how the story plays out. Apple is one of the most innovative companies around and until recently always pushed the envelope. The computer industry needs this, but I also don’t own any Apple products and haven’t for years.

Is this difficult to understand?

Best

Don
