Sure, the chart you posted proves it. AMAT had much greater peaks and valleys over that time period than GE or WMT. It would have been far more profitable to trade those peaks and valleys than to hold, even though AMAT beats them over that time period. At the very least, you would have saved yourself a bunch of stress. GE and WMT were relatively more stable, thus an easier hold for that time period. What kind of investor could look at the SOX being over 1,000 in 2000 and the ratios those stocks were going for and saying, "there's a lot more upside to be had"? Granted those were insane times, but its going to take quite a long time for the SOX to get back to that level. What do you say to someone who bought AMAT at $50 and is sitting on a huge loss right now. You know that there are people and money managers in that very position now. Timing IS everything. I'm of the opinion that no stock is worth buying and locking away the certificates forever, I'm a trader not a holder, so that's my view of the world. A-M-S
