I agree with your logic, but where were you when WDC, STX, and MXO were trading at multi-year lows?>>

Nice job of getting into those.

There is post on the Dell thread saying exactly what I owned in November. Which is good way to keep records.

69% in my two good stocks, which I dont care to list here, and 31 % in dividend payers at about 8%.

It would have worked OK if i had kept the dividend payers, but they were also volatile and should have been bought at a lower price than I paid.
As you pointed out.....

So the error I made was to buy them all in a 3 week period,
which means some were not at a low.

More patience would help , but I am mostly a trader now, generally not aiming to buy and hold.

Am practicing buying cheap(g)
