ANAT: Timing is everything, apparently. And on some stocks, my timing is way off. Good timing for you if you bought MET in May: finance.yahoo.com Not such good timing if someone llong-term bought and held life insurer ANAT since 2001 (as I did): finance.yahoo.com I've made my first ANAT sales that I can remember today. (Reduced position to a stub holding.) No overall capital gain to speak of after 11 years of sticking with it. Otoh, no real substantial losses either, and I did get the good dividend every year. Just... enough is enough. I'll call it a value trap and move mostly aside. (Stock might do well if controlling shareholder ever retires.) Meanwhile I still have all my shares of same family-controlled stock, NWLI. Not sure what I'll do with this one.
