Freeus, Your right, when visiting family one should not think of stocks and money! But when the visitors are boring, you may allow your mind travel, as long as you keep smiling and nodding your head!GG.
Now, lets say you have cpq, msft, intc, csco,sgp. These are quality stocks, but if you can not manage to hold on to all of them, then, sell lets say INTC and SGP that combined have given you 150% return in two years. Keep CSCO, MSFT and CPQ that you bought recently on which you have loose! I have never shorted an stock in the past becasue I bought quality and I invested the money I didn't need immidately. Therfore, I coulf wait.
Freeus, if you own qulity stocks and you don't nee the money, then maybe you should wait. As nasty as the stock market looks now, comes Spring, you maybe gald you kept them! I hope whatever you do will be the right thing and in the meanwhile I wish you a Merry Chirstmas, Happy Hanukkah and a successful 1998.
