To all:

"So that is why it is so important be kept abreast of holdings in a timely manner."

I couldn't agree more.

As an active investor for nearly 11 years, I have experienced many gains and losses. There are obviously 2 major decisions to be made in the process: the buy side decision and the sell side decision. The reason for putting my hard earned dollars (buying) into any stock is because there is a "story". First someone brings it to your attention. Then it is your responsibility to investigate on your own. Investors and traders both base their buying decison on a story and their subsequent due diligence.

However I have discovered a consistent pattern among people regarding the sell side decision. Traders usually sell because of the latest hearsay or news blurb that crosses the wires. Investors normally sell when a) their investment has reached a predetermined sell target; b) the "story" changes.

Unless I missed something, has the "story" on DCTC and FTEL changed? Or are we all traders and not investors?

Respectfully,

P.S. I am posting this to all three threads.
