I think I remember you once saying it yourself, something like going to sleep for two years and waking up rich. I have learned two things from my own experience:
The closer you watch things on a day to day basis the harder it is to stay for the long haul. I never met a floor trader or specialist that was a good long term investor. If Ckfr went to 35 next week, I know I will own less stock. It's hard to resist those temptations when a stock gets " ahead of itself".
The other thing I have noticed about myself, is although I can hold a stock for years, once I break the position and sell a little off, it's only a question of time before the rest seems to get sold.

Benny, if you came and worked for us, you wouldn't have to take a day off to listen to the Ckfr conference call.
