RE: I prefer shares that I can hold for 3-5 years without trading and Borland does not fall in that category.

RE: there is a difference between a long term investment that does not need to be followed daily and appreciates with time, e.g. DELL, MSFT, IBM, T

Duh!

You are comparing a company that is in a turnaound situation to something like DELL or IBM. Heck even with IBM go back 5 years and see what happened when they brought Gerstner in. They were in a turnound situation then.

The companies you list are also MUCH BIGGER - generally this dampens volatility.

If you want steady growers don't buy tiny companies in a turnaround situation - you have 2 strikes against you. Without valium, 3 strikes and you are out.
