I think that everyone forgot to ask Gregg an important question: Will the monitor be unplugged or plugged in when you introduce it to your gullet?

Someone once told me something about Las Vegas that I think applies here. They said something to the affect of, take only the money that you can lose. Leave your credit cards, ATM and check book here. Once you get there you will be enthralled enough that you may want to overspend, just remember to take the money that you can lose.

Stocks in my opinion are a lot like 'Vegas. You only put the money that you can afford to lose into stocks. If you hit bonus, if not then save and try again. There are very few people that will make a living here and many that will end up road kill run down by those that do make their money. Everyone here should be spread out in many different stocks, some high risk like QCOM some stable like Utilities or something. The ratios that you work out for the amounts that you have in each is up to you and whomever you sleep next to. If your ratios are wrong, neither of you will get much sleep because of your tossing and fretting. If you go for the pure QCOM play more power to you, but I wouldn't expect too much solid sleep until next year sometime!

I realize that some will take umbrage at this but hell, were all just dabbling really. It is the people like Gregg and the pension fund managers that really have the power! Where their money goes so goes the market.
