Chuzzlewit,

If TA is nonsense, and you are going to uy and hold for ten years, why even be on the thread? It makes no sense.

I am not a big TA believer either, but I guarantee you that anybody who has watched this stock for a year or two knows that you will make a lot more money on this stock by trading the volatility than by buying and holding. Unfortunately, I have not taken the bait since April, because I have been nailed on the short side with this stock. But this stock is notorious for trading in a 3-6 point range, with almost anyone being able tp pick these off. They have 5 swings since April between 42 and 48.

There is nothing wrong with buy and hold. But if somebody dropped this absolute dog to buy something else for the time being, and then come back to this one, they should not be criticized. And they would have a superb chance of beating your return for that money.

This is disappointing. At least GJD is giving us something to ponder. Whether it's right or wrong is for each of us to decide, not dismissed categorically.
