lib,

1. Yes, there are people who look for down-beaten stocks. There are two types, however: Those who purchase on the simple belief that ‘what goes down must go up.' The others are people who purchase only down-beaten stocks in well-managed companies with revenues and earnings growth over, say 15% or higher. The former throw darts at a receding target. The latter, are aiming at targets others have over looked or, hopefully in the case of YF.A, become unreasonably fearful of.

2. I do not know if "long term" is considered three years. My personal definition of long term is: Hold as long as the company is well managed and has prospects for continued strong revenue and earnings growth. That means I might hold a position in a company indefinitely. I sure would not sell just because the stock price had gone up. (Well, if I was in my right mind I wouldn't. Sadly, I have not always been in my right mind. )

Ciao
David Todtman
