First group are buy and hold stocks, but I do cut back when I feel the stock is going to sit for awhile or want to spend some of the profit. What's the point anyhow of capital gain unless you take it? It's just numbers unless you realize the gain. I used to post a lot on the LU thread, I was almost by myself for awhile, it's just not home like the DELL thread. I haven't found the time to get to know the posters on the CSCO, but there is a lot of noise there, just like AOL was in the hey day of the Motley Fools and YHOO sites now. I don't post as much as use to anyhow.
When I first found SI it was a breath of fresh air, many technical minded investors that I could identify with, that has changed, but the goods ones are still around if you can find them. I have been doing this a long time, at times I feel tapped out so I don't post as much, I started on C-Serve when it was text based and AOL was Joke, I was using a MAC plus at the time.
Things have changed, some good some bad, and now AOL has gone from trying to recreate the net, to having the opportunity of defining the NET. AOL bought C-Serve, now NSCP, and I bet they buy a TV station down the road. Turning the last of the potatoes into net users is the last frontier. <ggg> sorry for the long post.
