Paul,
It's good to loose money! Look what it has done to me: It has built character and made me Humble.
I recall losses on IDTI, CRUS, MU, AMAT and many others. It makes you robust and ready to take on the world with stocks like INTC, MSFT, CSCO, DELL, SAP, QWST, RMBS, VTSS, LU, ASND etc. Did I miss any long term winners? If so, help me out.
My criteria for winning is to buy stocks that on the 5 year chart outperforms HWP (Hewlett Packard). This stock gives my borderline criteria of stock performance below which I seldom will go when adding a new stock to my portfolio. For comparing stocks I have not found anything better than the free chart service offered by Microsoft Investor.
