Hey folks, even though I missed the opportunity of the last
10 point run, I am doing quite great. It is plain cash. A little
boring. What the heck.

It is just that I had 90% of all of my networth in one stock.
Wouldn't you be conservative if you had the same situation?
I could be upset about the opportunity loss. But life could
be a lot worse. I will be back in when the time is right. I
too expect 200 easily by 12 months.

I am reworking my positions and accounts. Will get back slowly
during the next 1 -2 months.

I am strong follower of Buy and Hold. But I had no diversification
and too much exposure to one stock. It is my hard earned money
remember. It is not meant for gambling. When I feel the risk
is high, I need to reposition. No one can do 200% a year every
year for 20 years by investing in stocks.

I love MSFT for long term. I do see the stock coming down in the
short term. Sorry but that is the way I see it.

Being in cash, I am all smiles.
johnd
