Another way to look at things, Ray, is:

What is going to hurt more, riding an excellent stock d-o-w-n then back up or selling [when it starts to go down], buying back [when it starts climbing once more]--and having to pay short term capital gains taxes. The though of those taxes [given my tax rate] are enough to make me shudder. No, not shudder, consider investing in a company that manufacturers smelling salts.

When taxes are taken into consideration, buying back into anything, not merely BRCM, a few points lower might mean a person is actually able to buy back less shares [due to taxes].
