Michael, I appreciate your post. It's not about guts, but rather about being honest with my investing friends on this thread. I think it would be dishonest for me to be such a DELLHEAD and to make such a move without letting everyone know at the time I'm doing it. It may be a bad move in some eyes, but it is the right move for me, and for my long term portfolio goals.
I love this stock, and I love this company, but I'm too prudent to let it all ride on any one play, especially given the amount of money that I'm now talking about.
In the past, I viewed my gains as found money. That has changed now that I could retire at 29 and play around in the market. I like the moves I've made in diversification, and while the pile may not grow as quickly as it once did (and maybe it will or get close to it) I see no point in taking unnecessary risks on individual plays.
Anyone the chooses to lampoon this move, bull or bear, is acting foolish, IMHO.
Regards,
