My investing "philosophy" is similar to yours although I really do not do any day-trading. I designate somewhere between 50-60% of my portfolio as long-term hold. These are bellweather technology and
telecommunications stocks and dominant market-niche players that rarely correct steeply enough to justify the Federal 39% tax rate on profits generated by short-term sales. The remainder of the portfolio is comprised of internet and other momentum stocks that I hold for less than a year; the actual time they are held depends on how quickly and sharply they run up (or down). I do not daytrade stocks because:
(1) I have very poor results with this and am not nimble enough, and
(2) I cannot stay at a computer during the workday to be effective at this.

Having said all that, I think there are several stocks that are core holdings (long-term holds) which are screaming buys right now.
My suggestions are: EMC, Intel, Microsoft, Pfizer, Warner-Lambert, and
Global Crossing. While these stocks will not produce the rapid returns that your Market Watch stocks will, they will serve to anchor a portfolio and make these steep declines a bit more tolerable.
