Nope..not at all...It's real easy to look back now and say " I wish I had played the swings "...after all, we know what those swings are now. We didn't before they happened, so you have no idea what those swings will be.........If we knew it was going from .22 - .16, everybody would sell high and buy low. But we don't know that. Your kicking yourself now, only because the swing worked as it did. What if you got your wish...sold it at .22 and instead of going to .16, it goes to .30. You would not be here now saying what you are saying. You would instead be saying your kicking yourself for selling. So, yes Blitz...it's real easy to look back after the fact and say " what if ", but don't be so hard on yourself. It's the same for everybody and every stock that was ever traded. Had I known AOL was going from $175 to $105 I would have sold high and bought back lower....however I would have risked it going to $200 instead of $105, and beforehand we have no way of knowing.....
