David- I guess we could go back and forth forever. I gotta tell you though, most of my very best investments were stocks I bought at their "high". I could go back several yrs. I've been buying CSCO at its high for over 4 yrs now. Most recently, I bought more last month at $112 and last week at 62-close to their "high's" at the time. I bought MSFT/SUNW/INTC at their highs several yrs back. Most recently, I bought QCOM ($133), NTAP($48),and yes UNPH($151) at their high. I buy these companies not too worried if there is a pullback, even a significant pullback(I also bought ATHM at a high of $77-still waiting).I bought these companies because of I believe IN THE LONG TERM,they will go up. Of course they will go down-sometimes quite sharply. That's part of the game. But I didn't mind paying their "high" price; I want to be in the game, not watching from the sidelines hoping to buy on sale, a sale price that I've been waiting for may never come. My $.02. Lastly, UNPH is not a core holding of mine-yet; it will be very shortly.Take care,have a great holiday.
