Problem is that you were lucky in 87. You may not be in the future. Good luck.

johnd, i am really surprised at how quickly you jumped the fence. from being one of the most bullish msft shareholders on the board you have turned into chicken little overnight. ultimately, each of us is responsible for our own investment decisions and must do what makes us feel comfortable and allows us to sleep peacefully each night. while you were selling today, i was buying. time will tell which of us made the right decision. while your decision may or may not have been the correct one over the weeks to come, i know that mine will have been the correct one when we look back at this in the years to come. good luck johnd, hope you are able to find the msft shares you are looking for down in the 70s, i just hope it's not after the next split. remember folks, it's never too late to buy msft.

Since you sold half, why don't you wait and see if there is any follow through to the downside. If it continues to sell off for two more days, then sell the rest on the next rally. This could be a short-lived correction. Bull markets usually don't die, they are killed by bad news. It could be premature to say the market will drop 10% or more since this current move is only about three weeks old. Of course, if your uncomfortable, sell it all. You can always buy it back :-) Regards, Ross
