<< When, and how high it will go is anyones guess. Personally I am hanging tough till the end of January. Then we shall see what we shall see.>> JB, that is fine if you have a cost basis of $5, or $10, or $20. You are playing with house money and are only losing profits as the stock goes lower. If your cost basis is higher than current prices, such as for those who bought in February, March, and April and have held on desperately, encouraged by the bull touts on this board, then you are losing real money. These late comers seem to assume that a stock that once sold for 300 times trailing earnings has an iron-clad right to that multiple, regardless of market forces or changes in fundamentals or psychology. They will learn that the market does not work that way. BP
