I'm back in.

I had sold also about 2/3 of my portfolio in Softbank about 2-3 weeks ago. Now I'm back in with 1/3, so I'm holding 2/3 of my original number of shares. I didn't make any money on this exchange -- it was about even, and I lost on taxes, but I don't believe you should fall in love with any stock...

But guess what -- I fell in love with Softbank all over again. I think that "the big one" e.g., the big drop, may be more unlikely. In any case, now that I'm holding a smaller number of shares, I'm more comfortable holding for the long term.

Jay, thanks for the corrected update. I hope you did not mind me using your market exit as an example. I simply found the psychology of the timing interesting, you clearly knew about the market "top", while I did not.

It is a lot the learn, but well worth the time!

Enjoy you trip!
