DownSouth: The problem is not finding great stocks; the problem is that there are too many of them!! I have found that I defeat myself and my investing goals by overtrading and selling into and out of these great stocks, based on momentum and sector rotation. The real challenge is to acquire the discipline to simply hold these stocks for as long a period as possible, compounding one's profits and not giving 40% of one's profits to Uncle Sam. Timing the market, overtrading, and overreacting to every piece of news and stock gossip are the true enemies of the individual investor. P.S. I hold all of the stocks you've mentioned and have overloaded JDSU. This is a monster and will continue to be so for several years to come.
