<Heck, I watched for over a year with QCOM, and that will probably go down as my all time luckiest purchase ever.> I know the feeling. ERICY is my largest holding in my IRA and it's up almost 500% since I bought it, which is one reason why I put up with JD's mistakes. Having said that, I'm tempted to sell half of it and buy QCOM even now, which is what I recall you doing many moons ago. Like you, I've also been "luckiest" when I tracked a stock for a long time. That's what I did with ZICA when I finally pulled the trigger at 2 early in the summer, again at 4, and again at 6 and change. Yesterday, it closed at 12 when they announced a deal with Legend, who partners with Microsoft in China. As John Bogle, of Vanguard Funds fame said, "Time is your friend. Impulse is your enemy." More truth than poetry, I would have to say.
