I agree if you have done your DD and have faith in a company it pays to hold rather than trade in and out. Learned that the hard way. But if AFLX does get moving it wouldn't pay to switch either. Fear and past market manipulations tend to make us sell early. My health has gotten worse with Angina. I had several heart attacks so they did angiopasty attempt in June but both main arteries were completely blocked so they could not ballon much less put in stents. Open heart surgery for most is the answer but my chances of surviving are slim to none. My life has been extended nearly 15 years after being in a coma with kidney failure, lung failure ruptured aorta repair. They pulled the plug on all the life sustaining machines and told Margaret to arrange funeral it would end in 3 days or less I came out of the coma got better and went from intensive caare to progressive care and home in a month. Advised then probably wouldn't last a year and would have to have another kidney operation if I did live. Since life is short anyway I decided to live each day and not dwell on death. As you know I do not fear hell as many others do. Doctors do make errors. Of course I dread leaving Margaret and kids but will take it as it comes. I think IDC investment has given me some peace of mind since i will allow to Margaret to stay in our longer after I'm gone. Good luck and smell the roses while you can.
