Skeeter- I agree- keeping the gains that one has made is the real issue. But I do find it ironic that some of the smartest people I know have missed out on Qcom's run thusfar (despite my exhortations!) Someone once said that most people would rather be "right" than make money. And yes, a monkey with a buy button (provided he was buying Q) could have outperformed the average fund manager, certainly- this isn't rocket science. But it's arguably a lot more difficult for a human being to hit that same button, burdened with the powers of reason, and faced with the prospect of defending that decision to real people with real money!! As Voltaire has. He's made incredibly gutsy calls repeatedly and has proven to be right each and every damn time. That takes real human courage and vision...intelligence in action!! Best, Kate
