>>I can't remember how many times I have sold way too soon I used to do that myself...now I sell a portion of my holding at a predetermined sell target and let the remaining shares ride.

I've looked at past postings for several stocks that have been successes and it was always interesting to see how many people would sell too early. It solidified my opinion that a time horizon of 24-36 months or more is reasonable, especially if DD indicates that a company will succeed. And that last summer was a test of strength! Today seemed to be mostly institutions, especially the end with numerous blocks over 25K going by. Short covering in anticipation of news (that the individual investor is always the last to hear), a vote of confidence that the Fed won't rap all the naughty exuberant investors on the knuckles?? We should get Voltaire over here from the QCOM thread to expound n how the MMs and institutions are manipulating the price :-)
