It is disconcerting to me to find this formerly most wonderful of threads, usually chock full of useful information, go down that lonely "junk thread" road. Many folks here have made some serious money this past year and maybe they can't handle it. Egos are now getting in the way - I guess that comes with "new wealth money." We've seen these corrections in Q before, nothing is new. It is called consolidation, back-filling, etc. And for those you can't take the volatility, then it is time to re-think your position and maybe bail out. It is no question that Q got ahead of itself when it went to $200. Long-term holders will see that price again and even greater. Short-term nervous nellies - well they'll just squawk & chatter. For those of you who need their hands held by other threadsters in order to make decisions on whether to buy or sell any stock, then I think you're in trouble. For those who need others to confirm their decisions, then it tells me you are lacking conviction. For those who want to leave the thread or go "back to the porch", so be it. For those who live with their decisions and convictions, right or wrong, those are the ones who are considered investors. As Peter Lynch has said - "just stay the course, just stay the course." Am I going "back to the porch" to nurse my ego - nah. I'm going back to my poolside to nurse my martini. Have a wonderful weekend all. Enough said. jmanvegas

Great idea: optimistic facts would be soothing. It's amazing how hostile these threads get when a stock is going down...and the more it went up and goes down the worse the let down. Freeus
