I WANT TO VENT! HAD I NOT RECEIVED AND CHOSE TO ACT ON BRINKER'S NEWSLETTER, MY PORTFOLIO WOULD BE WORTH OVER $70,000.00 MORE THAN IT IS WORTH TODAY.

I KNOW, I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE DECISION TO SELL. HAD TO SELL OUTSIDE OF TAX-SHELTERED TO GET TO 40%. ADD IN THE TAX BILL I WILL HAVE AND MY MOOD DARKENS. I SOLD LOTS OF GREAT COMPANIES THAT HAD DOUBLED AND TRIPLED LIKE LRCX, AMAT, TER, SVGI, COHU, ETC. AND THEY HAVE BEEN GOING MUCH HIGHER SINCE THE BRINKER SELL SUGGESTION. GLAD I DIDN'T SELL CYMI AND MTSN!

MY WISH IS FOR A STEEP AND SERIOUS CORRECTION TO ALLOW ME TO GET BACK IN TO THESE STOCKS THAT I REGRET SELLING.

JUST AN HONEST VENTING FROM A SMALL INVESTOR WHO FOLLOWS BRINKER.

I think it takes character to take personal responsibility for a decision. I think this is true, even if one's decision was to follow the advice of another. I think taking personal responsibility for one's actions in life means that one avoids blaming others. Blame is so boring. And unbecoming. I think more is required of us.

But, perhaps I am old fashioned. Perhaps this is the new era.
