More food for thought (thinking out loud):

Stock: PSR (per SI):

Top Tier Group (made most of their move?):

AMAT 11.48
KLAC 11.46
LRCX 7.46
NVLS 10.40
TER 7.22

Second Tier Group (making their move?):

BRKS 5.69
COHU 5.80
CYMI 9.40 (belongs in Top Tier now?)
MTSN 6.21

Third Tier Group (yet to make their move?):

CFMT 2.86
CRPB 1.49
PLAB 3.62
SFAM 2.36
SMTL 2.93
SVGI 1.72
UTEK 2.97


I am not in the Top Tier at all (except for 3K shares of NVLS in a taxable account which I will hold for another year), heavily in the Second Tier group, and moderately in some of the Third Tier group. I got out of the Top Tier when they were about 50% of where they are now in favor of the Second Tier, which has been a good decision from a total return standpoint. Maybe now is the time to move from Second Tier more into the Third Tier, but I have a habit of making these moves too soon!

Anyone is welcome to ring the bell for me when these stocks are at their top!

When you refer to 'tax-deferred accounts', do you mean 401(k) types, or another that I may not be aware of? With the sudden upswing in MTSN prices, I'm also beginning to wonder where the top may be and when to consider selling. Along with that, of course, comes capital gains and taxes, and I'd like to minimize the bite. Thanks.
