CD For me, lack of patience in 1999 have been very expensive.. If I had left my portfolio alone as it was at the start of 1999, today it would be worth approx. 50% more and more importantly I would not be looking at tax bite in April.. And that is from some one who usually is patient to a fault... But whatever works. You have to go with what is comfortable. My comment was in jest since you are, like me, beating yourself up, after the fact.. As we all do...

CD have to go with Sultan,lack of patience has hurt me a lot more than help me with on major cautionary statement--stocks i held before they made big moves and quit on--ADAP ASDV GSPN ROHN DDD AFCI WEBT OMKT to name some---but the major cautionary statement is those who held, held into an explosive NASD bull from the end of October until into Jan,one can't always count on this--thus far this year i have only 6 i have annointed hold hold be patient--CNTR SBAS(after having traded those 2 heavily) GBT CDT MGIC BOUT---my buy and sell on FNSR from 69-92 looked great UNTIL it just kept going and now is 114.The key to know is which to hold and which to dump,a daunting task. OSIS had that from 5.5 to 9 ,i guess i better get back on top of that--and do DD.PaxMax
