Actually since we seem to be holding NAZ support I'm dabbling a little. I added to my QCOM and will probably add some more BRCM. I think you can't go wrong with the big boys - like Mark Duper and JDN said.. they will come back the quickest and be the more solid investments - long term. OG

Hey Tel, Gar, and the rest! Don't you guys think that 12 months for a Long Term Gain is kind of out of line in this day and age market? To me it seems like the market punishes investors if they don't trade! Most of the gains in the stock market recently have been made in a 3-4 month time frame. If you hold for Long Term Capital treatment you lose more in valuation then you would gain by holding for the Long Term Gain advantage! Doesn't make sense, and it's been like that for a long time. The short term gain taxes is much too severe, and in this day an age long term is 2 months! Howie
