I've been at this game for a while and one thing I always regret is not holding a great stock AFTER it has been beat up. I did it with INTC way back-3 years ago. I did it with AOL, buying at $26 about 5 splits ago only to sell it...4 splits ago! That was just intelligent! I decided one year to buy and hold IOM. Did it through a split. Held on and on and on only to BREAK EVEN! I trade this stock but I need to just hold it and forget about it because I know I'm going to regret it if I sell these shares! I wish I could "slide" forward a couple of years without looking! Trading has been so good to me the majority of the time, I get a bit impatient with some of these issues! My wife just shakes her head! She asks, "...why can't you just get a regular job that pays you what you make doing that?" I sleep like crap! I stress during the day! I make more money than I care to spend and you would think I could buy and hold this stock! Man, I have to get out more! I follow hockey. My Sabres are getting screwed every night by the officiating. I used to be a BBall official. Men's college. Worked Div.-I, Major conferences. Been on national t.v., The whole bit. Couldn't stand it after a while because too many officials would try to officiate "outside" the rules. Makes me sick. Ya wanna puke? Watch NHL officials! Sorta reminds me of MM's. What they do is illegal, any way you slice it. They drive a stock down, buy it, run it up, dump and short it, only to run it back down and do it again. I gotta get out more. Man, I need a beer. Sabre!
