Somethings I have to remember to remind myself when I'm tempted to sell; Mainly, for me, it is going to be tough to get back in later.... I'll admit that I considered trading out of some QCOM that I now have a little loss in with the hope of getting back in at a better price. But, then I figure that by the time I work out when to re-enter, I'll have missed 10-20 points or so, I'll bet. When all this sillyness stops, QCOM will move up fast, I'm hoping. Not only that, but our favourite Uncle, (that'd be Sam, not Frank), won't let me use any losses as a deduction if I re-enter within 30 days of a sale. Man! (Now, don't be asking me any tax questions since I don't know... Disu is great on tax stuff and might help ya though.) So, not being a great market timer, I'm just hanging tough and ignoring these insane swings for now... of course losing 7 points a day like this means that the Q will be worth the big zero in 10 days... seems like something's gotta change sooner or later. Anyway, I still can't figure out what other stock I'd rather own in quantity over the next few years. Cheers...
