Greg: I have to thank you on your comments that you made on this thread. While it was not directed to me per se, it did apply.In case yuor wondering what I am talking about, you made a comment responding to those who are afraid of taking profits because of the tax consequesnce. You replied that if a stock went down by 1/3, the stock would have to rebound by 50% to recoup. If a stock went down 50%, it would have to double to recoup. The math may be easy, but the implications are quite profound. Thanks for bringing that point home. David
