Respectfully, the question is "what was learned." I agree with you that it is okay to take profits while you have them. Selling into weakness can be a dubious strategy to accomplish this. I like your comment about taxes. Taxes are good. If you have to pay them, then you made money. I have made mistakes because I didn't want to pay taxes. INTCfan

rescrew the tax consequences You all know that I consider taxes armed theft and I disagree with the income tax which is particularly onerous. But nevertheless, paying taxes would have been definitely preferable to losing what many of us have just lost. For me: The dreams of A house A new car Private school and paying for Olympic training if he makes it for my grandson (have to go on paying for the private school anyway, whether I can "afford" it or not) Stopping teaching and doing what I like with my time. Oh well. Freeus
