:o) Thanks, Dealer. I have decided (for now) that my core holdings are QCOM, JDSU, CSCO, LHSP(rotten lately, like Qcom), GMST and CTXS. A little CMGI and BRCM. And HD. That's enough "core" to watch. All others I buy or have bought are up for grabs as soon as I detect another market top. I have some nice gains in rmbs and intc '02's but you know what? The '02's lose value like everything else in a correction and they do not come back as strong or as fast as they were...so I'm happy to take profits in them too and treat them like stock, if they are in a non-core holding. Those of us not quite wealthy yet (once again I'm getting there) need to begin to be very cautious in markets that go up too fast and start banking profits on the side. Unless we do that we are in a panic when the corrections (or bear markets) come plus we cannot buy our favorite companies at the great prices our wealthier cousins can. Freeus
