Someone ask me a question on where they should invest if they were just starting out below is my response. See this post. Message 13879519 If I was just starting out, I would but equal amounts of CSCO, ORCL, and EMC as core holdings that I wouldn't sell unless the story changed for them. I would also buy some optical stocks like SDLI, JDSU just a little. Buy 50 or 100 share lots today watch them for a month, add on weakness after a month is up, the core holdings I wouldn't worry about let them ride, the optical plays I would watch like a hawk, I would let them go down 20% before I would sell them. Once you got your confidence up again, I would start to speculate on stocks like PWER, ADTK, RBAK and JNPR. re: (this was in ref. to another poster on another thread) he is just going through the learning process, it takes time. no one has the perfect method, I make mistakes all the time, the trick is to make them in small amounts. That's why you need plan, like never letting gains turn into a loss, never let losses grow more then 10%, ( I violate that one, put I have been around the block before so I can get away with it most the time) and never force a trade. What I mean about the last one is that you have invest when the market condition are in your favor. Never feel bad about selling a stock, most the time it is good to walk away and invest in something else. Finally never let taxes become an issue. I have a little saying, More the Taxes I pay the more I'm winning. Greg
