Ditto on holiday wishes from me ... You guys, (I use this as the "northern" version of "y'all" being an orig Kentuckian ... neutral during Civil War ... LOL, as though it's still 'being fought' -- LOL) ... Seeing shrinks over owning QCOM seems to me to be an exercise in futility. Perhaps unless you find one who is a trader <g>. But, even then, they get to charge you (what? $100 an hour? What do shrinks cost? I shudder to imagine) to talk the market with you ... Look: it's only going to cut into your monthly cash flow which I would imagine some here are worried about. I have the distinct impression that most if not all posters on this Porch are SURVIVORS, who "do what it takes" to "make it," in as many diverse ways and meanings that apply to each of us as individuals. * If it requires "going back to work," do it. * If it requires selling CCs for the first time to generate living expense income, do it. * If it requires selling QCOM and starting from 'square one,' do it. Your lives are NOT OVER because of this company and its stock. Don't mistake me for sounding so "hard-nosed:" I FEEL for you to the extent that I don't post on hard days on this board because of the pain I suspect that you're feeling. Just want to make the point that this is not end of world -- correct? Best to all, and see you next week (I may take a look at Monday, myself, as RR posted a coupla days ago, for possible short-term option opportunities ... would be my inclination to look at some far-out (LOL -- sorry -- obviously I'm not an 'options expert' -- I'm lousy with the proper terminology at this point) ... What I mean is far out in TIME ... LEAPs ... somewhere either slightly or significantly out-of-the-money.) For purposes of swing trading. PS congratulations to VENKIE on BRCM ... looks real good afterhours...joining the S&P today was your strategy all along recently, right? "b-i-a" ###
