Thanks for the polite response. It is so easy for people (me included) to get offended, when a lot of money and ego is involved. I've just got a starter position in QCOM, 10% of my money, no LEAPs. An investor could do OK by just putting some money, the first of every month, into QCOM, no matter what the price. If they'd started doing that before March 1999, they would have done very well. If they'd started doing that in August 1999, they will do well..........eventually. Assuming they have the discipline to keep buying, and hold, through all the FUD. Assuming they are not using margin or options. And they still wouldn't do as well as someone who timed his purchases, buying only when the stock is out of favor (now, or earlier than early 1999).
