Greg...Now I want to market to fall completely apart like in the spring, so I can operate in safer environment. and yes SUNW is a core holding, but nothing will escape the coming market downturn. I am in agreement with your perverse desire for a drop to sort out the tea leaves...What else besides SUNW is in your "Core"? Any particular others you are looking to pick up on limit order and at what relative level? What is the meaning of Life?...a few softballs for you to stroke, Greg?...jj

<<< Sometimes I wonder. I can't get anything going for more then a month or two with out it falling apart. >>> Yup,yup, yup. You name it goes up a lot,it gets killed, cpq,aol,yhoo,dell,rmbs,brcm,vrts. I've been worried about jdsu and glw and even glw took a bad hit but its still good (for me). A core holding? Thats the one stock left worth more than you paid for it. I gave up on LT holdings (except the big D)) and will now sell anything that gets higher than I paid -sometimes when only $2 profit. Yet I keep many leaps and have about 25% in those.Try to roll them up and out after selling. I still think about holding LT, which puts me into csco,nt,txn,intc,orcl, (name brands) which seem to do better for me in trading than ones I don't know so well. My LT goal (year or so) is to hold the Dell. ST goal (daily) is to buy calls or stocks and hold for one day or a week looking for around $4/sh or up profit. It is said that one cannot time the market and win. I disagree because its what we do, in one manner or another,else may as well buy a fund. So your inner clock says its time for break? No problem. Regards. (sorry for any repetitious statements) Sig
