LTBH vs. STG (short term gain) According to estimates from IDC, the storage market could be worth $46 billion by 2003. And Forrester Research predicts that by 2003 corporations will be spending three quarters of their IT dollars on storage. It's no wonder that big server companies like Sun Microsystems, IBM, Dell, Compaq, and Hewlett-Packard have been squawking rather loudly about their latest storage initiatives. Is it really worth the chance of missing the really big moves just to lock in a short term gain and short term tax liability? If one is tempted by these short term gains they should maintain a hold on a core position and try trading a shorterm position. You'll soon find that over time you'll do much better with a LTBH strategy. IMHO
