Buy and hold. Yep, that's the ticket. That's all that matters. (Cramer)

"Straw man: Occurs when the writer directs the argument against a claim that nobody actually holds or that everyone agrees is weak; often involves misrepresentation or distortion of the opposing argument."

Look at his example of a mutual fund manager talking about B&H. The decision to keep a position in Fidelity Magellan or some such is a different ball of wax from a downtrodden Net stock. And an investment advisor probably has some idea of diversification in his mind.

Apples to apples. Oranges to oranges.

I read this article by James Kramer and thought about Mr. Corbin:

But if the merchandise turns out to be faulty, do you buy and hold it?

I'm surprised Cramer didn't include in that list of losers the stock he's gotta be losing on the most....his own company: TSCM....what a bozo, maybe he was really talking to himself!
