For those that are inexperienced in investing don't let This weekend Barron throw you off the track. They talk about Corning slowing down and the same for Cisco, not to mention various telecoms. First Barron's can get it very wrong. Back in the early 90s I inherited 100 shares of Wells Fargo at the time, it was on its way down, from 100 to 50. Because of the Barron's article I sold it, one or two years later it was worth 350. I believe this weekend's Barron's was talking old news, in the slow down, of the long hall, end of the telecom build out, which has been know for awhile. What they don't say, is that once more next generation gear gets put in place, this will re-engerize the whole sector, as business, goverment, universities and individuals will finally begin to have, the state of the art internet experience, all have been waiting for. Barron's talked about the slow down in demand for DSL, as one qualified, individual said to me, DSL was out dated for the use it is being put to, even before it was hooked up. Keep your eye on the future, find co.s that have a vision and plan well into the future. We may have a rough ride going forward, for a little bit, so hold long in shares, what you can afford to forget about. Anyways that my strategy, you have to make your own decisions. In five years we might be very glad that we stayed the course.
