Monty, I still don't get it? If they hold shares that are up 3-500% or more, what have they lost? They can continue to hold for retirement and still beat the daylights out of trading. I read an article about MCI in the fall. During the period from 1971-1997, shares were halved over 5 times but in the end, holding MCI outpaced the markets by 5-700%. Looking at the declines this year as a lost opportunity is a microscopic view. You are not qualified to tell me what I do and don't get. Have a happy New Year nonetheless. tp

So monty, are you assuming that CSCO longs, and I specifically, never took any profits? You sure seem to have the inside line on what everybody is doing in their investment and trading accounts. Hint Monty, Until last week, I never posted any of my activities with CSCO's stock. And how the hell can I monetize shareholder ignorance if I never sell? Sheesh Monty, you aren't thinking too clearly on this stuff.
