Iso, yup I make mistakes and I'm not afraid to make them either. I'm of the opinion it's best to look foolish for a day or two than to remain ignorant for a lifetime. Although I'm fully invested, it's not all in tech. Some energy and some retail. I expect to be out of tech before April. In fact, I expect to momentarily be in cash the beginning of April. I just think right here, right now, the risk is greater being out as opposed to in. You are correct in saying that this sideways volatility is suitable for my investing style today. My plan is to change styles as conditions warrant. I don't know if I'll be successful doing this, but I'm going to attempt it. Even in falling markets, there's money to be made. It is my hope to keep an open mind, learn from others and not to be afraid to admit when I'm wrong and move on quickly. I may get my butt kicked, but I refuse to be intimidated by what I don't know. You can recover from a butt kicking, but you never recover from intimidation. Keep the ideas and insights coming. I have much to learn! When you're green you're growing, when you're ripe you're rotten. dabum
