Sueponine - remember my post back in November about why Yaacov was not a moron for selling at 114?

Greed is the enemy of long term investing. Another maxim - no one ever went broke taking a profit.

There's no end to how much I disagree with what you're saying. --- I'm reminded that I'm discussing investment theory here with an engineer. <g> --- Here's the thing, dog: SUNW is not DELL.

He then went on for a long series about how I was full of it for suggesting that MAYBE, just MAYBE SUNW would not continue to rocket up.

Now that it is at a third of the price it was when I posted that, I doubt that JC or any of the other cheerleaders will come back and say "Gee, maybe that was actually prudent advice, maybe it would have been better for people to not lose 2/3 of their gains."

I also expect that they will continue to slam anyone who says anything negative about SUNW in the future...

DELL is higher than SUNW and BOTH are lower than CPQ... and CPQ is not anything to brag about except it's up from 14...

Just an engineer who doesn't know anything about buy and hold.

i'm not rubbing it in. I am revisiting some old, albeit poorer friends. I have no issues with you.
