<<I recently got rid of some of that stinky old QCOM at 46, NTAP at 15, and SEBL at 21 to raise cash for a "buying opportunity." Now what?????>> Depends....do you think we go back down, or stay sideways and base, or go up??? I am in same dilema, only I havent sold.....I am debating whether I think we are going back down, in which case I should sell and buy back lower...but at same time, The stocks I have I want to own for a long time, so I am hesitant to sell, if I am going to have to buy them back for more......I did grab some extr under $10, but missed the $5's and $6's.....does extr go back to those levels...same with fdry, ntap and a host of others...bought low....if I sell now, will I get a chance to buy significantly lower....no need to sell ntap at $17, if the lowest i will get on a dip is $14.....the $3 is not worth A)capital gains and B) the stress in not knowing if you will get it cheaper, and if so, at what price and when do you buy.......crazy market makes it tough to make decisions......right now I am sitting and not selling.....if we continue to rally, maybe I will sell some calls a few months out at higher strike prices, rather then selling the stock...heck, who knows what I am going to do...not me <ggg>
