I understand and appreciate your frustration with Q. I have one question for you, however. Assuming that you would have sold at the end of '00 in the 80s or at the end of '99 in the 160s, and made a pile of money, can you honestly guarantee yourself that you would have considered your profits capital not to be invested except in securities which are stable, i.e., safe, low-yield instruments practically certain to have maintained their value during '00 and '01? If you can unhesitatingly and honestly answer that question in the affirmative, then your complaints are valid. Otherwise, it is likely that any sale in '99 or '00 would have lead to a destruction of your profits which is likely to have been much more severe than any losses you've sustained by holding Q.
