Really? Well, let's take a look at what you said about not worrying about tops, bottoms, or where stocks are going. I would use the "dying" word in a temporary context. A mock portfolio of fiber optics stocks I assembled in July 2000 for tracking purposes is down 93%. That is more than just a bubble bursting. The sector "died" for all intents and purposes as an investment until the next wave of demand comes along. I won't go into what hypocrisy means, but I will laugh a great deal about the "death" of the sector. Guess it isn't one where you will take your "sector rotation". I would not own JDSU now unless I could sit on that investment comfortably for 5-10 years. How could you possibly know what will be comfortable for 5 -10 years? How could you seek comfort in investment? Did you know that "comfort" is equivalent to risk averse? Do you know that stocks are quintessentially not risk averse? Risk is proportional to return. You are here presumably for return, so you have to take risk. I don't play "the markets" so it's irrelevant. You play the sectors by sitting on them and rotating. That isn't playing the markets? No, I guess not. And you call this thread Miscellaneous (Technology): 50% Gains Investing. Ah ha ha.
