<<Tech Stocks Edge Higher on Bright Outlook Friday January 10, 4:35 pm ET By Herbert Lash >> My two concerns.......war...not only just war, but what if they hit us hard, here in our own homeland with some nuclear or biological device of mass destruction? Not going to be good as people sell as fast as they can, moving to cash under the mattress as more fear rises....... Next, still too many nervous nellies...i just dont see how we will ever get a sustainable rally, with everybody and their brother sitting nervously with their finger on the sell button, and taking profits very quickly and going back to cash.....People have given up on LTBH, and wont resort back to that until things return to some kind of normalcy.....Whats ironic is alot of people are selling alot of stocks for nice gains.....but if we do indeed see our old highs in the next 40 years even, people are not going to be happy that they bought NXTL at $3, sold it at $7 or $8, only to see it at $100 way down the road....many, many stocks are priced right for a LTB&H. Sure, they may drop before they go up...heck they may go up and down like a yo yo for years...but if you believe that one day, we see our old high's, many, many stocks are prime to buy, as long as you believe in the long term and have the patience to ride out the storms........but again, right now, too many people are giving up on LTB&H and are running with profits very quickly.....until people feel comfortable buying EXTR at $2.20 and not selling at $4, and instead hold for higher returns, it is going to be hard to sustain a real, true rally.....good weeknd to all.....
