I have some INTC.....not a whole lot, but some....one of those I keep a little of for the long term, simply due to the fact it is an established leader within it's sector, and more then likely isnt going to bankrupt anytime soon ( hopefully <ggg>) I heard you mention vrts, beas and maybe cien, as new leaders......I notice you didnt mention BRCD.....Personally, whether it or any stock, goes up or down short to medium term I have no idea....but do like BRCD for the long term......and it's weird....3 years ago if you had told me extr would be available for under $5, let alone the low $2's, I would have thought you were crazy and would have said " if EXTR is $5, I'll back up the truck, but at $5 and hold for the long term"........yet now I look at my rather large amount of shares of EXTR and wonder whether to sell in the $5's and take my profit and run<ggg>...amazing how much things change over time.....but on the other hand, I do like extr....what I dont like is this market, economy and world events.......In a nut shell.....Like EXTR and almost every other stock I have, I am sitting here looking at them with far, far lower prices...I like the business models and etc, etc......yet I am sitting here at these low prices, looking at companies i really like...yet am wondering whether to sell or not......In 5 years...in 10 years, will people be happy or sad that they sold in january 2003? I have no clue....anything can shoot to the moon, and the best of the best can go bankrupt, at any given time.......very hard market to figure.....I mean, I really cannot believe I am looking at certain stocks like extr...currently in the $4's and debating whether I should SELL......something tells me alot of people will be sorry they didnt buy during the great bear market at very low prices....and something else tells me we will be sorry for holding right now, regardless of how cheap certain stocks have become......I have no clue whatsoever...staying long for now, but keeping cash available as well........
