Jurgis Bekepuris: re: "buy elephants, buy mice, buy them all!" lol! That does seem to describe my style. --------------------------- I don't mind holding "dead money" stocks with their potential intact if the alternative is having losing stocks on which one gives up hope of recovery. A "no-gain" is better than "a loss". In looking at the "opportunity cost" one endures by hanging on to a stock that goes nowhere, sometimes one forgets that yes, the money could possibly be employed better or for faster results elsewhere, but sometimes too, that "elsewhere" opportunity turns into a loss. And in the past couple of years there have been so many losing-stock opportunities.
