One has to play the game to suit how they feel about the game as long as one realizes that they need money to play the game. My goal is to buy stocks that go up 100% but the story has to not change as it they do so. Sure I buy stock that will never make it to 100%. Apple and Leapfrog are perfect example of a stocks that I feel the story changed. I'll sell a stock in a heart beat if I think the story changes or is well understood or priced in if you will. I look for stocks that are easily understood by the masses, they have wide potential, while holding some tried and true stocks like INTC and DELL as long as they are going up that is. With Apple it was Ipod and the knock offs I'm starting to see. With Leapfrog it was the how cool the technology was, (I loved playing with the demo books in the stores, the sounds was so cool to hear, but when I started to see totally green Isle (floor to ceiling leapfrog wow) in stores I was beginning to wonder about saturation of the story. Greg-- Isle surfing, crowd staring, talking to teenagers type investor. <g> I am going to have to rent teens somewhere since mine are getting ready to fly to coop. <g>

<<Atmel FingerChip Fingerprint Sensor Has Been Selected for Sharp's Mebius Muramasa PC-TN1-H1W Tablet PC Tuesday November 4, 8:01 am ET GRENOBLE, France, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Atmel® Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML - News) announced today that the number one selling sweeping sensor, the AT77C101B FingerChip(TM) biometric sensor, has been selected by Sharp Corporation to provide logon security for its newest and first fingerprint-protected Tablet PC®, Sharp Mebius Muramasa PC-TN1-H1W.>> Sig, as per your post about not winning...rolling the dice and etc...I have done a lot of analysis and this year the best thing to have done was to simply buy and hold. Id that the best thing to do now? I have no idea, but certainly the last year, the best was just to buy, and let it sit. 99.99% of everything I sold, hoping to buy back cheaper, is now so far above where I sold it, I doubt I will get the chance to buy back too much below where I sold it. The losses I missed out on by selling on the way up are huge. Had I held everything, I could be retired by now. But, I wont complain. I did not know what to expect from the markets so I took profits and ran. Had I known most stocks would continue to fly, I wouldnt have sold anything, but that is easy to say in hindsight. So, buy and hold has been the ticket so far this year, but whether it continues to be, I have no idea....crucial levels right now and no telling how market will react. Lots of bulls saying a minor lull will occur and then continued upswing and alot of bears saying grab your profits NOW before they all disappear, which they are sure they will, as market, pe's and etc, are getting way ahead of themselves again. Me? I have no idea...I wish I hadn't sold on the way up, so I could sell some now, but since I already did some selling, booking profits and raising cash, I am in sit and wait mode. I have cash and would like to buy on the cheap, but then again, I would prefer to see us fly upward. And yes, I still think 10k and 2k are going to be hard to break, and who knows what happens if it looks like we cant...could be a big drop for all I know...but my guess is jan 1 2004, we are still below 10k and 2k. Hope I am wrong.
