Its going to take a bit of time and thinking to change from trader to investor or income generator. Some words from others: <<< "This is a new rapid-fire kind of environment that just stymies average investors. Old dogmas like buy and hold just dont work" J.W Paulson << The rapid-fire news environment and fast, cheap trading is causing mind-boggling and torturing volatility in what once were predictable growth stocks. <<< "In our view derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal" Warren Buffet >>> Brokers, now being investigated, have been eating illegally on the the $7 tril cheese brick along with fund managers, and each nibble requires more incoming investment dollars in the kitty to keep the values of any equity from falling But there is plenty of money (or income) to keep this market going for a while yet. Recently, people have been buying a lot of the secondary offerings, or preferred stock. No ideas here, but a change in investment policy is never easy or safe. Perhaps look for a tech fund containing your favorites? So one can maintain an interest in it. Sig
