Hi Chris, >> I hate this new SI posting board. No preview and no spell checking! What a great improvement!<< Agreed. No quotes nor charts either. Maybe "UserLevel" has something to do about it. Mine is "10" (look at the bottom for yours). Us grandfathered freeloaders are now probably getting reduced functionality. I can see that for bums like me, but insightful folks, like you and Bob, that offer indepth analysis and foresight, ought to be given a better UserLevel. Buddy

Hi Chris, I've been hopeful that future investing acts more like it did in the late 80's and early 90's. Tops were so subtle it was impossible to tell. Advances occurred and gave nice % rises and held most of their gains - until a shake out would occur. These shakeouts were where you made your money. If you buy into the weakness and earnings are more stable and slowly add to the wealth of the underlying company,purchases made at those dips gave you cost basis that was never again approached. This is a longer term way to invest. It gives you the trauma of second guessing your "shoulda coulda's,but it is a nice slow way to build up a nice adjusted cost average. From here on out it is buy the dips and accumualte more or have a short term trade account and sell 1/3 at a 50% run up. That is a nice way to minimize margin which of course allows one to be aggressiave at the shakeout time/price. These are good times that will buil stockholder equity. I believe we must be more vocal on eliminating options grants which dilute stockholders value. If one is to be a long term investor - management must reward long term holders with undiluted equity appreciation. JMHO Bob
