Rupert, I think if you look you will see many long time investors, myself included, bailed out of AMD in the not so distant past. I think Mani called it best at $24.85, or was that Pravin? I have found the hardest thing to do is to separate your emotions from your investment decision -- particularly if you have done all the research yourself and come to some sort of conclusion as to the future of a particular company. You are in a sense wedded to the stock. The only way I know of to protect yourself is to use stops that effectively take the decision out of your hands and then maintain the discipline to not cancel them. It's a hard thing, because greed usually wins out over fear. But after the disastrous hit my portfolio took in the post bubble crash, I vowed it would never happen again.

People were laughing at me when I was making comments about Hector's golden parachute and the fact that several officers were dumping 80% of their options...the company's management has lost all credibility and must profess an honest change by restructuring or simply sell the company for maximum value to maximize shareholder value...
