Ken, Trading styles have to change with the environment. There use to be Traders and long term holders. Now I believe most people are a combination of the two. They typically buy in as long term holders but evaluate the company on short term horizons. Such as quarterly earnings and expected weekly news. Long term investors use to look at year over year results. Now if a quarter comes up poor(or good) there is a huge reaction. Which explains why there have been such extreme knee jerk reactions on stocks. Perhaps in todays ever faster spinning world in which we live the time frame for Long Term needs to be redefined? Maybe Long Term is now 3 months? Another Story stock I have been buying is HESG. I have followed it for the last few years and I believe I found it on Gary G's thread. There is going to be a lot of good news to drive this stock price. Fundamentals are a ways away. Joe
