Once people start talking about how up they are for the year on this and other alleged value threads, that seems to me to be the kiss of death, and I would soon expect a market correction.

I'll bite, Madharry. :) To Paul's point, I do think that I generally look back and think I should sell when I'm really proud of how well I've done in a year, but I think that probably came for you and I a couple of months ago when I was up more than 20%. At this point I'm up about 7%, which I'm satisfied with in general, but I don't think I'm proud enough for it to be a sell signal. :) That being said, I've gotten there primarily by having a large percentage of the portfolio I track in a gold miner mutual fund for the past two months. A lot of value picks have gotten really hit, which has brought me back to earth. Thanks, cw
