"EBIX is becoming expensive," EBIX is a really nice story right now. It just depends on how long it grows. My main concern is my tendency to get top heavy. I love buying the dips on these long term growers, but I'm also trying to learn to sell the spikes a little bit along the way. I have a problem with that - I like to hoard 'em. I tell myself selling the spikes gives me cash to buy the dips. (My primary bad experience as a buy-the-dip investor here is GRMN Garmin. I did a little better with HANS Hanson Natural and CTSH Cognizant Tech, and even very recently DECK Deckers Outdoors, but in the end there's the risk these type of growers end up a big part of my portfolio especially since I like to add to them over time. Sell the spikes I tell myself... They're easy to fall in love with.
