>There is a lesson here somewhere.

I think that lesson is known by many here at SI and stated by many here in their own way. Some of my favorites. Diversify, discipline, diligence and allocate appropriately for your mistakes. Never fall in love with a stock.


>It always hurts to take those loses

Yes it does. I've also took a sizable loss in TCCO today. Although I'm not happy with taking losses. I accept it's part of investing. Personally I do take some big risks, but that's my *style. Even with these year end losses booked. 2011 was an exceptionally good profitable year for myself. Three successful takeouts in this board. MARTEK BIOSCIENCES CORP, SMART MODULAR TECHNOLOGIES, and EMS TECHNOLOGIES INC. The biggest realized gain however was a non takeout, UFPT TECHNOLOGIES.
