Ted,

Time will tell but I feel I've learned something this year:

If a stock has weak fundamentals, it better have a good near term story, as it is likely to be much more weakly supported than a company with better financials if the story doesn't happen.

Wow. Profound stuff. You'd think one who has been investing in micros for the last 15 years might have learned this lesson before now! Value is usually rewarded. Hope and hype is usually not.
Good lessons to learn. I think in addition, I would add that stocks change from good story to weak fundamentals all the time(and vice versa) and it is not always obvious when that will occur. I think one good thing to keep in mind is that things are changing all the time. I think the amount of trading that has gone on in the market make buy and hold a harder long term strategy because things bounce around, I think, a lot more than they used to.

I actually like this board because it is not too active. Usually something significant going on when someone posts here.

Best to you and your family this holiday season.

Neal
