Biotech / Medical : Coherent (COHR) : Anyone else holding? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Thomas: I sold my non-IRA holdings of COHR for that reason. With $12 e-trade and thinner buy-sell spreads, it makes more sense. I sold to realize tax losses for the first time this year. Of course, this was a year when there was more opportunity to do so. :-(

I hate to give advice unless you promise to use it as contrarian indicator. Personally, I would hold COHR if in for long term. On other hand the tax loss consequences might be compelling if you want to raise cash.

I am short term trader who plays stocks that I believe are going up long term. I am all cash for now. Being in cash for last two weeks is only smart move I have made since October. : )
