Hossein, I had the same thoughts looking back on DEC but still think it would have been a good hold if not for the SEA meltdown. I mentioned before I usually trade stock, pretty much in line with your 20% target, but DEC was my one "investment" I wouldn't sell due to its greatly improved forward fundamentals. This was obviously the big mistake - I fell in love with the stock, the market is not rational. Previous to your post, I've already written a note on my computer saying "thou shall trade, thou shalt not invest". As for DEC's recent action not even partaking in the recent rally (which certainly would be a sucker rally with SEA being real - if the market were rational ;-)), seems like everyone has more confidence in it going down before it goes up again. Oh well, we'll have another chance at it this year. best to you, Tom
