Bob has really been using Coke to contrast his investment philosophy. His point was about valuations and that the price one buys stock is important. When he started picking on Coke, it was around 100. It may drop to a point it is worth buying again. Another stock, Bob used to talk about its high valuation is Intel. He sold in the high nineties. Saturday he said he got back in to it (at least for a little while) when it dropped to 69+. So price is important! Look at the investor who didn't worry about price and got into one of the fools recommendations - oxford health. It would have been easy to get into it at 75 during the four months before October. In mid October, it crashed and they sold it at 25. fool.com

3-4 years ago, nobody had heard of the fools. So we can only talk about what they are recommending now. Dipy.

You don't lose or make monies until you sell. If you bought at just under $30 and sold recently you lost. I am a believer in BB and he is generally right on. No one can be perfect..but I do believe if you hold the stock for the next 12 months you will be ok. Or you can buy an equal amount that you have and cost average and get out sooner. By the way it is always wise to listen to differing opinions and then make your own investment decisions.
