As an old timer, I am enjoying the thread very much. It seems some people want to kill the messenger. My experiencce has shown that Positive thinking is a distinct quality to develop, but the Positive thinking must be about our ability to solve problems and process information. You can hope or think positive about a stock rising for the rest of your life, but the only thing that will pay off is if the company is perceived to be a money maker. We need all of the info we can get on both sides of the issue. If you must margin, it is better to margin a stock at 29 than at 60. If you really do your homework and are fully convinced you have found the real value stock, then be happy if the price gets lower because you can add more shares and lower your cost for an eventual profit increase. If you bought a home that you considered a real buy at $200,000 and then a neighbor got divorced and sold the same model for $175,000 , you certainly wouldnt panic and sell for $145,000 . Yankee Gil
