As I was saying when IBM and TXN came out, there is no conviction in this market. Companies that report earnings and forward statements that are really as good as could still end up falling.

Month to month is noise.... year to year might even be noise as I look at decades now. I'm getting paid a 36.0% dividend on the price I paid for the shares I bought with taxable money back in 1993. I bought Intel after I returned from Wescon and decided "regular people" besides just me using them successfully for engineering and cost accounting for my projects would find PCs useful for their work. I've also added shares in my trading IRA and ROTH IRA over time. I'll often buy first shares in the IRA and if I'm too early, buy the next tranche at the lower support level with my ROTH. I'll then over decades take profits in taxable accounts, pay the capital gains, put them into the ROTH to buy more when really low. Short term in my newsletter... I took profits at $66.57 then added when it was $51.92 and just missed taking profits on the last run. I don't get all bent out of shape not getting every rip or dip.
