ralph: excellent post. I love this thread -- it's the most heads-up group of investors I've ever encountered.

Your post prompts me to reiterate one of my permanent themes:

In my experience, for what it's worth, buying and holding the stock of a quality company will overcome every other error of whatever sort (bad timing, too much margin, etc., etc.).

Quality company =

1. Good record of generating cash;

2. Solid margins, ROE, and balance sheet;

3. Credible, shareholder-friendly, management

4.Good products/services, preferably (though not necessarily) market dominating.

In other words, PAIR!

This is all you will ever need in an investment -- capitalism will do the rest.

Thanks again,
