Just an observation on time frames and horizons: In my business (civil litigation), everything seems to turn on 30 day cycles (e.g. thirty days to answer a complaint or to respond to interrogatories. Various cut-offs are thirty days before trial, etc.) As a result of living in a never ending array of "30 days", I don't get too excited about a 6 month horizon for these stocks to turn around. TEMPUS FUGIT, for you Latin buffs. Psychologically, I HATE it when any stocks have fallen below my average purchase price. But, if I see value and bought for intelligent reasons in the first place, I'm not likely to take a hefty loss just so that I can try to make some $ elsewhere, starting, effectively, down...If Thean is right about a turnaround in 6 months, I'd be a very happy camper. mph
