MIke and Jimmyo: more crap from Al G., but, perhaps it may make sense. Firstly: People from certain parts of the country have very strong personalities and friendships. They are not betrayed easily or quick to end long term friendships. That personality extends to investements, however, it may not be the best strategy. Honorable, yes, maybe in your own eyes, but, still not the best investment strategy. When an investment is made in a stock, the investor owns a piece of the company, however. it is a small piece and the investor has very little to say toward management. The investor is along for the ride. So, lets not kid ourselves, we as small time investors are here to make money. No other reason, TO MAKE MONEY! That is the bottom line. Is it prudent to invest, watch you money go up, then down, then up, then down, only to be at the same place as you were one year ago. C'mon, idle money has a value, if your money is no longer earning interest, you change banks. If people are less respectable for changing banks to make more money, then I am guilty. Cause my family comes first, my family is worth more to me than saying "I own a piece of Nextel, a company going nowhere fast, but, someday mapbe." If you are not in it for the money, the appreciation, the growth, then what can anyone say. When the money investment stops growing, change banks or ?. You can have your cake and eat it, give up that old addage, and adopt the new. " I want my cake, I am going to eat it, and I am willing to work for it." Al G., just negotiated a client's business deal, no fee to me, am I stupid or honorable? Who the F knows, but we all tredge on and make a living, huh? Family first, right?
