I will try to answer your questions. When I retired in '93 I decided to go into the market with my lump sum retirement and my savings to try to make a little money. I SWORE that I would follow a few iron clad rules a] Don't loose money. b] no margin, no futures, no options, no puts, calls no options, no options. c] Buy and hold. Review every year. d] Goal is a growth rate of 10 % per year. e], f] have to do with the way I would analyze a stock. I have stuck with sunw so far because it has exceeded my minimum growth goal. But should I continue to hold it? Why not, I may be wrong. I can consider this not dead but lazy money; an insurance policy that will pay off if sunw is a big winner in 10 years. If the total yield goes down to 15 %, I will bail out. I have Bond Funds that yield 10 % and have a lot less risk. I am fond of my comparison of the sunw, nscp stratey as a Kamakazi attack. Consider the dedication of the pilots. Can you see the same on this or the nscp thread? Investing is not a religion. All I want to do is to make a little money. Gene
