Trade them only. I agree - I'm also starting to believe that all technology small and mid caps are good for trading ONLY. The blue chippers are the buy and holds. Just my opinion.

Actually. The perception is more important than reality sometime. In this case, remember one thing. Steve Ballmer is the #2 in MSFT. For him to say what he said and the way he said it is enough to move people away and buyers from getting in. Whether he was taken out of contact or not. If DePuy can take CHKPF down, what kind of effect does Ballmer has on investors.
