I have to agree with Diamond, Luc. The sell, sell, sell thing is getting old really quickly. Isn't there some kind of "I'm a Roaring Bear" thread you can post this to? You've raised a fundamental issue about investing - buy and hold vs. trade. No one knows who's right and who's wrong, but that's what makes a market. You've admitted you can't time, nor can any of us for that matter, which can make pulling everything you are out of the market a dangerous play. Dangerous only because it may be too safe and you could miss out on a bullish run. Baz P.S. Since we're fellow DELLheads (sometimes against, sometimes for), look at the stock's run. Even if it pulls back TEN points in a decline, we're still higher than we were four days ago! To time these kind of 4 and 5 day runs the stock has is nearly impossible. Some would argue the only way to win it - is to be IN it! Peace. Baz
