Turboe: You hit the nail on the head. But there is a mysterious contradiction to the Greed factor and that is the 'conservative buy n' hold' strategy. Would you consider a person who tends to buy and hold greedy for doing that?

Here are a few 'if looks could kill charts' that will make you ponder the whys and wherefores of buying pennies and holding them.

With the last one (Bowflex), I gave up in early August of last year after holding for 8 months. I had 1000 shares. It still pains me to look at that chart.
