RE: Jim, if you start to act and think like an investor rather than a trader, you will see how devoid of logic your argument really is Chuzzlewit, I take it you understand what I am driving at. If you will go back and study a little history, You will find that Investing in Equities as measured by the popular indicies, you will find a 10-15% anual return on average. By trading, I hope to improve on this measure. If you look closely you will find out that for the past 4 years, we are way above that mark. A return to the mean will occure. This does not mean that DELL will go down. It means that in general, many portfolios that have seen above average growth will see a correction back to the mean. I am implying a time of under performance to bring the short term average down. I am not going to attack your assumption. I will add, it is just not that simple. The last 4 years have made it very easy. In time, expect a return to the mean. Jim
