Did you read last nights Motley Fool on Amazon? I did read it and the first thing I should say is that I really respect what TMF has done to amuse, educate etc etc. But there is one bug bear I have; they always talk down the issue of timing (a good stock is a good stock today or tomorrow). While I understand the principles involved in such a position, there have to be times when you bend a little or at the very least accept that there will be the exception that proves the rule. What they do with their money is up to them but to leave it on a table that is losing legs by the day (and as a consequence encouraging others to do so) is folly (apologies). There are times when you need to be able to time an exit and this is one of them. The sadness is that they seem (at this point) too inflexible to accept this.... T
