Greg, Slider dumped most of his OSX shares!! This is most tragic. In all fairness it is most probably caused by his evil twin Diamond's daily tormenting. I don't want to laugh at someone else misfortune but we should really learn a hard lesson here - the lack of discipline is the best recipe for personal financial disaster. He needs to decide really quickly here if he still believes in his own buy-and-hold/buy-on-every-dip system. If so the decision is easy - just buy back what he sold and maybe even switch over to some better quality names and recharge. In this case all he lost is a few percentage point. Really no big deal. But if he is indecisive and try to switch gameplan and learn to play mo-mo then he is doomed (definitely emotionally but hopefully not physically). Again it highlights the pitfall and irony for a stock forum where one's own belief can be swayed by personal attack and tormenting by others. When pride gets hurt, emotion takes over and decision making skill becomes blurred. Here on this thread we operate more like in the good old SD days where personal attack is meant for a banter or two. Right LT? LTD = LT's doomed. Shelia - thanks for taking time off to update on the evil twin tower.
