>>What has influenced the size of my position, accumulated since April, is my attention to the different rumors about how this stock will take off, first in May, then June, then in July, now maybe in August.....my attention to these rumors and the fact that I allow them to inform my decisions as a trader and investor.<< It's interesting. The great majority of the time such rumors turn out not to be true, at least in the predicted time frame. However, the lure of short term profits (should the rumor prove true) is so great that we buy. Of course even if only 1 in 4 of the rumors turns out to be true, we may do very well. So we wait and hope. HDIE is better than most in this regard since its long term prospects are very bright. But then, as you said, we would be holding a good bit less if we were thinking only long term.
