Things can change. A stock (or foreign exchange rate or whatever) can go sideways in a trading range for a while, and then break out (and bankrupt those "smarty-pants" who believe a trading range is forever). Jon.

As one who did - buy at $40 or so a couple of years ago - I am happy as a clam. Once upon a time I thought I was smart and agile enough to pick buy and sell points accurately. And I bought some stocks I thought had outstanding fundamentals to hold. The Q for me was, is, and will be a hold stock - unless the fundamentals change for the worse. But all the fundamentals do is change for the better. The company has been, is and probably will do just great. A truly unique company in a very very strong situation for long term growth. Some blips along the way in the stock price but when and exactly for how long those blips would last, I for one could not predict. Wish you well with your strategy but I have found over the years that multiple baggers come with choosing well and holding, viz Cisco in 1990 for which my base is 37 cents a share. Expect the Q will do well for me over next few years too. Cheers. Chaz
