And for the last 4 month, investment in LU and MSFT is losing money. So what is your point. There are many other stocks that are like holding water with a broken pot, keeps dropping in sunny days and only go up when it rains (which is very rare here in California).

Scumbria,
Hey, I have a 23+ point profit. Better than a kick in the pants.
Should I sell now or wait for 110? JDN said it all, when the big ship starts to turn up...it runs for a while.
Did you help us by covering your INTC shorts?

Jim

Scumbria,

RE: For the last 16 months, INTC has been as good as a shoebox for holding money. At least for those hardy souls who stuck it out.

You keep on missing the point as to why some of us like Intel. Instead of looking back one year, why don't you look back two? A lot of tech stocks lost up to 80% of their value in September, and have only managed to recover about half of their losses so far. Intel, on the other hand, continued to sail straight and level through the storm. Somebody else said it: Intel is like a big ocean liner--once its sets a course, there's not much that can change it, short of a real tsumai.
