JDN...some very good advice to Garcia.

Unfortunately, get rich quick schemes can be very alluring.

I wonder how many investors/traders set portfolio strategies,
with realistic expectations for returns.

Earlier this year (CPQ@30) some persons on the thread felt a 30%
return for CPQ, during DEC acquisition, would be very positive. Others were disappointed that CPQ didn't hit 70 by July.

Due diligence and a judicious perspective of reality can often be overlooked in the market frenzy.

I like your suggestion for PLAB.

A health care mutual fund, VGHCX, is also a good investment, considering the demographics.
