I believe that would be correct. To the emotionally weary: Investing is best done without emotion. It is business. On a gut level, I firmly believe WinStar will prove to be a phenomenal company. As an investor, I understand that market conditions, hedge funds and margin calls can wreak havoc with any stock, and this one is somewhat vulnerable (still) as it is in a growth/loss phase. As we see growth progressing, and decreasing losses continue, stability should improve. Nonetheless, there is money to be made in trading. I think over the years that many of you are long-term holders, and the huge swings can be frustrating. By the same token, that's what fuels the traders. So, as was already suggested, it would be best to a) hold and don't look for 2 years or b) trade on the movement, which will be upward trending overall. I personally have been doing both "a " and "b". This works quite well if you keep emotion out of the picture. Best regards to all! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
