Tommy, hey, how are you? You're right again! It's not the problem to find the winners, it's the key to miss the losers. I lost a good part of my profits thanks SAP, BA and ADPT. However, I could have made money with ADPT - when I had sold the right time, the same with BA. SAP was in red with nearly 50% for a while, now I'm "in" with about 15% (calls and stocks) and a recent loss of about 25%, adding every day. Yesterday 2 well known US-funds went out, that gaves (me) a buying-opp. (or an opp for "optimizing" my losses?) Sorry for that SAP-desaster, but this dip was partly made in US, fellow Germans just did what big brother said, partly from the fact, that SAP doesn't grow more than 40% yearly. If you own stocks: stay in! 40% every year... Jury
