The only "net" stocks I hold over any given weekends are EGRP, VRIO, CMGI and now DBCC... the rest I try like heck to get rid of Thursday or Friday. I sleep better that way.

I am actually expecting a '29 crash scenario to happen sometime in the future. it won't be the same cause now they have the 80a rule, but i don't think it will happen until people are more into the market and less in 'banks savings accounts'. but who am i to say?

my reasoning for expecting a major crash is due to the new way people are evaluating stocks. not on the current financials, but on the future financials. I believe thats what happened in the '29 era. But I am not a finance person and am strickly trading as a hobby, and usually follow the valueline guidelines.

I am not a shorter and have never held a 'sell short' position, and frankly that sort of move scares me so I don't even do that sort of trading.

But in the long run I plan (at least this year) to hold and continue to buy shares.
