Ibexx, as a long term holder of many of the technology winners, what is your strategy for dealing with the volatility? Many of these stock have wild yearly swings. Selling when they get overextended is one strategy but that only makes uncle sam rich and risks being out of stock on extended up move. Another strategy would be the use of margin - maximizing it during dips and minimizing it during rises (which would involve trading a portion of position) Other strategies involve puts or covered calls during extended runups. There may be others. Which strategy do you prefer? Thanks and best regards, Gary
