Stash ... what a sweet response. I don't feel particularly astute, especially when I read how much money people are making in a single day. Sometimes it makes me rash and I jump in, where normally I would fear to tread. But I have found that my slow, small but steady investment in some of the really good blue chips, but downtrodden, has paid off handsomely in the long term. Of course, I have made some huge mistakes by selling off all or half of my positions, since these have kept climbing. But a profit is a profit, so I try not to look back - unless an opportunity presents itself, and then I will go back in. I had mistakenly sold off INTC at 90 (had bought it around 72)... so when it went to 115 and dropped down, I put in an open order around 107 and it filled. Pure luck ... but it sure makes me look like I know what I am doing. Thanks, again.
