Mohan, I don't know how much I can teach anyone on this thread, because you all seem pretty experienced and certainly experienced enough to have determined your investing style. I think that more than anything you have to stick to your own style or you will be unhappy and nervous. Long-term investing is for me the only kind I can understand. I don't have the personality type required to be a trader - I have to understand the company I'm buying and understand that there is a growth path and a business plan that supports it. If I see such a path and a plan, I can't understand selling the stock after a few points rise. My style is to buy for the long term and evaluate periodically if a company is living up to my expectations. If they aren't, I sell regardless of gain or loss. I keep the ones that continue to have the path and the plan, again regardless of gain or loss. Often, the ones with the path and the plan are short-term winners as well, but not always - take Intel over much of the past year or so. As for Brazil, I'm not overly worried. I just want to point out that there are still concerns. Brazil won't make me sell the stocks of companies that have the path and plan. I just like to factor all the information I can get into determining whether a company still has that path and plan. Musea is an amalgamation of Muse and something else. You're very quick. I'm a musician by trade, a technologist by training and an investor by necessity. -musea
