Mile, A couple of years ago I would have argued with you on that point. But I heard a discussion of analysts calls and how they affect stock prices and there was statistical evidence to show that short term you make more money if you "don't fight it" and go with the flow. Kurlak basically kept INTC in a trading range from the first half of 97 thru the 1st half of 98. I would imagine quite a few of the posters on this thread (myself included) wish they had sold RMBS on the Edelstone downgrade. I'd be buying back right now with a ton of RMBS profits had I sold then. Just another way to leverage your position as opposed to riding out the volatility. Of course we are all looking at this in rear view mirrow with 20/20....coulda woulda shoulda..... I still believe if you consider the long term prospects very good for your particular stock you can buy the dips and make out quite well, but frankly I'm concluding in tech issues, it's when you sell that counts. The cyclicality is becoming all too predictable. bp
