<<ALERT>> just called the company #1 WL April27 and earnings play is reporting after the close today. You might want to consider this but remember, holding through earnings can be hazardous to your financial health.. Also left message with SDLI.. even though I sold a good buy after the very first correction. But still its been one of chunk today, supposed to be reporting today. This stock should have been a hold since January of their last report. If it has a good report it will probably sell off with profit taking but should be a the 5 top performing stocks I've owned 1998-99 so far. Stock #6 and 5 (WL 4/27) continuing the buck the trend as NASDAQ retreats.I've been very impressed with #6 for a while but this is the first time I had it on the watch list. Stock #5 just got through a swing trade with this one, good performer.

Belinda, If your looking to hold long term than holding may be a good idea with stops in place. You need to figure out if you have any tax implications (401K's and IRA's don't). If it's in a taxable account will it drop more than the 28% tax (if your in that bracket and it's a short term hold) you'd have to pay up. My timing is 50-50 so don't go by what I'm doing. I heard Jerry Favors yesterday and he's 100% cash waiting for a correction. I don't know how long he's been in cash, but if it's been a while he may just wind up buying where he got out if there is a correction. LU and AOL are great stocks - AOL is reporting and that throws in another factor. Dow is up 120, NAZ barely down as of 11:15. My take is to protect profits and DEFINITELY principle. My only problem is the mutuals in my 401K - I'll get the 4:00 pm closing price when I sell, but also wouldn't be able to buy back until the 4:00 pm closing in the next sessions so there's no way to set stops or pick your price. Decsisions, decisions

OT*Belinda S,if you are holding long term you dont sell em.If you are Long term and nervous then hold only proven hi quality industry leaders like LU,AOL,MSFT,WMT,T,etc...Buy and hold will make you earn much more than trading in and out but it aint as fun or exciting-remember the tortoise and the hare story?.If i had held on to my first purchase of ORCL in 1991 that 30g of orcl would now be worth5-6 million!!ditto for PSFT,TLAB,DELL....If you want to trade also just buy 100 shares of each of jenna's picks and exit when she says.I think shes got a great service and she does the thinking for you so all u gotta do is execute the order
