Thanks Jeff, but I think it's time to change my trading style. I notice most of the people who make a living at trading often don't hold stocks for very long. Since I now have enough money to 'quit the day job' when my contract is up, it is time for me to consider capital preservation as much as capital appreciation. I don't think I'll be holding stocks like ASTN through 30% dips any more. It was a gamble that paid off handsomely this time, but I probably won't be doing it again. I also won't be putting 80% of my money into one issue. I'll probably stumble for a while now as I shift from 'investor/speculator' to 'trader' We'll see. CD
