I approach this question for all with some trepidation...responses may range from attaboy to nowjestadangminit.

What, in your various opinions, is a reasonable annual return a G&K investor should:

a) be happy with
b) reasonably expect
c) shoot for

I'll tell you mine. a) 30% b) 50% c)100%

Leads me to think that once one of these is attained, preferably c) of course, would it make sense to dump and await the next inevitable correction, then buy back in, or take some money off the table, to dry out for a correction. I'm talking strategy here, and wondering if something like this might make sense. Options, and short sells really scare me because they put money at risk levels I couldn't handle emotionally.

Lindy: Have you considered hawking your first class, frequent flyer return seat for one in coach...you know, my ticket for yours plus cab fare home. Might help you out in your current pinch.
