Cato,

Please understand, there are no "loser attitude" or "winner attitudes" in this market. this is a market that rewards execution by management and severely punishes a lack of that. My guess isthat Garcia had bet on mis-management before and is betting on the right management now. If you have any points to refute that, I look forward to listening them.

couldn't disagree with you more...cgarcia was not wrong to buy aol at its high if he is an investor, he wasn't trying to market time.....If someone with a higher cost can hold on, they will do just fine...As a matter of fact, except for the last 8 weeks, never single trade on aol at its high prior to that is profitable, most are profitable dramatically
