Don, so you don't want to make the bet because long-term trends don't concern you. I call that fidgety trading, worried about every 5 points, get in, get out. I'm sure you're churning a lot of bad trades with that style. That's why you can't be concerned about a 12 month horizon. You're nervous about every day - up, down, all-around. You had to miss many, many long-term opportunities over the "decades of watching the market." You must kick yourself for that. I know, I know - you're going to tell me that you have survived all the ups and downs of the marketplace and you're still around to trade for that 5 points another day. Different strokes for different folks. That's what makes a market. But I do wish you genuine good luck in your trading. I hope you wish us longs good luck in our holding. jmanvegas

most "investors" here wish they had sold Rambus when it was in the 90's - 100 I admit I thought it had got ahead of itself at that time and considered a sale. I decided to wait at least until it would be taxed at a capital gains instead of regular income. I figured I could ride out a 20% decline with no real loss. Regrets are minor though since I think I would have more regrets if I were out of the stock before the next surge.
