you didn't say where you'll get out to cut your losses.... oh I forgot, you buy and hold. You're just a wannabe investor like 99% of the investor class. Sure you'll book the profit if it comes your way but you'll hold the loss indefinately...and if the worst comes to pass and your stock...

I refer you to my original post. If you read back you'll notice I was not pleading for suggestions, or help. I know what i did wrong, i just wanted to post so perhaps someone else may learn from my mistake. The original intent often gets muddled.

WD, i was very glad to read that you took responsiblity for not being in tune with the market rather than blaming the market for your underperformance...i'm sick of reading the whiners who say "it's sooo hard to make money now waaahhhhh" i'll have to try the house cleaning stuff when i...
