I admit the positions I took out originally in 06' (and still own today) TIE, CHAP, AAPL, GOOG, HANS were risky and not the smartest move, but it worked. Yes the rally bailed me out, but I expecteded the market to rebound, which is why I made it clear that I was holding. The selling was simply irrational. The fed wasn't going to keep raising rates. $70+ oil was too high. The fundamentals such as earnings were stronger than ever.
I probably wold have been better off investing in a strong ETF like DDM instead of Hans, but overall with the expection of Hans my other four picks went up. AAPL and HANS more than doubled so I consider the case study to be a success.
