I dunno know about that.
For some strange reason, I'm reminded about something that happened in the dot.com bubble. A guy posted (I forget where now) that he had borrowed $30,000 . . . And he asked "What do I do now?" . . . (My first impulse was to tell the guy to pay the money back - while he still could.)

Yep. One could have made a whole lot of money then . . . Or lost a whole lot.

I'm more of a 'Buy and Hold' kind of guy. I also favor companies that like to raise the dividend every year. (Giving me a hedge against inflation.) Look up 'Dividend Aristocrats' and 'Dividend Kings'.

Zim,

I probably should have tried to hire you to handle my stocks. I am my own worst enemy when I am working with stocks. I buy at the wrong time. I buy the wrong thing, for the wrong reason. I hold too long. I sell too early. And I get way too agitated -- at the wrong time!

If I only did the EXACT opposite of what I actually do I would, doubtless, be a billionaire.... ;-/
