I've always bought things for long runs, 2 to 3 years is short to me. This one so far is executing well and even though I prefer a dividend I think holding for a while longer is probably a good idea. Their latest purchase seems like a good long term investment, had I the money todays drop would make me consider buying more.

Oh my, we have slippage such a disaster. must sell, must buy, what is really important is looking at what is happening to the fundamentals of the company. Then we decide if anything important is happening. I suspect not most of the time this headless creature we call the market really doesn't know anything there are just to many headless chickens running and most of them are called day traders incouraged by brokers who make money off of every trade, win, lose, or draw. Be patient study your stocks, and their part of the market, look for the best, an hang in there.

Oh, and Analyist down graded the stock, Maybe I should run for the exit, and yelling abandon ship. Sorry not my style, am concerned that the current 10Q is late and there is no news on why, but with all of the current changes in laws maybe they are just being a bit conservative and checking everything over twice, plus they just bought another company it may be taking a bit of time to make sure they know all they need to know to be sure that everything is on the up and up. If I had a bit more money would problably buy a bit on this dip.

Time to buy more, will need to watch the price today but the first sign of a turn will be on it to purchase more.

Run for the hills the market is bouncing like a rubber ball but will people start dribbling or just let it decline, that is the question. If we are dribbling we might be getting ready to take a shot. If we are going to let it go out of bounds, may need to wait until we get the ball in bounded again. Hard call, but never seems to work out for me to sell.

Oh, such a suprise the health care bill passes and this stock goes up, such an amazing suprise?????

Didn't you here the health care bill has been bumped off the tracks again, the republicans in congress are determined to destroy the party to bad we can't recall all of them and send more intelligent members of the party into the offices they hold. It has always amazed me that any office of government can be held for more than two terms. How can you have a government of the people when you have professional politicans, doesn't make sense to me at all. Anyone who has been in office more than two terms is definitely not one of the people anymore, to much money is involved. No company in my opinion should be allow to have a representative living closer than a hundred miles of DC and the only transportation allowed into an out of DC should be either a bicycle or carriage. You can be assured that, that would change the complexion of the government. Oh an by the way the stock went up real fast so will come down real fast, but over the long run the small increases in the amount of business each day and the efforts of the people working there to improve the product will really end up determining the eventual value, look for the quarterly report and read it, much better indicator of the value of the stock than the day to day advance or drop. The price of a stock would be a lot less volitile if once you bought on you had to hold it for a minium of a year, but then day traders and shorters couldn't have nearly as much fun trying to scare the general public into thinking they made mistakes so that they will.
