stock2740.....

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your thoughts....and because I genuinely believe you expressed them out of a real desire to help a fellow investor.

You are absolutely correct in your assumptions in my opinion....yes there is risk here, after all there's risk everywhere, but both the near and long term potential are screaming out BUY AND HOLD. Given the trials and tribulations going back more than my 2 years (almost) here I can certainly understand the view that the promise land is fast approaching.

For what its worth, while I do make plans and have very firm opinions.....nothing with me is ever set in stone. Assuming we do get the January bounce that I (and others) are expecting, then I might just hold onto every single one of my shares....I'm thinking right now I might take some profits and re-invest them in something lower risk with a dividend....but I reserve the right to change my mind of course.

So thanks again stock2740 for sharing your view, the points you make are very valid and I hope you share more.
