I think these examples really highlight the difference between trading and investing. Good traders will never cash in on stocks that make these kinds of moves. Good investors are willing to let cash sit in a barrel for years on end.

People love to tell the tale of Microsoft. "If you had invested $10,000 in 1986 you'd have $30 million right now." Yeah, sure, as if anyone who invested 10g would have let the first 100g ride.

It's all in what you like.
