Oh I agree with you totally. By short termers I meant that this board is commonly flooded with the people who post like "ITS GONNA BLOW!!! $35/SHARE NEXT WEEK! OMG!!!" then wonder why their hopes are crushed when they bought during a downtrend. Just the nature of the beast, having those kind of people, I suppose.
I have been counting the days and did the math myself, also. I believe you are right, and did just the same (and continue to do the same): bought a lot and tucked them away.
