lango: your actual investing appears (based only on what I know from what you choose to share here) much more conservative and disciplined than some of your playful rhetoric.
My actual investing has become more consistent. I have been more conservative in another account I manage, and it outperformed the hell outta mine last year :). I am capable of learning.
I feel a pretty good level of confidence in Apple's future, in fact I am thinking of buying some Jan 06 and Jan 07 LEAPS - maybe on the next dip. I am less confident in the near-term. I suspect there will one or more annoucements before the April earnings reportthat could move the share price, but I am not willing to back up that suspicion by much money at risk. I think the stock could just as easily fall somewhere in the 5-15% range. In fact, I have considered selling the majority of our shares and waiting for the inevitable dip - and if the shares contine to rise 2% or more a week, I will become increasingly likely to do so.
OTOH...... :), it is going to the moon, baby, to the moon.
Ron, satisficing decisions - they are a good thing.
