Yeah --- I had a HUGE amount of MSFT shares.... but I scaled out of them on a regular basis and re-invested in other stuff. Sometimes I look back and say -- if I hadn't sold at "X"... I'd have had double the amount of dough.... and then I look at my friends that are still holding and rode it down to a third of "what they had"... I'm retired - they're not.
