I also lost faith in MCD about the same time and have missed the runup after as well. You can't win them all I guess...

I've lost so much money on GE in the past I don't think I'd EVER be able to buy it once again...no matter who they put in charge or change. Its personal...

I do that as well Lance ---- I don't think I've owned GE since Jack Welch retired - I made money with him. Now -- I think GE is too "all over the map" business wise. They need to sell off some assets and be good at a couple things vs all the different businesses they're in.

I had started thinking about dropping MCD but was in no hurry. They turned around right before I was going to sell so I figured I'd see where it went. I'm wishing I had more faith when they were down to put more money in them then.

Also on the discussion of timing, I missed AT&T's bounce. It's about time for me to make another purchase in general. I was taking my time again while deciding if I wanted to put this round into an existing holding or add V or SQ or both now. I should have just adding to T since it was down and called it a day. Oh well.

I was thinking about bringing up T... Nice day today...

I was pondering if it was time to sell it a week or so ago, sure glad my buy and hold strategy kept me from doing so.

Now, if only the oil stocks would do the same...

... and I missed VZ's bounce, too.

Choose good names and get in there or you won't make anything.

Glad I bought a bunch of Caterpillar a while back.
