Anybody still hold any of these?

God Bless

RodMeister,

I was never fortunate enough to own them. Can you please tell me why you sold them?

Thanks

I sold them because they were laggards and the sectors were weak. Fortunately for me, I sold HD the day after the resignation of the CEO- when shares rose 3%.

I should have sold WMT in Oct when it hit 51.

WMT began 2006 @ 46.23 and ended at 47.55

HD began 2006 @ 41.57 and ended at 41.07

They are each now at 48.08 and 40.83, respectively.

I could have made a few more pennies on WMT, but overall I feel I made a good call.

I now have my eye out for a good tech stock. (CSCO perhaps???)

look at a 10 yr chart of WMT...

I would not want to be a buy and hold of that stock...

I think now would be a good time to buy HD since housing has pretty well hit bottom and can only go up from here... especially with summer around the corner.

BUT, I'm through with it.

I've been accumulating HD since 7/15/02 when I paid 29.87. Since then I have added more shares at; 25.44, 28.22, 38.78, 33.05, 34.56, and will more than likely buy more real soon. I'm holding out for the $50 pop and then a 2 for 1 split.

I've been toying (thinking about) with Black Box Corp.

Started a HD DRiP for my daughter when she was born in 1998. Don't have a lot, but have been holding since. Not too thrilled with the performance, but I plan on holding for a long long time.

It should pick up in the summer.

Hoping for a pickup through the summer of 2017.

Otherwise, I know of a good truck driving school my daughter can go to.

Hey, Warren gobbled up some USG in October at $46, and I see it's still at $53, with a mean recommendation of 1.5, and a 1 yr target of $70....somebody loan me some money!
