i have seen Mark post before that a core holder in an individual equity...an investor who is not willing to move in and out..often is an indicator that the trend is getting close to over....I really can not remember exactly how he has worded this so pardon my lack of accuracy.
if I had to hold four stocks to 2008/2009 sometime and not move in and out
RIMM
AAPL
ICE
YZC
could be those four, though others compete for the spots like CSCO, INTC, GOOG etc...maybe BIDU, CCJ, NYX
------
ICE was a "fabulous seven" portfolio holding carried over from 2006 until the consolidation took the position to a close out signal, posted at end of this thread.. -
