scott, buy and hold never died bro.people are just now realizing that we were all being lied to,by the likes of the cnbc talking heads mostly.if you could have cherry picked them. and there are quite a few that if bought08-09 and held till now,you could have blown away any of the best fund mgrs. around.q-cor for one,dltr the other. there are more that other folks know,and then tell themselves,”damn,if ionly held this that and not listened to him/her,i’d be up500%”. i think thats why people are starting to realize that buy and hold really isn’t a bad idea.
