Saleem,

Happy New Year!

Thanks for the encouragement. I came back from an oversea trip to see my portfolio up so much. I sold everything except FFIV and RVBD. They both took a beating today. I made wrong decision by added more FFIV at $112. Now, I am on FFIV heavily. I may sell half of it, if it is up a bit by tomorrow. Otherwise, I am just hold it for a while.

Well! you win some loose some. It is just part of the game. Now, I need to recoup and plan for the next move.

If you think it is not wise to keep FFIV anymore, please advise. We can better gain back our lost by invest wisely than keeping the under dog. Thanks as always.

Hi Michael,

The most important thing is that you have to be comfortable with what you own.....FFIV Sales picture is definitely a let down.

FFIV has been taken down much more than what was justified.....so there is a good chance of FFIV moving UP....

Volume in AH was almost 200% of daily volume....so hopefully bulk of the selling is out of the way...

FFIV is so LOW now that it CAN become a "takeover" candidate also.

BUT...your comfort level is what is important IF you want to keep all or part of your holding.

Like all FFIV investor/trader I will see what analyst target is now after today..then only i will be able to see what to do.

I will post IF i decide to sell part or all of my FFIV.....
