I sold all my stocks at DOW 13800 in 2007, then kicked myself into 2-year CDs at 4.30% toward the end of last year. I get 98 for BA, 42+ for T and 45+ for VZ. I am still beating the S&P by more than 40% since I sold. Why should I worry about missing this rally?

BTW, where did you do your selling, little man?]]>
