For most users, maybe 3-5 years. Traditional computers will be required by some geeks, but most people will only need an appliance in a few years.

Sounds like a sell signal.

Indeed.....

Although not probable, my idea of buying a stock - is one I can own forever. My only regret was not buying $60K worth of Berkshire in 1984. What I did buy, paid for part of my home, and the rest I've bought since - I still own. That's not hindsight, that's misreading/misvaluing what I owned or was buying, on my part.

I messed-up not converting my DELL to happier hunting grounds, many years ago. Unfortunately, most of the DELL is invested in non-tax deferred / pre-tax paid IRAs. It has once again proven to me that too much portfolio asset diversification has it's negative consequences.

thx!
