I manage the real money for several guys that own seats on the floor of the NYSE. They lose sight of the big picture, watching daily movement. I am afraid you are too.
well, they are there daily. what else are they going to do? twiddle their thumbs?
they watch daily movements

IF i had money in "IT", I would try and time it. Buy low, sell high, right? you buy when you think it's around bottom and sell at around the top, if you can, OR sell sell sell if you have a good profit. There is always another buying opportunity. Always.

short term profits realized over and over again equate to higher ROI than long term holdings that are realized.
