Q: I am hoping you can address this question ( I know it might be difficult to answer) in your comments you mention "you are comfortable good long term" is there anyway to define this .i.e. next 1, 2 or 3 year - I know no one has a crystal ball. Second point I have always used the philosophy if you get a bad quarter usually a concern "cockroach theory" time to move on and find something else especially if you are in the stock. So if you have companies that report a poor quarter - would you use this approach especially if you want to outperform the market (more of a earnings and price momentum style). Thanks.
