My stock is still kicking along. slowly. but steadily. And I just sold off a bunch of my bonds. But it made more sense to sell the bonds and pay off my credit cards (ok, a couple of em, anway). They'll make me more money that way.
I've discovered that if you have high intersest, making minimal interest on stocks/bonds is freakin stupid. sell it. pay off your loans, then go at it again free and clear.
