For example, rather than purchase a "stockpile" of oil that does absolutely nothing for me, back in March I purchased 5 thousand shares of Ford at around $2. I sold half of them earlier this month for about $5.50. That'll pay for a nice trip to Italy this summer.
You may regret selling Ford at 5.50 when it hits 15.00 in 2010 or 2011 as I think it will.
