    Alright, with excess cash today I bought 80 more shares of Glaxo, GSK, the huge British pharma at 41.14 per share. And 100 shares of AT&T for 33.20.

    Unfortunately I missed the recent plunge where GSK was 39 and ATT was 30, for I said I would buy the very next day, and the very next day rose sharply. I have a rule to buy the next day on a plunge, but seems to have not worked on this occasion. The rule
    was that a plunge would only worsen more and so wait a day. So, maybe it is time to reevaluate this rule. Perhaps what I saw that one day was a Rout, not a plunge, and if another rout occurs, do not wait a day.
