Tonto I think you should recommend a stock based upon what you believe - not what others believe or what the existing pattern of trading or long non-trading may be. One doesn't travel with a bunch of thiefs & engage in looting houses if one really believes this is wrong - just to be included with the group. i consider it to be the honorable thing to stand up for what one believes in & knows is right even if you are greatly out-numbered. This doesn't mean however that one doesn't listen to the opinions of others to help decide what is right for you - to consider possibilities & information that perhaps one has not even considered or been exposed to!

Regarding prostate cancer, as a general rough rule of thumb, surgery is usually recommended for patients under 70, possibly with some radiation. Radiation is suggested for most patients over 70. In the end the decision rests with both the doctor & patient coming to a mutually satisfactory decision.
