Sniper pulls the trigger

A friend and colleague recently described my investing strategy back to me as sniping. I had chosen my target companies, and for each one of them I had identified a target price.  The cross-hairs were set and I was ready.  The trigger finger was not particularly twitchy, but it was ready to fire the moment that something appeared in the sights.

Anyway, I recently went traveling, and so was pretty much off line for about a month.  Knowing that this was  going to be the case, I decided that I'd put in some low-ball buy orders on the market before I went, just in case a stock market crash occurred while I was away.  I won't be so bold as to say that that was a prediction - well - the crash was, but not the timing.
