Kudos to all who saw the transient battering of TGT shares as what they were, a gross exaggeration. I bought for a transient play, but should have stuck the shares in the long term hold pile. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. I'll not be a buyer until shares revisit under $60 again. Probably will be a long wait!
