In 1997 I made about 500 trades. In the end, all it brought me was a higher tax rate. Then you must have done pretty well. Or did you mean tax preparation rate. I do a lot of option trading so it's hard to avoid transaction costs; they pile up quick. But you are correct about long term investing. Just pick good companies with steady earnings growth and buy more on price weakness. Bank stocks are good for that....and you get dividend income as well. NTRS..... my favorite. If I think I have a good short-term shot, I buy a CALL or a PUT position. I immediately know my downside (especially handy if I want to short something), and the time element ensures that I don't marry the stock. Jane would love to hear that. TAXES? What cha gonna do? bk
