Bernard (or should I say, Dr. B ?<g>),

Thanks for the clarification. Interestingly, a couple months ago I read this book called something like Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett by Bruce Greenwald who charges something like $30k for a class he teaches at Columbia or NYU or somewhere in NY on value investing,
(found it on Amazon:
amazon.com

In the book he makes a very brief mention of how studies have shown that TA has shown to work best in 2 situations. Best as I can recall they were 1. in moving average crossovers and 2. breakouts from a channel (but don't quote me on this).

If you have time, could you address a couple issues?

1. Do you have a specific holding period, or do you "let your profits run and cut your losses short"?

2. Do you place stop losses, and if so do you have a system for doing that?

3. Do you keep detailed records to quantify your gains or losses, or do you do so well that you don't want to bother with the hassle of doing that?

4. Do you always use the 5 day and 200 day m/a for the crossover signals?

Thanks.
