Entirely true to form. Arrogance combined with almost unbearable stupidity.

I will use your numbers in the hopes you can understand.

Alternative A: You buy 1000 shares of PWI at $7.00 for an investment of $7000. It drops to $5.95. You hold it. It is now worth $7.04. You have a gain of $40.00 from your original investment of $7000.

Alternative B: You buy 1000 shares of PWI at $7.00 for an investment of $7000. It drops to $5.95. You sell it and use your $5950 to buy 721 shares of PVE at $8.25. PVE is now worth $10.60, so your 721 shares are worth $7642, for a gain of $642.00 from your original investment of $7000.

In your examples you calculate PWI's gain from a $5950 starting point,

----- I see that for your alternative A you simply leave out the fact that I say you buy more and much more at the lows. So while you mislead by not telling the whole story of what I had said by buying at accumulating at the lows. So for a simpleton such as yourself you add the gains made from buying at the lows plus the gains from the unit value returning to where it was before or higher. You leave the first part out as usual. ADD THAT IN LIKE I DID IN MY EXAMPLES. Your assertion was that selling at a loss and switching to another would always give better results. What I said plainly and clearly was that if one hung in their and accumulated at the lows that addition would ensure far better results when the unit prices recovered. And that is what my numbers show. PERIOD. You are true to form as usual when you can't support your claim simply change the others claim then you win. Your not fooling anyone -----------

and calculate the other examples from a $7000 starting point.

------ recheck all examples were calculated using the total number of units bought and the average cost
""""For P his buying and buying again the same 1 trust on weakness his gain is 41220 - 36000 or +$5220 or +14.5%. P's gain is more than L's gain""""""-------

This is either plain stupidity or intentionally misleading. I've calculated both examples from the same starting point, namely the original $7000 investment.

------- And as usual you leave out the main part of my premise. That you buy on weakness to lower your cost base. As above clearly shows 7000 + 29000 = 36000. SO AS USUAL THE STUPIDITY AND MISLEADING IS SOLELY COMING FROM YOU !!!-----

You're WRONG Peter. That terrible, ugly, word which drives you crazy. Now you can spend the rest of the day confirming over and over again how incredibly stupid and arrogant you are. Let's hear it.

------ SO AS USUAL MY ORIGINAL NUMBERS STAND AS DOES MY CONCLUSION. SWITCHING DOES NOT WORK AS YOU CLAIM. AND ACCUMULATING ON WEAKNESS LOWERING ONES COST BASE STAYING WITH ONE TRUST DOES. ------ Such a lame attempt on your part ----
You tried pulling the exact same stunt by saying that buy/hold doesn't work. You failed to remember that I buy/hold/accumualte on weakness and that works. Why can't you do apple to apple comparisons? Instead of your trademark apples to oranges. Then claim how right you are? NO ONE IS BUYING INTO YOUR LIES. --------------
------ As more added proof

"""All the WG reasons for buying PIF.UN still seem to be valid.I think I'll go with peter on this one and hold""""""
----- No eagerness to do the switching thing here and the unit price has been somewhat stable since then. With minor weaknesses and recoveries. Which could have been taken advantage of.---------
