Ah Wizard Weiss, You've come round to the very nub of my original query:
Yes, how does one know when to sell a formerly GOOFS stock ? Its the question I have been seeking an answer to since my initial posting here at #235. I know if I am patient enough, I will know after the fact when I should have sold, having completed the full "GOOFS-LOOP" that the astounding NGW referred to, some time back. But that is of little value, very little value, perhaps negative value. I know that the best time to sell in retrospect is the time when one feels most compelled to buy. One has to get twisted in order to get it straight. But then I normally succumb to the inner desires for wealth (yes greed and avarice are among my many virtues). Perhaps I should aspire to be poor, absolutely destitute, free of any material bonds and then free to sell for fear of becoming bonded by wealth. But still there's no timing trigger to know when. Perhaps this question has no answer. I'll bet Janice knows, but she doesn't seem to want to talk over here, despite my many pleas.
