Not sure I can agree with that last rule... if I'd followed that strategy, I wouldn't be holding EPB right now for example, because it hit your sell criteria, but not sure it would have qualified to buy back yet and in the meantime, I'd have missed out on the compounding divvies I reinvested, etc. I don't want to sell any of my winners -- and EPB has been a winner for me in total return as well as divvy/yield. Buying back at lower prices sounds like a good thing, but in the real world, doesn't always work out... esp. in these days of HFT trading where the charts seem to be less and less relevant... HFT trading has really shaken my confidence in charts... When I bought EPB, it wasn't considered cheap or a value at the time (18s)... I just bought it and have never looked back. I've found that swing trading income/divvy growth stocks just doesn't seem to work for me. However, stocks (like CEN.to) are a different story and swing trading has worked very well -- I think you need a different type of stock to swing trade from the stocks that are good income/divvy plays. Choose stocks that fit the intended trading style for best results, IMO. Jim
