Dear Paul,
Analysis fascinating. (Also what fun to have been made "famous" along with Venkie and LongonDell for our comments.)
NowI can see a few exceptions, which dont actually apply to me at this point anyway.
l. would be if you actually wanted to live off your trading profits: would it be more profitable to buy and sell and take some money out for spending money, or just buy and hold and occasionally sell a few shares?
2. interested in the analysis (e.g. TLAB for an IRA account with active trading, as someone else asked.) except that how can one assume one would pick the "right " time to get in and out????? Ah yes, the million dollar question.
3. if you were lucky enough to sell near the high for a stock like wdc and then it never gave another buy signal, how happy you would be!!!!!

Keynes: the person who gave the intellectual elite and professorial types of this country a reason to be communist in theory without calling it that.
Von Mises and Freeman: guys who recognized that the reason the U.S. is what is it is today is because it is still resting on the laurels of a once free society with a once freeish market. In that market entrepreneurs could count on keeping their profit and so were motivated to explore, experiment and come up with new and better ideas. Of course it would have been nice if the gov had kept out of it then too (and not sided with railroads or employers as it later did with employees) its gotten much more restrictive against entrepreneurs and much harder to run one's own business and count on making and keeping a profit. Witness the hell the "non Just department" is even putting Bill Gates through. (And unfortunately he is still not a Libertarian, even though we are the only ones supporting him so far.)
Sounds like I should have known about TLAB, sounds like a great performer.
