OT Lee, that's great news, not a bummer! Now you need to adjust for taxes and the difference will get even larger. Try this: assume a growth rate for a stock (any growth rate will do). Now assume that you are a trader and so pay taxes annually on your gain (28%). Now assume you buy the same stock at the same growth rate. Do this for a 10 year period of time, and then pay taxes at 18% and look at the difference annualized. Here's an example: Suppose we are talking 20% over 10 years. As a buy and holder you would net (annualized after taxes) 18.05%. But if you were a trader, you would net 14.4% after tax. That means that for the trader to merely do as well as the buy and holder he would need to gross 25.07%. Do try this at home kids!!! TTFN, CTC
