Edwarda:

"I was simply questioning the drag on one's returns from short-term trading in a taxable account;"

Not at all. As long as you buy back (if you even want it back) for less that your tax rate ON THE PROFIT ONLY, then it is a win. IE: you $50 per share and sell for $60 per share. Even if you are in the 39.6% bracket, you win as long as you buy it back for under $56.

"I hadn't even mentioned another, namely, commissions even with a discount broker."

You're kidding, right? $20 in and $20 out is JUST NOISE on a $10k to $100k trade!
