Dinesh, Thank you for running those other tax-timing scenarios. Having seen the reaction to my post about that, I as going to do the same. You saved me the trouble. In the spirit of open disclosure, your scenario of selling every two years resulted in a much lower number than mine. And your scenario of selling only once at the end of the thirty-year period resulted in an insignificantly lower number than mine, so slight that it might be explained by rounding differences. It's not worth pursuing the cause of the differing results. The results of your number crunching continues to support the observation that short-term strategies must achieve far higher pre-tax returns to achieve the after-tax returns of the longer-term strategies. --Mike Buckley

At the risk of being off thread... One idea for those who want to play G&K with a shorter-term range is to move any 401K investments into a Rollover IRA brokerage account. I just recently switch jobs and I did exactly this instead of moving my money into my new companies 401K. This allows me to use my retirement account as a potential "scout". If an investment looks to have legs, I can make a long-term purchase in my non-tax deferred account. Until then, I can aggressive trade in my tax deferred IRA.
