If selling NTAP in the 130's and buying it again in the low 100's is an "itchy trigger finger".. so be it. I am also happy I sold most of my NT in the mid 60's. The market has made me what I am right now. I am back to my 'old' style of taking gains when the time seems right (or 'wrong' .. i.e. the market is looking weak). If that's "itchy" .. so be it :) Capital preservation (and share accumulation - at cheaper prices if probable) is pretty important. Tax implications? Also, have you charted how this style works against had you bought and held? Dr.Id@justcurious.com

You may be trading Gorillas, but you are not playing the Gorilla Game. Just wanted to point that out here on the Gorilla Game thread.

Mtnlady, I'm a little late with a comment, but if I'd had a little more "itch" and a lot less "greed" nine months ago, and six months ago, and in the past 30 days, with a littl bit of luck I'd be a lot further ahead, in shares, net account value, and of course, paying more to our favorite uncle. Well, maybe not our favorite. As it is, I'm certainly ahead of a year ago, but on balance, the LTB&H idea (which I haven't practiced except with GMST) has and would have worked less well than some of the trading you've done. Please signal me with your moves. I may not follow them exactly, but they may reinforce my own instincts. Chaz
