BirdDog: I didn't think that someone who sold with the intention of buying back at a later date, was automatically considered a "Market Timer". I thought that was part of the definition of "capital preservation". Neither did I. In the post I referenced, you will note the alternative definiton of market timing: "it's the intent at the time of sale that is critical in determining if it is based on market timing", which is to say that if one sells purely because of profit motive with the intent to buy the stock back at a lower price, then this is market timing. The discussion at the time was around buying and selling based on extrinsic valuation rather than intrinsic gorillaness. Which is still not a well developed subject line. John.
