ensur[e] that you are almost always essentially in a hedged position to mitigate up or downside risk

No risk, no reward. If you are in the trade, it may be advantageous to mitigate all price volatility risk. But speculators and investors assume such risk voluntarily.

BWAC, I understand your commentary and how my short-term trading and long-term investing positions interact. I simply do not personally look at it in the same light. When I eventually begin trading with an overall bullish slant, the hedge goes away along with the argument IMO. In any case, good luck to you and may all your trades be winners!.
