well, you have a point about the RSI, but remember YHOO or the other i-nuts? they sure didn't worry much about their RSI's when they were running up. true, they made them to trade them, but as Livermore once said: money is made by sitting mostly. imagine e.g. holding a 'core position' in CSCO from the '90 low for a decade. not saying this is in the same league, because it probably isn't. i'm only saying that there are situations where B&H gives you better results than trading a lot. unless you can foresee every wiggle. check the chart of DROOY and guess WHEN traders on kitco said "those that didn't sell today will regret it". for a gold rush example extra-ordinaire look at Western Areas in '93 - '94 (it went even a few bucks higher in '96): bigcharts.marketwatch.com hope you're doing well too... hb
