Don... I'm glad you gave us your explanation. I do much the same thing. Every once in a while (great while) I actually get the bottom and top right, or very close to them. Makes me giddy. Biggest boo-boo....buying ADBE just before it gapped down from 24 to 16 last July/Aug. chaz

Don Earl: You must be my opposite. Mostly I am a fast buyer and a slow seller. If your geographical base or financial situation is such that you are subject to the favorable difference US tax rates provide for long-term gains then you must believe your short-term trades overcome the tax breaks that could occur with a buy-and-hold approach. If you are so quick to sell for a profit, are you also that quick to sell when a stock goes against you after you've bought? Since you're buying value stocks, presumably those stocks might be even better values at lower prices.
