>>>Going forward the plan was buy quality and hold a significant long positions and not get cute - Opposite of previous years.<<< Ahem. You sure got cute (and to your credit) for dumping BTU.

I have two major accounts, the regular and the tax deferred. I took profits on my oil/gas stocks in the regular accounts, but I also took additional position in my tax deferred at prices when oil was at $ 70. Reasoning? LTBH on tax deferred in which I hardly traded. Now, I have to rethink where LTBH has a place in the investing world. Yes, when I was a little boy, my Mama told me Son: always be a good boy, never trade in and out, but do LTBH. That was a long time ago ... and when I hear that train is rolling, I bow my head and cry ... Oh Jonny ...

I just ran ten-year charts for a bunch of energy names; all seemed to have terrific returns for the LTBH crowd, despite the wild gyrations. Assuming your definition of LT is more than a year or two, which stocks do you think fail to make the grade?

Back to holding core positions and trading 1/3 to 1/2 of it seasonally. What was I thinking? This is my present mode of varying my loading. I made the same mistake in early 2002, saying I was too busy and it was not worth the effort. Mid August I decided what are the chances of no hurricane impact and is it worth sitting 100% loaded if not hurricanes save the day? As it turns our no GOM action and a bearish cool September. I want to buy now, I am not so concerned on the oily side. But the gas side is very difficult to understand. I think some production is already being held back, so we could be getting bearish injections now with weak draws when the cold arrives. We have a LONG way to the first draw. Every body and there brother wants to get on the ng upswing. One good private forecast for a cold November would be a market mover IMO.
