Yes!! For my core investment, I do not care about this two dollar. If I sell, I just ends up with making Uncle Sam happier. But for my shoret term investment, 10% is a lot. Think about that if you make 10% every month (actually you may make 15%), i.e 2.5% in average per month,or 0.5% per day, then think about in one year what will be your % gain ? the answer is : (1 + 10%) 12 =314%, if you do that for five years, your gain is (314%) 5 =30525%, of course, you have to deduct 28% of capital gain tax every year!!!!!!!!! Did you see the power of mathematics? This can be reachable. So, just set up a goal for 10% every month and stick at it!!!!!!!!!
