Thanks It would be exciting! One issue is I believe the programmed trading has sucked much of the return out of the market similar to my method but in fractions of pennies and gazillions of transactions. Without that sucking, we might be in the center of that pitchfork but I think all the 401K ma and pa investments were sucked out by those programs. Still, even if we just stay on the lower line (they don't fix it with a tiny transaction tax or something similar to make it unprofitable) that slope of the line we are on now is still a nice return.
