If anyone is interested, I have posted the June'98 DELL Max-Pain Options Analysis. It was off last month due to the momentum. But other stocks in the study have tracked well, once their momentum wore off. Ben A. pipeline.com

It is fairly simple, what I mean when comparing rate of returns. Say the challenge starts Tuesday, my buy price on dell is say 85 3/4. The TA person must document 25 trades, BUT must factor in commissions as well. For example, long dell at 85 3/4 sell at 87, long dell at 83 sell at 85, etc.... I bet I will have more money, one year from now with DELL than that person, even if DELL is lower in a year. I don't see how I am giving the person any advantage, even if they are small price trades, don't forget commissions. For all practical purposes, I hope they are not small trades, but I want to see any TA system destroy buy-and-hold DELL this year. I certainly hope someone takes me up on it.... I started a thread TA vs FA about a year ago and did the same challenge. NOBODY was willing to take me up and I was arguing with all the super TA guru's here at SI. Check it out.
