I think Slider realizes, but doesn't mention, that many individuals can't follow the market all day long. While buying the dips and selling the strength is a good strategy for those who can monitor the markets carefully, it's often a strategy for disaster for those less informed. For many, putting money into a sector that's been washed out will yield great returns down the road, without worrying about each 20% move. If the turn is in for oil, then why not just add to your holdings, sit back and wait? Micro-managing is not an option for everyone. Best regards, Michael

Winkman777, you CAN see the forest for the trees! Good observation! If one doesn't stray outside the sector then this DOES look like a good profit taking opportunity.
