Trading is a verb not a noun. If one is trading why should one take a 4 to 5 point loss when he/she can take that as profit along with the
gain from a short. Your time frame of trading/holding doesn't suit most traders. It is a buy and hold approach. At what point do you say you
are wrong? How big a draw down do you need before it hurts enough? Or is it your clients that are the ones that suffer alone? Flexibility is
a traders greatest asset. The ability to not have an opinion and trade what the market will give him/her. The ability to make money whether
the market goes up or down. So to say hold on until Dec. seems ludicrous to me. You may be right and Ebay will go to 34 and you will earn 20
points. A trader might make 50 points on that same move by trading in both directions. Enough said. didn't mean to get carried away. Ira.
