Buy low, sell high

Get a 6 month plot of the DOW. Note the basic regularity of the peaks and valleys. Buy during the next predictable valley, sell at the next predictable peak. Only deal with big caps and well-known companies when employing this technique.

At about $18 a buy/sell, $100 of stock would have to rise 18%... ain't gonna happen. At $1000 of stock, 1.8% possible, but unlikely over 1 day. $10,000 of stock, you're okay at .18%. So you'd better have some big bucks involved per buy/sell cycle.

Something I should have mentioned yesterday, a good way to lock in some gains is instead of opening a regular account open it as a Roth IRA. No matter how much you gain you will never pay taxes on that gain, my account is a Roth IRA, that is going to be my motor home, beach house, Corvette, 25 year old fake boobie trophy wife fund for when I retire.
