>>>You can also try toofuzzys suggestion on a simple investing system.<<< Which one? Toofuzzy PS By the way I just thought of a ladder system (Might be how they all work!) 1) Decide your ladder trade points (10% steps ? ) 2) You trade at each step a set DOLLAR amount So every buy is 10% more shares than you sold at the one higher rung. 3) You can plan in advance how big a drawdown you want to allow for by the amount of cash you set aside.
