So that would beg the question: "What if we bought EOD next day vs. EOD same day?". The short answer: Don't! :o) See results below for EOD next day: (from 1/1/96 to 12/31/2005) ************************************************************** Thanks for the reply. I had that question in mind with the post you replied to, but my thinking is that the EOD of the next day sort of voids the mechanical signal aspect of the system. Now you offer additional evidence of why not to do so.
