Hi Tom, Too true, altogether too true. What with all the backtesting I've done just about the only time you make money is buying from the scared. Mostly it is less than 0.1% difference, and mostly against AIM, in a bull market.

One thing I've noticed is that ETFs are harder because inside them the loses offset the gains. However the options on them have higher volatility. I haven't been able to get the options pricing data to do significant back testing. Does anyone know of a way to get the bid/ask prices as well as last sell price like one does for the ETFs themselves?

It looks like selling covered calls well out of the money is a way to make a few cents while waiting for significant moves of the underlying ETF.

Best,

Allen
