100% correct Cache. Flipping for more shares ultimately does not work because it requires timing the market and being able to identify market lows and highs... which even a mediocre trader understands is impossible. It is inevitable that the trader will biff a major market move.

The only way to maximize a stock rally is to remain long through the entire time and dollar cost average up on down by acquiring shares along the way. Investing 101.

no one had to "beat the MMs" with OW&P. play the swings. they'll happen regardless. want confirmation? just look at our chart. :-D

great companies run hard, and if DOLV is what we think, it will rise to a fair value in time. that's all there is to it.

Yes---

So by flipping, you can potentially have more shares (if you time it well)


I learned long ago that you can not beat the market ----I just buy the dips whenever I have dry powder and my wife ain't looking----holding mid seven figures with an avg .0083

IF (big capital letters) everyone were disciplined enough to actually do what he suggests and IF we, on this Board, were the only ones trading the stock, I could agree with you. We are just minor players in a bigger game and even those who are SAYING they are holding are secretly selling bits and pieces. So, what he says is correct and, in a perfect world, the MM could be countered - but this world is far from perfect and never will be so my suggestion is to use this knowledge to counter the personal fear and trade between the giants' legs as they walk around us. Just don't get stepped on!
