Cost of doing business..

I understand your point - I find it hard to pinpoint a % gain/loss without a system that is constantly up to date calculating that number for me. If I can get to that - which also involves a sliding scale (e.g. where a price is 2.01 and above v. 2.00 and below) - then I will switch back.

Further, if I want an 8% drop to get out, lets say, with commissions I have to factor in at 10% -- otherwise 8% with commissions is more like 6% without. All this involves much more figuring out.

I just decided to give myself a chance, factor without the commissions and then report as such. So yes, if I am reviewing my end game, yes, I am probably close to -6.5% including commissions.

Anyways.. for now I will exclude the commissions -- at least everyone following me will know that until I change.

(unless strongly objected to..)
