No RHJ: it's never "better" to use that strategy....
The worst thing that can happen to a young investor is to use that strategy and have it work the first time you do it -- then you'll believe that's how it's really done, and you'll be trapped in that trading mess you're whole life. Always better not to split hairs...The funny thing is your posts are so transparent I've known that's what you've been doing in here since day one, and frankly I think you'll find it to be a big mistake long-term.
