Hi adam , ocroft

I just googled ben stein . Stein-demuth.com . They have a 15 year graph of the S&p p/e.

I like ocrofts system as he answers what and when to buy automaticly . I just don't trust my own decisions as when it is best to sell. I was originally a buy and hold investor. I am looking for a suggestion as to when to sell automaticly as the last piece of the puzzle.

Lost cowboy in reply to ocroft suggested the reverse procedure when the market tops for that stock. do you or anyone else has a better suggestion or insight as to how I can automate leaving a position. As I understand it he, ocroft , closes out his position 100% when his criteria for a sale has been met.
