I guess what I'm trying to say is, I can see the difference in value between a core and a swinger, but if they're both essentially traded practically with the same holding period, I see little to no benefit to realising its value - other than the fact its downside risk in a down market is less vulnerable and perhaps even dances to its own drum despite overall market conditions.
If this is the case, as a part of the overall trading strategy in order to reduce risk (while being unable to use those funds for your very prifitable day and swing trades thereby reducing potential returns by means of quicker turnover by way of volatility)...then I certainly do understand.
