Hey, Cowboy. I am glad you took an interest in my charting style. I took all of my data from the monthly closes off of the Yahoo site. I also did the same thing with weekly charting, monthly, quarterly, bi-monthly-and daily if I wanted to. I know this example isn't going to show up correctly on the message board, but I will try anyway. I placed the entire $25,000 on one stock and set stop-losses at -10%. I sold automatically at the close of the end of the specified quarter. I agree, Cowboy, that I need to be more informative. I do hope that you could place one of my charts on you site and that way the people visiting could see at least a real chart. Here is my attempt at the example-though it by no means is a chart, or a graph. It is just a representation of what a chart can show you.

It looks good in the message board, but when I post it, it may explode. The actual charts teach you that you should buy the stock only during its historical high months, and sell when it historically goes south. Let us see what happens with this example. And remember, these weren't the best stocks to do this 10 year portfolio with. It was spur of the moment.
