true gejim, however something has been missed if you sold and bought at the wrong times, u are assuming trading means always being right, i tend to look at it like sports gambling, if you can be right 60 percent of the time you are considered a professional
i am sure people have lost money and lost shares by trading, i am sure it is a high percentage of people, the only way we would know is if the people trading announced the trades when they happened, then we could see if trading truly was better than holding
i got an idea, u could tell us where the highs and lows of this stock are, when to sell and when to buy for the next 6 to 9 months, then we can compare and see if trading would have made us more money or enabled us to own more shares
how about it, this way your method can be proven
