Thank you Ray.

I have not finished reading the book, but from what I have read so far, the stock has to move 10 or more in a month to trigger a transaction. That seems like a lot. You could modify the strategy to 3%, or a 3% decline and a 7% increase. You can modify it however you like. I do like the idea of buying more when it is low and of selling expensive shares. It is a lot like value averaging. Also, if the cash was in a close end bond fund paying 6% the money would not be going to waste while waiting for a buy. As I research it more I will share my ideas.
