I don't hyper tread either;
but don't have a problem with those that do.
DIA,SPY are in very good an up trends , shallow pullbacks, lately;
but buy and trade occasionally, because commissions are nice @ IB.
Losing profits[hold] , don't see much point in that,''hoping'' it may or may not uptrend And true ,some may have saved 2 commissions by ''hold'' longs thru 2-27-07;
not my plan.
