RE:RE:Another reason While you are in Vegas, and your money is on the table (or bet on a sports event) and you are waiting for the game of chance to end hoping for a payout, the money is "dead". Even with dividend paying stocks that payout once or twice a year, the money is dead money while you wait for the dividend.
So, if you want to call my "bet" dead money, fine. If you want to trade this daily with some days selling a portion of your holdings and others adding to them, fine. I don't see you as a lump and dumper or a short and distorter. I am not either, although I share my enthusiasm with my Long (buy and hold) position.
