Still, because of the higher volatility, I am able to use them in conjunction with the "Method" very safely. I don't have anything in "winter." Knock on wood.
Thanks, orvil. Glad I could help!

Hey, I am a little surprised about the "triple beta etf's" as Snider positions, but I'm glad it's working out for you. I'd like to know more about what you're doing. I've always stuck to Snider's rules because I trust them. But hey, you invented the airplane, so I wouldn't put it past you to invent an improved way to pick Snider Method positions!
