The quote IMO tells your true intentions on why you are here. To disrupt investors as a whole who have gathered on this board to discuss issues regarding Treaty. I guess we've been called worse. lol

quote ... " then why shouldn't I sell now & buy back in just before the next big news " ... end quote

This statement tells me you do have little knowledge of investing. As you mentioned. All I can say is maybe you should talk to your " financial adviser or priest , or school counselor " for guidance. Everyone on this board has their own investment goals on how to use their investment to meet their own needs. Asking than heeding one's advise on a message board IMO is investment suicide.

Good Luck
