Full disclosure is that I was a bit timid at first when I ponied up from two of my TDA IRA accounts 3000 and 3800 shares, respectively. Once I saw positive results I dipped into my wife's IRA at TDA (shhh, don't tell her) for 5000 shares. Then, after really feeling lucky, I went another of my own IRAs for a 10000 share stake.
So, if you do that math, I would say I began my trades with 22.3K shares. At the end of that couple of weeks, the ending share count is a shade over 23K shares........ and if you read between the lines, all of that activity, and associated gains were transacted exclusively in tax deferred accounts. I've played this game for several years in this stock, and exclusively in tax deferred accounts. I find that is the only way to go.
