By buy/sell frequently I mean maybe 2-3 times a year. There are many advantages to buy and hold, but if you know a stock will go down over the next few months won't you make more money if you sell high and repurchase the stock when it's low if your profits are greater than the brokerage fees? I'm specifically looking at silver stock, which is bound to fall in price due to a price correction.

The whole market fluctuates.Buy quality,consider the pending political regime change,think about vices,necessaties,human nature.Use your own common sense,(statistically as reliable as a fee-motivated broker).Then forget you bought 'em for ten or twelve years.When you see how you've done,you'll probably put every dime you can in some investment or another.

If you have a good reason to believe that the price of an investment will fall, why on earth would you hold it? Brokerage fees are pennies now and it is a bad policy to let the IRS make your investment decisions for you. You will never escape their bite, so just put up with them. If the stock reliably moves between predictable limits, like between trend lines (my personal favorites), the by all means, sell at the top and buy back at the bottom. Dow described the market as being like a tide upon which there were waves upon which there were ripples. Profits to be made on all.

Hold. You will avoid paying broker fees when selling and buying and you will also save on short term capital gain tax.
