I will also add that in scenario 2 presented above you come out $1 per share ahead by swapping the shares for synthetic long vs just holding your shares. It would be the same as if you did actually time the market and were fortunate enough to sell shares at some level and buy back in for about $1/share less. In swapping shares for synthetic, you don't have to get lucky. You already sold and bought back $1 cheaper on same day. Have fun with it. Best in IRA where taxes and holding periods are no concern.

Thx much for the very detailed answers. I think I'm going to remain the sideline neophyte long for now and leave the complexities to the pros,
I do appreciate understanding the manuveuring though.
