a. you apparently value your time at zero. interesting.
b. factoring gas and your time, if difference between that and the $1.20 (and that's if your return is 5%) per $2000 isn't worth fewer trip... you have more free hours in your day than me.
c. you're doing it wrong anyway. doing the same amount all the time raises interest both on the buy and liquidate side. you really just get 999.29 MO's?!? i hope you're at least smart enough to be using CU's and not card issuing banks, so that when they close your accounts, you won't lose your cards and get blacklisted.
even doing things 'right', many people are getting shut down (me included)- having every transaction identical is like waving a 'look at me' flag.
