We determine E (X (T) - T) where X (t) is a Brownian motion having arbitrary drift and variance and T is the first time the process drops a specified amount below its maximum to date. From this result, the moments of X (T) and T and some asymptotic distributions may be found. Applications in process control and financial management are mentioned.
