The effect you describe is called "hatbanding".

At least I know what to call it.

1. Streaking indicates insufficient coverage. Use a wider brush and
load it heavier. I like a 2"-4" sash brush. Sash brushes tend to have a
tapered end which feathers out better than a blunt end, letting you
control the edge better. After you put the paint on, drag the very end
of the hairs very lightly through the paint. This is called "tipping
off".

As I said earlier in my post, SEVERAL COATS above and beyond the rest
of the wall and I still have the effect. I'm slobbering on as much
paint as will stick without running.

Dragging the end of the brush lightly through the paint only
accentuates the problem. Leaves streaks.

2. Run the the roller horizontally as close to the corner as you can
get it without putting paint on the ceiling. Make sure you have plenty
of paint on the roller. With practice and a good roller cover, you can
get within 1/4" of the corner.

Even at 1/4" I still get the effect, and painting that close I'm too
much of a spaz to keep from getting paint on the adjoining wall or
ceiling.
