Its not luck.

Not saying luck isn't a factor in the markets, but, you know, its still only one factor... and its still one that favors the prepared mind.

Just isn't rocket science to look at the charts, and do the DD... and the market an issue trades on when you find it, isn't ever a "determinant"... rather than a source in bias relative to the rest.

Buy low.

You don't get there by picking stocks at their peaks that look great already.

Sell high.

You don't get there by picking stocks that aren't going higher, either because of some factor in what the company is doing to distinguish itself, or because of some rising tide that will lift that boat with others. Ideally, you look for both... before others have it figured out.

This company had and has solid management, with a proven track record...

So, the world's shortest DD checklist:

1. Are the assets real
2. Are the assets connected to a share
3. Can you trust management

Of course, you could add a fourth...

4. Does the chart and their market look timely

I don't care what market they're on... as that has ZERO to do with the bias in the direction in change in the business. You can't uplist to the NASDAQ or the NYSE, if you're already there.

Its the bais in the change occurring that matters, relative to the undertow... not the one time snapshot showing happy faces.

Sink or swim... ?

Well, does management know how to swim ?
