I think you have to have a staff to do this well Bud, LOL. The C-man would make more than 200 trades someday at the old HF. I guess that's one reason I'm looking for a better trading style. The momentum one is fairly straightforward with little time involved. But this indepth, time consuming research thing I like to do is for the cycles and long term It takes about 3 hours to search a screen and come up with 2/3 stocks out of 100 or so worth looking at. Then about an hour or so on each of those just to see if they're worth a look.
Bottom line...looks like momo playing until I have real money and can do the necessary research over a few days or so. Some traders stake out companies for weeks - learning about sales, visiting stores, etc. This kind of thing doesn't work on the BB, LOL. A 3 day cycle for Pet's sake is all you'll get if you're lucky, LOL.
