OT I know a lot of you read the Investor's Business Daily. Just for the hell of it I decided to track the portfolio of stock's that was recommended in december of 02 for the upcoming year. At the end of trading last week the portfolio was up 46.94% including splits and holding every stock they selected, 29 in all. Only 4 of the 29 have lost money this year and 16 of those posting gains of 50% or better with ESI, YHOO, APPX and JCOM being triple digit winners and COH close behind. In my futile attempt at stock picking I poured over every prospectus that I was able to procur through Barron's probably well over 1400 companies through no scientific theories other than my own and incurring the wrath of my letter carrier who was bringing boxes for days on end, I was able to whittle the list down to 99 equities. So far showing a gain of 20.24% for the year. Top picks were TYL,PFI,BRL,CHS,EXAC,FINL,and CTSH. I was humbled by
FMK, LAN, RCII, CHUX. Found the IBD thing to be very impressive so far.
