Therein lies the rub.......

The stock market is a future discounting system.

What you have already done is already in the stock price.

If you are attempting to make money with the already done strategy then you are buying companies that are paying dividends.

Nothing wrong with that approach. Historically it has been the most common approach and a very successful one.

The market shifted from the dividend approach to making money to making money through share price appreciation approach in recent history.

Alas, now it is all about figuring out what will happen in the future and positioning yourself through stock purchases to capture the share price run up.

In short, buy low, sell high, instead of buy, hold, and cash divy checks.

That is not to say the History is not a good predictor of the future. It is.

In our case there is corporate history of STS to look at and the history of the new corporate officers. There is little history of EVRM in it's present roll to look at.

There is enough history for me to choose to invest in this stock.
