RE:"The danger in picking out a single situation from the close to 100 stocks I opine on, is that it does not describe correctly the statistical success or lack thereof of the turnips' tools."
Zeev, thanks for your comments. I don't have the slightest idea how you can follow 100 stocks nor the data-software logistic and infrastructure needed. I started investing in stock market 15 years ago and I followed the recommendation to diversify as mush as possible in order to avoid being eliminate by a bad stock. Then my IRS accountant told me I was maybe doing too many trades to be eligible to capital gain taxation. Also, I realise that all my stock was moving up or down simultaneously. So I find out it would be more suitable for me to restrict myself to only 2 or 3 stocks but learning more about those stocks. The problem now is that you got to be out of the stock for a very long period sometime and maybe most of the time in recent time.
I follow your thread every day but I'm in a learning phase. I'm far of being day trader as you can see.
