Welcome back Wize!! And please, absolutely no apology necessary. I was getting worried about you, but knew you had been sick. So happy to hear you are back and I presume will be OK.
I don't even know where to start...
In terms of my knowledge of charts - I am quantum leaps ahead of where I used to be. While I know there was disagreement over those 7 picks I posted, I was really happy with the results. 3 were up double digits in 2 weeks, 2 were up (albeit a small amount), and 2 were down, but not by much. And had I been actively managing the account, I actually would have dropped the two that were down about a week earlier, and redistributed those $$ into the 2 big climbers (NNBR and KBALB).
I still have lots to learn. And I'm actually re-doing another multi-stock scan. I still feel bad about that spat with Quick a while back, because I did learn some great things from him as well. Glad to see he's back. Quick - don't feel like you can't share your thoughts on anythng I post! Tone is sometimes lost on message posts....
Anyway, what I've been working on is trying to adjust those Stockcharts scans to try and catch the upswings earlier....instead of focusing on the 5/10 wma cross first, I'm now starting with the 10/20 daily first, and then looking back at the 5/10 wma to see how the overall picture looks (I was doing the reverse earlier....looking for a "confirmed" uptrend first with the 5/10 wma then checking with the 10/20 for an entry point - this is why Quick saw all of my picks as overbought).
OK, sorry for the long post, but I continue to work hard on this stuff. Long answer short, it takes work and is by no means a guranteed thing, but your method has helped me tremendously.
So glad to see you back. Now stay healthy, ok (for your sake, not ours)?
