It's probably short in both length and duration.
On another note, I began an experiment at the beginning of the year. Between January 3rd and last week, I bought 12 different stocks recommended by AF at the prices he declared were good entry points, sometimes at prices that he declared would go BOOM. I dumped the five I was still holding today. I made money on 4 of them total, lost money on 8 of them total, and lost some money overall.
I don't post this to denigrate AF or his methods, I'm sure he was out of all of them before I was, and if you have time to devote all day watching his picks and getting out as quickly as he does you would probably do better than I did. If it's not something you can do, if like me you can't monitor these stocks all day long and sometimes have to be away from the computer for hours at a time during the trading day, I think it's very difficult to keep up with him and to make money on quick trades.
No hard feelings, AF. I take responsibility for every one of my buys and sells, even if I don't know what I'm doing. I like this thread (although a majority of you could use some political enlightenment) and I'm going to stick around. I've learned things reading here.
