"Academic studies show that trades go wrong about 51.5% of the time. That is, stocks that are bought tend to lag; stocks that are sold tend to outperform. Or "The More You Trade, The More You Lose."'

The basic premise is faulty. You can buy, you can short, hell you can do both in the same day.

Seems the study was done by people with review mirrors
