Ibd 100

[OmahaInvestor]

Ok guys I try to avoid stocks on the IBD 100 because I feel like I am following the herd mentality and try to avoid that at all costs. But recently I've been picking stocks that are previously aren't on the 100 and now are. What are your guys' opinions of the IBD 100 and the prospect of buying stocks that are on it or even owning some that are placed on it?

My questions relates to TSAI which is now on the IBD 100. Any advice or helpfull hints will be appreciated thanks.

Adam,
There are some great stocks on the IBD 100 as well as some really bad ones. I suggest you do all your own research and if you come up with some that also happen to be on the 100 you already know the story behind the stock. Don't worry about the number or if it's even on the list. The greatest stocks , I've found are those that no one is talking about or recommending. Find one of those and when it appears on lists and in articles you'll already be counting your profits. Have confidence in your selections don't let anyone switch you to a big name overbought stock. Brokers will try this every time. Good luck.

p.s. I haven't studied TSAI , but from what I've seen it looks better than most

Instead of looking at the IBD 100...look at the BLACK stocks...or look at some of the lists at DGO

Well its not like I go to the IBD to validate my picks or eliminate them at all, I just try to avoid ones on their 100 list. What I mean is I will not blindly pick a stock solely on its connection to IBD or the IBD 100. My question I guess is more of a personal insight on your thoughts about buying stocks that are on the IBD 100. Like do you try to focus on them or not?
And if you buy a stock and it later shows up what are your thoughts are you happy? Excited? Nervous?
I know their ratings are used sometimes on picks etc. how important are they to you?

Just a few questions from a new investor. I just like to learn from people who have more experience and a better record than I.

I never heard of the Black stocks or dgo, where/site can I learn what this is? Sure is hard being a beginner.

BTW, I do love this site MR Market.... I have learned so much. I want to become a chartist like New Born.... and a picker like you.

Omaha...actually I don't use the IBD 100.

Sister...Black stocks are the one's highlighted in IBD tables in black....DGO is DailyGraphs.com
