IIC's Winners Watchlists

[Rob]

I B D

But they don't want to admit that a million years of research on past winners doesn't necessarily work anymore...The markets have changed...Specifically, much more volatility since the early 90's and before...Due to more use of computers.

Doug, I've often thought the same thing myself. I let my IBD subscription go—too expensive—but when I was still getting it my favorite feature was the New America. They irritated me with their constantly badgering me to subscribe to their "premium" services when I was already paying them so much for the subscription to begin with. Then when you read that "Smart Investor" column, half the time the techniques they described involved use of those premium services again.

[peanuts]

The good news: If you had purchased every stock in the IIC 100 Top 10 at the open of each week and sold at the close each week this year you'd be up 34.45%.

The bad news: If you'd done the same thing with the IBD 100 Top 10 you'd be up even more...But the gap is closing...IIC

That's pretty impressive. I wonder if there is a way to narrow down the IBD, or your screen, to get to those big winners

Also, with the large price swings in OTCBB, I wonder if there is a good system to find those big gainers. Of course, OTCBB is really risky, and makes me feel dirty when I make money from them... don't know why

Of your 100, I like BUCY and PCP the best. I have intimate knowledge of some of PCP's business

The problem I have w/ IBD is that they try tonickel and dime you to death...Look at all this stuff:

http://www.investors.com/ibdstore/

By the time the average joe buys all this stuff they have no money left to invest.

Now IBD is a business and they can charge whatever they want IMO...But what saddens me a little bit is when I used to read all these posts at their forum...So many small investors who thought that if they bot all this stuff they'd be rich in no time. C'mon!!!

Then there's the seminars....up to $7,000...Now what the heck are they gonna teach me that's worth 7 grand?

Now...and this is just my opinion...they may charge so much to keep some aura of exclusivity about them???...There are many people who think the more you pay the better the info...That is not necessarily true.

Anyway...I spend over $1500 a year w/ them because I find some of their stuff useful. But I don't think very many people would find it useful because they don't really understand what its all about...Of course they could spend thousands on seminars to find out...LOL

IMO they should offer cheap or even free seminars. I know they have one for $179 for 3 hrs...But you are not gonna learn much in 3 hours with hundreds of others. In the 90's I taught a friend Canslim...We spent all day on 6 Saturday's.

I offered to teach Canslim seminars for 250 grand a year...But the phone never rings...Doug(IIC)

I don't think there is any magical screen that will pick out all the winners...It takes a lot of due diligence after you run your screens.

I know a guy who is a full time trader...He is not a day trader...I think he is more of an intermediate guy. Anyway, all he trades are IBD 100 stocks. He has some parameters set up and he narrows it down to maybe 30...I'm not sure. Then he intimately studies those stocks. Now, since there are not really that many changes each week he doesn't necessarily have to get to know 30 new stocks each week...But he follows his list every week and buys the ones that meet whatever his action point criteria is...most probably never do. I don't know this guy that well but he seems to do very well to me....Doug

To be honest I don't find this MACD crossover list to be very useful...I don't think I will continue posting it...However, I have added a few parameters and will run the scan for possible ideas...But the overall list isn't all that great IMO...IIC

Doug, I think predictive values of indicators are pretty much a farce. Regardless of your time frame they must be calculated from either open,high,low, close or volume. Price action is all one needs to know about IMO Value may be found in divergence of the indicator and price. This could signal a turning point. Other than that all my magical indicators are a waste of time…

Despite what we think in essence they all are lagging indicators. Imagine that did he say all of them? Yep…..

Oh My God ...I think I'm gonna

I'll admit...I'm a bit bored this weekend...My wife went to Michigan this weekend for our niece's grad from college...Back tomorrow night...So I decide to go over to IBD Forums and read some posts...Oh my gosh!!!!

I feel so bad for some of these dolts...One guy...TeamPlayer...Is unbelieveable...Is he a plant???...I dunno...But HELP!!!...Poor people...Geez...I'm waiting for IBD to offer a Level 5 course...LOL...Maybe they can sucker some to pay 10 grand for a course???

I noticed a few fellow Mr M'ers over there...Won't mention any names...But please give me a break...I will bet Lye's life that you won't learn anything worthwhile over there...I'm serious...I was in Day one...Where the heck did all those original cheerleaders go???...Don't tell me they all have an address on Easy Street now...And I'll bet Web's life on that...IIC

Well put Runner...I post many lists around the Net and I keep tons more...But in the end...It all boils down to Price/Volume action for me...I don't post all my trades...But how many of the ones I do were actually on my posted lists?...Not many...Not because I think the lists are bad...Afterall, they are just watchlists...But because a 1/2hr after the market opens...It can be completely different than I thought it would be the night prior...In fact, most times it is...Thx...Doug

If we study many price charts they begin to talk to us. We see the following and this is a constant and reoccurring fact
1. Excitement
2. Nervous
3. Scared
4. Uninterested
