I have 22 consecutive profitable trades of 15% or better. How is this possible? Every day there are hundreds of stocks setting new highs, no matter what happens in the overall market. Many of these stocks are still at very reasonable valuations. Afraid of buying stocks at their highs? Think of it this way: a new high is really a future floor for companies with solid financial underpinnings. Quantitative momentum modeling makes it easy to identify stocks that can continue this upward momentum trend. Why does this happen? It's really very simple..ask me about what investors and cows have in common. I am $$$ MR. MARKET $$$. I AM HUGE!!! Bring me your finest meats and cheeses. You can join in on the fun.

Billie no more courses for me ........I'm retired and have no time to listen to some wind bag teach a course, and for health reasons I stay away from the greasy barbecues. I much prefer an excellent Turkey Club down at a Go Go bar a few towns over. The sandwich is delicious, and the girls are gorgeous! Much better than looking at some pompous jack wagon LOL! Billie bottom line ...I would love to see some of his picks and how they perform 6 months later, and I would venture to say that you can probably learn more right at www.mrmarketishuge.com for FREE!
Interesting to see Gary Schilling near the bottom. He appears frequently on both CNBC and Bloomberg, just yesterday. Also Abby Joseph Cohen. Don't see that much of her any more. Ken Fisher is right at the top. I get more mail from him than people I know.
Would kill to see a report on the Motley Fool.
I see Cabot near the top. They are in Salem, MA, near me. As mentioned on their home page they are in what used to be the North Salem branch of the public library which the city closed to save money. A small but very beautiful kind of Jeffersonian building. Salem has some really bitching architecture. If you are ever there skip the Witch House, park your car and walk down Chestnut Street and environs. Blow you away.
Entry and exit points are key to whether or not a pick is good or bad. I've made money on bad picks just by exiting early or entering late, and I've lost on great picks by botching the entry or exit. However, there were two or three guys listed at the top that had an impressive percentage. Close to 70% is pretty amazing.
Louetta, I was in Salem once. I think it was before 1980. Happened to run into the official witch of Salem. A large imposing woman nearly 6'2" tall. Later saw her in National Geographic in an issue featuring Salem. An old college roommate went back to school in Plymouth NH. We toured the Boston area. Was impressed seeing Ben Franklin's parents' tombstones in the old Granary Burial Ground.
Regarding the Motley Fool, they mostly try to get people to subscribe to their portfolios of stocks, rather than recommend individual stocks for purchase. Although, now that I am thinking, they may have a service where they recommend individual issues. It would be interesting for someone to track the Fool's CAPS Community to see how the community's 5 Star (best) and 1 Star (worst) stocks have fared over the years.
I also wondered about the accuracy of Motley Fool's CAPS ratings. Lost interest in Motley Fool shortly after they started heavily pushing DDD as the next great buy and hold stock. This chart shows you DDD from then till today. http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=ddd DDD proved to be another one of those "unlimited potential " stocks. There are hundreds of them out there.
Found this link interesting because the 15 year time period corresponds almost exactly to my trading lifetime (turned 30 last month) and includes vicious bear and decent bull periods.
Nate's Notes looks kind of interesting. Never heard of him. Any feedback on him from folks? Going to set up a little portfolio based on the very limited stuff in his recent blogs and see how he does. Doesn't seem to have any easy, cheap way to get a decent trial.

Louetta, I'm very familiar with Nate's Notes. I've talked to him on the phone. He gave me a couple free months then knocked $100 or gave me two years for the price of one. I didn't ask him for a deal. Just general questions about his newsletter. I'm not currently subscribing. He might only add a couple new picks each year. Very patient with his picks, he might hold for 5 years or more. Not a lot of action packed excitement , but he has some great winners. One of his I've held for years is HQL. Up over 250% and I've got it in several accounts. Call him up. He's as good as advertised. Recently started The Wagmore Letter selling covered calls.

billy,
There are lots of examples of stocks whose price ballooned out of sight because of perceived future earnings. Look at the marijuana stocks then and now. I still believe that one big key to making a profit in stocks is buying at the "right" price. You make money when you buy, not when you sell.
I have been investigating market prophit, a company that purports to take the pulse of the "crowd" in the "cloud." They intimate that their stats can predict movement of interest rates and stock prices by sampling social media (Twitter, etc.). If you or anyone reading this has looked at this concept, I would love to hear your comments.
As an aside, I have noticed more of our members using the Louetta-initiated "methinks" in their posts. There is a slow branding happening. Methinks that soon the MrMarket forum will become well-known for its "methinking" posts. LOL!
