Yeah that's the idea, I just never seen anyone really laid this out in detail anywhere as a strategy. Do you know of anywhere that has? Also the idea is to just invest 10% or so when you think the time is right in an individual sector...with that small of an investment you don't really need to...

I think I have come up with the simplest, safest, and most rewarding investment strategy....Do you see any flaw in this? Wall Street teaches us that if we "invest" all of our money in mutual funds we'll get rich. Or if we just buy and hold we'll get rewarded. Here is my investment idea...

I'm writing this from an airplane. I'm flying back home from the Money Show in Ft. Lauderdale. Security is tight in the airports. I flew in November and there were a 1/3 of the security workers in the airport then there is now. Apparently they are stepping things up in front of any possible...

my thoughts on running a financial website and getting people constantly begging for stock picks: "The mid-1970s were not a productive time for the markets, which stagnated between 1964 and 1982; the Dow closed at 874 in 1964 and at 875 in 1981, racking up a magnificent gain of one point in...

Praetorian said: "I admit that daytrading is probably the most difficult profession around. But if you want to put in the time and effort, it is most likely the most financially rewarding one around. I have no real motives, but you are flatly wrong for thinking that most traders have stopped...

"I guess I have too much free time on my hands. I guess the "Old-Fart" (me) has no life " If you are like me than you spend time during the day typing on message boards just to pass the time sometimes.
