Paul, regarding the trading versus investing strategy -
I personally do like to flip my stocks (bought for valuation reasons) if i consider the gains attractive enough. I see this as an very effective bear market strategy since it takes advantage of the volatility, with the assumption that there will be more opportunities to buy the same or equally attractive value stocks again. i do acknowledge that this would not work in a bull market though. As far as diversification is concerned, i do consider a broad diversification a good defense against overconfidence which is as prevalent with value investors as with momentum investors. However the account size usually keeps a lid on this, so that the fees are less than 1% if the investment (my personal cutoff).
