So, a good simple strategy for these difficult times...besides knowing "a little more than the
stock symbol of the stock" includes, before buying stocks:

*look at valuations, particularly earnings growth. Buy stocks that have recent upward
revisions and particularly timely are stocks selling at a discount to their growth rate.

* avoid stocks that have been losers YTD. Particularly those held by mutual funds. They're
going to go lower as the mutual funds drop them in the next two months. Conversely, buy
YTD winners. They'll go higher as they're bought for window dressing.

* small caps gaining market share are the best bets.


Excellent advice Sergio!!!

Value is the hot button for now... Several types of scans can help find the types of stocks you mentioned above...

1. Look for stocks outperforming the S&P 500 on a relative strength basis... Sort by EPS growth, low P/E, low Price/Sales ratio, etc...
