Rande, while your idea of doing a paper comparison of big cap stocks is interesting, why bother? Everyone knows, or should know, the markets are rigged to a certain extent. Like the budget surplus the administration is touting today, it is all hot air.
Play developing trends and ride them untill that trend reverses.
Just look at FFIV, which was a buy today at 121, and a sell at 142.
That is 21k in a few hours.
That trade required minimal decision time, actually it took longer to enter the trade than the thinking to do it process. Keep it simple, keep some powder dry, pick the right stuff, long and short.
I am neither a bull nor bear this minute, because I can make money in either direction, and this minute there is no overall general direction. (the bias is down, however)
The employment cost report will give direction Thursday, but that may only last a day due to internet time...........Be carefull |
