you guys who know what the hell you are talking about.


<g> hardly, I can just scratch the surface technically. The main thing that matters in stock picking is experience. Experience in human nature, experience in the herd mentality, experience in reading between the lines in the SEC filings, experience with panic and greed, knowledge of history and just plain "stories". What I've seen over time is that technical knowledge doesn't necessarily enable one to make better stock picks, it's just small piece of the puzzle. Any piece can be manufactured by determination, a good sense of perception, and some research.

One prominent researcher with whom I've worked had a line of wisdom about a recent stock price surge in the bleeding-edge industry that we're in: "perhaps we know too much". <VBG>
