There's a book called "The Unemotional Investor", author Robert Sheard, which claims extraordinary success for combining Investors Business Daily rankings and Value Line timeliness. However all his data were from the extreme bull market period of the 90's. Such a scheme might do worse than average in a bear market because he's talking about the market 's favorite rockets. You are right about my conjecture that some of these strategies only suboptimize. Your idea about using any of them that have worked is appealing. I'd like to comment about the choice of buying Berkshire Hathaway stock. It seems to me that Buffett and Munger have the advantage that they can literally interview the CEO of the company in which they want to invest and make a canny judgement about the person. Also they are smarter than most of us.(That includes me.) On the other hand we individual investors have the advantage of nimbleness and small capital. It's pretty hard for Berkshire to acquire lots of a stock fast in a way that will make a big percentage difference in their growth. I'm a low cholesterol nut and Mr. Buffett is not so I pass on the stock. But, objectively, I think it is a very safe good value investment.
