Don't report back until you've
found a winning strategy

Here is my second best idea. Find a handful
of popular threads here on SI, select them
from the hot list. Then study each thread back
for a few hundred posts, note the stocks that
continually come into view--the same folks will
often remind the thread of their favorite stocks.

Now check the list of most popular Personal Profiles
that have been bookmarked and refine your list of
people to watch.

You should have a guru list of half a dozen people.
Now trade their stocks...anticipate what they are
going to do as they watch the chart, and do it before
they do, or just as they post a message saying what
they think is a good plan.

I think a lot of us do a little of that, why Jeff here
on this thread probably has some influence for instance.
But we don't do it as a discipline--we assume that we too
have unearthed great stocks and now we just have to go out
and tell everybody our picks. That is tough to do...and
then if you pick a stinker you feel bad if it tanks.
Maybe leave that pressure to somebody else.

That is what makes trading the internuts so efficient,
none of the work has to be done...there is agreed upon
list of stocks which are continually in play...for no
reason than they have dot com attatched etc.

I've been thinking that searching out the gurus and the
stocks they like would be a better way to play--I watch
the biotech guys a lot, do keyword searches, scan the news,
read what I can to try and educate myself. But after awhile
one wonders if the puzzle you put together is the right
picture, maybe you are jamming pieces together that really
don't fit but just happen to look good next to each other
--like that PBS show Connections from years ago--
entertaining but a lot of nonsense.

Of course the idea that Jeff was coaxing us toward
is where you have some experts to the thread and their
is a common list for this little corner community of SI.
As a team we come up with a magic list. But maybe the
experts you really want are the ones which everybody
on SI has already sorted out for us.

Just some thoughts. Probably completly obvious
and I now look silly for keying all that in.
