Too much. Just heard this story on local TV news. We had a Canadian-wide stock picking contest for high school students. Many of the scool groups posted big gains. Our local group was up 47% and the winner nationwide was up 100%. Here's the kicker: The contest ran for the last 3 months! When asked what was the most important strategy their group employed, a student responded: "Well, we look at the 365 day chart of prices and, well, if it's low, we look to buy." I tell you, thinking too much in this market is a bad mistake. This has been so for many years. --Allan
