David: Your example of the "lovely chart..about to explode" ignores a few things and makes me wonder who the "crazy aunt in the attic" is. Gemmers who do their homework; read the site page and understand the philosophy clearly know that not all stocks that look good turn out good; that they are encouraged to enter stops and never ride a 20% decline. If you've been around the market a while, you know this. The problem is often the trader; his/her inexperience or misunderstandings. Most traders "get it" rather quickly. Perhaps you don't. And I must repeat; those who are "chastised" as you say, are those who don't do proper DD. Too, the service is not expensive; it's priced much lower than it could be. Over several years I see repeatedly that those selections that don't do well ARE mentioned and the "winners" far, far outnumber the "losers." The number one thread on SI doesn't remain #1 year after year if what you suggest is true. It's my sense that you really haven't done your homework; that you've focused on a few negatives to the exclusion of the quite remarkable and massive number positives. Perhaps you should lurk elsewhere...and be happy.

That's because you know nothing of Jenna's personal style. When a stock doesn't work out, she dismisses it immediately and moves on to others that ARE working out. She may mention the bad stock, or she may not (let me add that she usually DOES). She doesn't do much hand-holding. I actually prefer her style. She simply moves on to what makes money for us. Why spend time lamenting what didn't? Often, however, in doldrum periods, she WILL take the time to refer back to charts, etc., that point out why a stock failed, and will often compare that to a chart that DID make it under similar circumstances. It's obvious you care not to take the time to see the big picture. You've made up your mind and are only considering those points which will verify your narrow stance. Too bad; you could be making money with us. Your choice.
