Well, rjm2 I agree with you there about being unable to predict "with any certainty" which stocks will turn out well and which will not. That's why I'm always surprised to see mutual fund managers who use "pig at trough" investing. They keep say 50 stocks max., and if they come across one they like better than one they already own, they kick out the one that is the least likely of being successful. The rationale is that that forces them to be disciplined. I say, since I believe they can not predict the likelihood of success, this method inhibits investment success.
