LOL - a red light/green light system that does not, according the company, make recommendations to buy and sell securities. Except that you are supposed to follow the red lights and green lights to do your trading. That's different. ;<) Nah, I am looking for ordinary human (or close) SI folk who can demonstrate a consistent record of clear, comprehensible and verifiable predictions. Often, trading and predicting are two different things. A trade is probably initiated based on the belief that a stock will move one way or another. But if it doesn't, or the stock shifts after a small "correct" move, the trade can be ended without being very "wrong". You can even make small profits being wrong if you are quick to get out when you are still right. Predictions are made and should stick - revisions are new predictions that negate the absolute value of the first prediction. In other words, if it was right, it wouldn't have to be changed.
