Re: Best stocks of 2003: ZMH Should do well with all the bowl games coming up(g) I take it as big plus that you are more interested today as I am counting on investors to remember the best days and forget the worst - which means looking at techs and bios. We have to be careful of others stock picks (magazines) tho. We dont know how safe they are playing the game. Perhaps trying for diversification which is a loser but required by funds to meet the "prudent man" requirement. Perhaps they are giving ten picks and hoping for 2 big wins to brag about while forgetting to mention the losers. The other aspect is they will tend to give big names or big cap picks having little upside. This is mighty slow learning for me. One thing I had to work out was to avoid getting so highly invested that I had to sell at market bottoms. Maybe I did not really "have to" sell but the fears pile up after several weeks of down The second thing was to recognise is that nearly every stock will dip several times each year and that has to be allowed for also. Avoiding September is a must, with October an unknown. Right now Tsco is down, but I'm not selling, am buying (right or wrong) I wish the thread had said more about Nxtl ( man, thats shorted) since they have the only push-to-talk without delay of all the handhelds. (seems to be a patented feature) Success is much easier to come by if we have many thread members following a few stocks. My source of investing ideas is not the best- can be improved. By reading all the news I often get "conned" into buying when insiders begin to 'sell on the news'. And the news is so diverse it practically impossible - the home builders are up, the home builders are going down, the retails are up , the retails are going down. A war may be coming, and are the Defense issues up? No- they have dropped. IMO we have to get down to individual issues and I think the smaller techs can give the best gains Good luck Sig
