Anyone who plans to work in the market full-time has to learn to accept that every single day, hundreds or thousands of stocks will go up that that manager does not own and had not considered. I'd love to have a service that surveys that universe and delivers the ten best new high ideas on my doorstep every day, but most momentum newsletters I have seen are just that, not really grounded in value too.

I agree 100% that one should be accountable solely for one's own numbers, measured against whatever benchmark or expectations you had in mind for yourself.

I agree with you that I don't lose sleep about not missing out on big gainers that don't fit my investment requirements, but I think you may be missing the point of the article.

I believe the point is that under-followed/under-recommended stocks outperform highly recommended stocks and that there can be good investment opportunities in buying "unloved" stocks.

I don't have any qualms with that idea.
