Some lessons we have learned to hard way Don. Your tables are amazing. But their is no holy grail. No sure fired way to make money even with all of our collective knowledge, tabular data, charts, expertise and shared experience. What might be a worthwhile addition to your tables in the future would be to add the analysts rating to the individual stocks. Gottfried mentioned the other day that WFR had a 5 for a Zack's rank. I just checked and found it was a 4 here: zacks.com Yahoo says a 2.7 which is just about halfway between strong buy 1 and strong sell of 5 with 17 brokers making recommendations. finance.yahoo.com We have discussed before that analysts are more often wrong than right because they usually upgrade after something good happens and downgrade after something bad is extremely evident. Sentiment is something I watch a lot as it concerns the market as a whole but having it on a table as it concerns the individual stocks we follow would be incredible. Anyway, probably too much work but it might be a worthwhile addition to the tables. As always thanks for the hard work on your tables. They just keep getting better and better. RtS
