I try to let the market tell me, what I look for is divergence, a stock that in and amongst it's peers it bucks the tide.. unless there is news causing it to buck that tide it will swing and it will also swing after the news gets cold if it's peers have all gone the other way. Look at the herd ( sector ) and pick off the ones that get to far away from the herd. It's the law of the jungle, you will miss some , but you will do better than charging at the herd. Like the TA on a stock may say it's going up..but you get an extra edge if the sector is also going up, and lose it if that sector is crashing. With oun an extra edge you can't make it because the market is not a 50/50 game. There are always more losers in the long run than winners because the spread, and the cost of trading puts an overhead on the market. Jim
