I have a comment. Back on December 21st, I recommended the Relative Strength 5 Dogs of the Dow. #reply-6927272 What is that you ask? See Tommy's post #reply-6944389 I was poo poo'd for my suggestion given the AA chart pattern was not the best. However, you will see that buying the Relative Dogs is kind of like buying a mutual fund (and AA has been kicking @ss). You look at them as a whole. As Tommy noted they had outperformed the S&P every year and are flipped once a year, held without selling and covering if needed. I know that these stocks aren't as fancy as the tech and internuts but take a look at the returns since December 21st. I think any one of us could live with this kind of profit. My point is that these are a good addition to any portfolio, even if you are a trader. Don't overlook different portfolio strategies in the hunt for the one stock that will get you rich tomorrow. Sometimes these steady moving ideas work the best. JMHO, IMHO, keeping ahead of curves and all disclaimers yadda yadda....
