I surprised myself in that I read the vectorvest text not only once, but twice. And my reaction: If this crap is true, all of the dogs in my portfolio I should hang on to, and all of the winners or near-winners, I should dump. I have never read such a load of garbage in my life. This "system", which is a term used charitably, implies that if the market favors a stock, it is a bad investment. It also favors only the stocks which issue dividends, or split. Read the brainiac system fundamentals a couple of times, and if you're still not red with rage at such a sophomoric filtering system, you haven't yet grasped the point. "VectorVest favors steady, predictable performers" says this computer-generated piece of crap. Well, okay. So, therefore, VectorVest would have missed just about every major success of the past two years, and would still be high on Coca Cola. Pardon the rant, but I just despise sites like this that offer snake oil and nothing more. - Don

rll, VectorVest is just one of many sources. My experience thusfar is that they have been right more often than they are wrong ... which is rare. The thing that I like best is that their recommendations are recomputed daily (as opposed to analyst recommendations which always seem to arrive after all the big money has been made.) I wouldn't invest in strict accordance with their recommendations but they do provide a valuable perspective. Craig
