Paulo; I didn't take it as an attack at all, just trying to point out that what may work for one person don't always work for someone else. I think people have to developed a style that fits them, Buffet and Bill Gates are miles apart as to their investment strategies but are good friends and both seem to do right well. At times one will do better than the other but it's sort of like at the dog track. There are several styles of betting that can win , and many that lose, but if you find one that works for you sticking with it and not running hot and cold is the best strategy, if the style gets cold just back off, it'll come back..if you run hunting another style then when it does come back you miss it. I've settled down to playing indexes, and or funds, I do not own or short any individual stock. The old style I had of averaging down when I was wrong worked real well as long as I kept some dry powder and it got me out of many a bad bet, but it often takes the nerve of a cat burglar to make it work, and I cant say taht's for every one.
