The 50% Gains thread began in September 1997 as a forum to talk about undervalued stocks. Initially we focused on companies whose projected forward growth was at least 50% higher than their trailing PE ratio. Several dozen profitable picks came from that approach.
Fluctuating markets soon convinced us to add short positions to our repertoire; then in 1998, we picked up momentum investing and started playing Internuts too.
Today the 50% Gains thread is a friendly place to hang out and talk about promising stocks, long and short. Non-tech stocks are included, too.
Most picks posted here should have a reasonable chance of going up 50% in the near future. Please tell us why you like the stock, too, and don't just litter the thread with stock symbols and exclamation points (you know, ABCD is taking off!!!!!!!").
There is an actual 50% Gains portfolio that I update periodically as a case example (usually on Saturday). I also try to post all my trades on the thread around the time I make them. And I write occasional articles on investing for streetsideinvestor.com.
An important disclaimer this is not a thread for leaders, followers, gurus, disciples, hypesters or bashers. Nobody here has any desire to be included in any of those categories. Anyone who does fit one of those labels will not enjoy their time with us.
We only have three rules no spam, no BB stocks without audited financials, and please take your personal attacks somewhere else.
