It Isn't The Head But The Stomach That Determines The Fate Of The Stockpicker.

Well, I Think The Secret Is If You Have A Lot Of Stocks, Some Will Do Mediocre, Some Will Do Okay, And If One Of Two Of 'em Go Up Big Time, You Produce A Fabulous Result. And I Think That's The Promise To Some People.

If You Can Follow Only One Bit Of Data, Follow The Earnings - Assuming The Company In Question Has Earnings. I Subscribe To The Crusty Notion That Sooner Or Later Earnings Make Or Break An Investment In Equities. What The Stock Price Does Today, Tomorrow, Or Next Week Is Only A Distraction.

I Spend About Fifteen Minutes A Year On Economic Analysis.
