I think buy and hold is a bad strategy, even for a year. A better strategy, I think, is to buy the stocks on the list and hold them until they go down 5% to 7% from your buy point or until you have a better idea and the stock looks like it's topping, as they all do.
PFE's sinking. It's point and figure price objective is $8, down from $17.87. GE is at $22.62 and its objective is $13. It's being shorted on its huge financial exposure regardless of what it says.
