When Bad Strategies Outperform

Sorry mate, but Jill sounds like a sensible girl who identified safe, large cap earnings growth machines and wisely invested her money in them, knowing the Street was undervaluing their growth potential.
Jack sounds like the kind of fool who thinks buying MSFT and DELL is a safe bet because they used to be earnings growth monsters 10 years ago, and anyway, to paraphrase that old saying, "nobody got sacked for buying Microsoft and DELL.".

The worst strategy is to hold onto your losers and not identify new winners.

Go Jill!
