  • Four of My Favorite Stocks [View article]
    Good picks... altho I personally no longer accept the "buy and hold" philosophy of stock investing, nor have I found it to be profitable to "average down" in a market meltdown scenario... the "catching of the falling knife" metaphor sticks in my mind.

    So I believe the best of both worlds in this environment is to find good fundamentally valued stocks and use technical analysis to try to time your trades... looking for extreme oversold conditions to catch a pop, and getting out after a nice quick run.

    Maybe someday one can hold a stock for more than a couple of weeks, but that sure hasn't enriched many people the past 18 months.
