  • 10 Dangerous Stocks to Avoid [View article]
    bcncv: In times of stress, the unwary will look to whatever source Sounds good.

    There are a lot of new SA members, probably scared here because of Mutual Fund or 401K losses.

    There are also a lot of "New" authors whose Article Titles try to attract the "Scared".

    More Due Diligence should be spent on the Authors than on the stocks they try to promote.

    One does not want to compound one's misery by losing money on the "Advice" as well.

    Super Stock Screener: You have provided a record of performance since mid-2006 for various categories.

    First, as far as I can tell, your site has been in existence since 2007. Whose portfolio are you using And when was it actually created?

    Second, overall performance means very little to me. If you held on to everything without portfolio adjustments, I wouldn't heed your guidance in the first place. If you did make changes, did you fit them into your models as if they existed from mid-2006?

    Thirdly, How did the Portfolios fare in 2007 and 2008 alone? You know, during a Bull and Bear Market separately?

    Your time frame leaves a lot to be desired, but a breakdown would give an inkling of performance during good and bad periods.

    Just an opinion.
