I'm always trying to write new C++ algorithms for selecting stocks and coming up with ways to make existing algorithms better. I'm never happy with what I've done. I always think the grass is greener on the other side. I always look at what I did done and try to think how I could do it better.
I see advertisements trying to sell a perfect method. But, I can guarantee beyond any doubt that there isn't a perfect method, only a better method. And I'm always looking for a better method.
Unfortunately, I think we've finally reached the crossroad in our nation's history where the U.S. economy and stock market are permanantly faltering. Through this disaster market, I have established rules of thumb to handle every possible situation. However, even if you lose less than the market, you still lose. So there's no reason to celebrate.
There's not a whole lot I like to to do. I like to talk about stocks, but I'm the only one. Oh well.
I'm not looking for any miracles at this point. These are the ones I'll be keeping my eye on as of closing February 6th.
