It also helps to have a little luck. When we agree to profile a company we have no idea if the company will deliver on its promises in a timely manner. That is why we profile about eight companies a year. Out of the eight we know we will have one or two superstars and one or two dogs. The rest will fall into that middle category of either making a little or losing a little.
Experience combined with luck has a lot to do with success.
The reason people make money in this market is because a stock can go up an unlimited amount, but it can only go down to zero.
