Wall Street is full of very bright MBAs. You are not going to outmuscle them with brainpower, or find some thing that they overlooked. They have a discipline of investing to follow also, and 90 percent of so-called investors are traders. You are the minority on Wall Street. The difference is found in the time the investment is held.
Many traders think that holding stocks for more than a few months is a very long time.
Remember that you cannot use short-term philosophy to intelligently purchase for the long term any more than the trader can use an SSG report to determine today's price swing. That's why brokers often cannot give us good advice. Since we are trying to invest for the long term instead of looking for a quick profit, we need a discipline such as the SSG provides. Because virtually no one else uses them. The use of estimated EPS is of value.
