  1. IBKR (Interactive Brokers Group ) . From your list. I like that one a lot. Here is why:

    On the FA side :

    - Great earnings (keep beating estimates) May run up till the Fourth Quarter Earnings on January 24
    - All brokers are raising their guidance... should apply to this one as well
    - Superior product (one of the best platform)
    - no exposure to Subprime market
    - Volatile market = More profits
    - Low P/E ratio

    On the TA Side :

    - Coming back to its starting point
    - Moves up on high volume, goes down on low volume
    - Looks like it is about to breakout

    On the downside:

    -Not the hottest sector right now.
    -Company not well known. Needs more buzz...
    -Class action

    Your systematic approach to anlysis is very refreshing.

  3. Thanks for your comment. I have you to thank for that systematic approach. During the present “trying” period, I have decided to focus my attention on how to better do stock picking than stock picking itself.

    You made me understand that I must spend more than 5 minutes before trading with my hard earned money. By sticking to a strict FA and TA analysis, it's the only way I can keep track of my good and bad trades (I even print a chart on the day I buy a stock to remind me what I liked at that specific buying point).

    I also understand that even if everything points up, there is no guarantee that it's going to trade up. The systematic approach helps me to keep a "cool head". On the long run, I hope it's going to help me not repeating the same mistakes.

  4. Hi Frogvest,

    I am glad that you are taking an approach which has made Peter Lynch very successful as a mutual fund manager.

    But he never had to deal with TA..he was 100% FA....

    I firmly believe that if one incorporate 70% FA & 30% TA...with time you will have a much higher gain.

    I also focus on some long term trend ...which keeps changing....

    Yes....I have documentation of all my trades with rating/rationale...& I do go back to see why I sold something...and I am generally pleased.

    Yes.... I do miss many big gainers...but with limited funds I would rather be comfortable & expert of few.
