RE: Beginners Questions
Hey Beaches- That is an interesting question indeed and I completely understand not being able to stick to a schedule. I have been battling the same problem since I began..I have been blessed by having certain jobs that let me get on every other hour or so but it was only for 30 minutes here and an hour there which has made it difficult to follow on train of thought. (I often find myself researching a subject only to pick something else up a couple hours later and finally forgetting about my first endeavor until weeks later...) I can only offer you a tiny bit of advice which has seemed to help me. I have made a habit of checking almost every tape of the stocks in the S&P 400 midcaps on a weekly basis which has helped a bit. I do so on the weekends to see the weekly close and just look for the best charts regardless of the sector. I make notes of which stocks look like good buys (up or down) and I average out the results when I am finished. If I see patterns such as one sector standing out more, I then try to isolate that sector and check out all of those stocks.
As for all of the other things that go for the method, I am learning slowly but surely and reading isa's market breadth thread really does wonders.
Good luck buddy-
