Stock investors needs to start with a philosophy and end with a signaling system

* Start with a philosophy * Convert the philosophy into principles or actionable statements * Convert the statements into metrics & rules * Convert the metrics & rules into an algorithm * And (ideally) convert the algorithm into a signaling system that generates BUY, SELL, HOLD, ACCUMULATE and REDUCE calls Don't go with your guts, tips, tribal knowledge or adventure! Follow YOUR system based on YOUR PHILOSOPHY!
