Colby's Stock Picks http://www.investorplaceblogs.com/users/colbyhouse/ en Copyright 2008 Fri, 14 Sep 2007 16:18:55 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss You can't time the market I don't try to time the market - I don't think the average investor, or most professional for that matter, can accurately determine how to time the market in able to make a consistent profit over the long run. In fact, I don't worry about when to buy or when to sell - in mechanical investing you invest for a set amount of time and "rebalance" when that time has elapsed....repeat. The strategies I use have been backtested and this does not imply future results but I believe it can increase the probabilities of that strategy working.

You just can't time the market.

I'm a Mechanical Investor - for those of you who do not know what this is - please check out the message boards over at www.fool.com.

For this contest I used the top 3 stock screens (through backtesting have shown superior CAGR, high Sharpe Ratio and Low Stdev) to creat my portfolio.

I'm always looking for feedback and/or comments.
