How many times have we made a change only to find we should have gone with our intuition.
Statistics past,present and situational are important and should be taken into consideration
when making a decision . But what about your feelings,thoughts and evaluations ? BlueskyMack
points this out about performance comparing MasterCharge to baseball .
Coaching football for 16 years I can see this. You know your go to players in certain
situations. The ones you could count on. The performers who loved a challenge,craved the
pressure and had the strong desire to succeed. Can you think of your own personal
comparisons that you may have .

When picking your initial stock selections how many times did you change it ? I changed mine picks but then I kept clouding up things, and went back to my original 21 selections. I thought, lets run with these and adjust as we go.I think the problem we all have is we think to much. Personally I try to avoid paralyzing my decision making process ,for many it is difficult to do but for DuffBeer well I'll let you decide.

Now back to one of my favorite times of my life.Decisions do require the thought process but they also include performance . Many times we would find our team behind , late in the game with little time on the clock yet in position to score and win . Time out was usually calledI would enter the huddle and see the anxiousness on those 11 players faces and I'd say " pretty exciting game " they would calm down then get whooped up. They would be waiting for me to call the play but I would ask " what play do you want to run ? " I always knew who would step up and take command. They showed confidence,courage and desire to succeed and help the team.
All of us in this SLO contest have the desire to succeed. It is the courage to pick a stock and stick with it that tuff. Ken Kam has formed a great bunch of team members. I am glad to be on it .
I review my fund picks often and continue to see them improve their performance. Sure they will changes but I have confidence in those picks and so far so good. Will I change sure isn't change the one constant in life we know will happen .

Oh did we always score and win, most of the time but there was something more important to get across to these young men. Play as a unit,a team and not individuals . They accomplished great things as team and reached goals their could never obtain doing it themselves.

Today I am fortunate to have sold them their first home ,see them with their families or talk about that goal line play over a cold DuffBeer. Coaching is not all about winning it is about turning boys into successful young men.

Stick with your gut feelings, I bet you will be right most of the time.'
Cheers, DuffBeer
