Starting at 6:00 PM each evening, CNBC runs a series of programs called "Mad Money", "On the Money" and "Fast Money". Each show is designed to stimulate your greedy juices for making a killing in the stock market. Each show recommends or highlights stock after stock that could go up in price. The game is clear. If they throw enough names out there, some of them are bound to go up. I don't know how anyone could listen to these shows without using VectorVest to check out the stock tips.
Besides, I've got a strategy that makes money, beats the market and doesn't require two hours of "homework on each stock every week." I'd quit investing if I had to do that. In fact this strategy is so easy to use, you could manage a portfolio of these stocks in less than 10 minutes a week. It's not a "buy and hold" strategy, but turnover is low and the percentage of winners is high. If you want, you don't even have to time-the-market. But you would have to follow a simple plan for buying and selling positions.
The secret to getting 20 plus percent per year gains lies in the sort. Of course, VST does the job. So if you want to read the paper, drink a martini, eat dinner, smoke a cigar and walk the dog between six and nine o'clock each evening, stop watching CNBC and start using Easy Money.
