I've accepted the fact that I don't know as much as those who write the reviews. I don't look at the stock I look at who is recommending it. I then cross reference that with other references to get a general consensus of if I like it or not. Keeps it much simpler and less time consuming for me. To think that I'm better than someone with their masters and years of experience in the field would be a bad thing. To act on it would be much worse. On my 3 different stocks I'm averaging almost 20%. XJT is the only one bringing me down which is constantly at it's 52week low. I've decided to pick up more of it just to see what happens. On my index funds I'm averaging close to 30% with Ishares brazil and Ishares Australia.
