For the years when the market was well-behaved, taking the top 12 picks each week: Phenomenal performance, 0.5%/week compounded on a long term (2 year) basis. But: Since the market went mad last year, QG is a total disaster. I paid for a two year subscription just around then -- to get the discount -- and have since learned to not use his recommendations at all. (As a specific example: for the 113 weeks ending 4/28/08, the average gain is over all his buys was -0.11%, compounding to -11.97%. If I use me "top 12" rule, I get 0.06%/week, or 7.01% total. In that same period, the S&P500 had a gain of 7.9%, for a compounded weekly gain of 0.07%. For the last 26 weeks, QG lost 21% -- almost 1%/week -- while the S&P lost 9.38%. His top 12 lost almost 19%.) I still chart QG, in horrifying detail -- but am doing much better with a few stocks that I follow very closely, sometimes day-trading their swings. Wish I could get a refund from good ole Lou.

I feel like I'm drowning in information which is less than useless. Thanks to Gumshoe, I can almost always recognize the b.s. and proceed cautiously.
