Diary of a Mug Punter

A good idea, which I suspect will draw a number of posters for a variety of reasons. Most, if not all of us from time to time act on a gut feeling hoping that we can spot a company before the 'experts' do. Why not? A number of newspaper tipsters based on their success rate are in my view simply amateurs with a hit rate of 1:10. Their research is poor, if not non existent. There is no one way of deciding on the potential of a company. If I was to choose one, it would be to invest in those where the directors and institutions are piling in; for me money speaks louder than words.
