I wish I had a good answer to give you here. I really don't understand financial markets. I more so just have a basic understanding of history and technology - my individual stock purchases are mostly me taking my knowledge base and extrapolating into the future and trying to figure out what companies I think are likely to grow. As you can probably guess, I mostly try to stick to low-cost index funds, because my above "strategy" is nothing more than gambling. I'm curious as to what your answers to the question are?
