99% people on this thread have no clue what they are doing or what the criteria for their stock-picking should be.
Go invest in some total market index funds. Day-trading and stock-picking doesn't work for the average institutional or individual investor. The majority of actively managed funds (aka stock-pickers) under perform their relevant benchmark over the long term and short term.

I agree, day trading on ones own without really knowing the ins and outs of the market is not wise. You mentioned investing in total market funds S&P 500 as an example? You seem to allude to the idea that managed funds, such as mutual funds, do not perform, is my understanding correct?
