Last month scorecard for my favorite list of 17 stocks- Not good

The previous month I raved about my good selection of stocks. I beat the averages. This past month was a reversal of poorer performance than the overall market. All but one stock was down. So it is true that what goes up the most goes down the most in a down market. The 4 oil & gas companies were better (-6%) than the others. My "favorite" group performed about as poorly as Jim Cramer's recommendations. I don't think I have found the golden grail for investing. I intend to do little blogging as it is impractical to keep up with the vast amount of investing information and also few comments/exchanges from readers. No doubt I would not be able to compete with top bloggers as Seeking Java which I highly recommend. For me it's old investors or bloggers just fade away. There is more productive things for me to do with the precious time given to human beings.
