Computerized Securities Strategy

The financial media comes up with ideas that computerizes strategies of when to buy and sell individual (not conventional packaged) securities.

But this is never new, just repetitious. There have been computer whizzes all the time, who have attempted this strategy. That’s because it represents a challenge.

Of course they are too amateurish to know that others had been through the quest before, using faster and faster computers.

As fast as technology has become, market psychology and corporate idiosyncrasies hinder their practical success.

As I have studied the pros and cons of close to 1,600 market strategies, including the computer approach, I can see no long-term panacea with this approach. ( See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
