boiler I tend to disagree with you a little bit, the spec market is so hard to call. You could pick 10 spec stocks and just one of them needs to go boom and the other person would have massive gains even if the other 9 failed

Trading Spec stocks IMO is about luck more than anything, of course you can go off management , companies with success or similar areas and other factors. But from my experience over the last 10 years its all been about finding that lucky spec stock that makes you the gains for the year, isn't that why we invest in such stocks.

Of course you could have a blue chip portfolio but its not like ANZ is going to go up 15 % in one day, and of course its not going to go down that much either, factoring in no GFC.

Just my thoughts
