Good analysis Brighterspark.If you are looking for long term investing there are stocks to buy out there.These stocks are limited and if you were to buy this type of stock you would want to know their profit forecasts going out to say 5 years.This would automatically take out many mining and speculative stocks.I always invest with a view to holding a stock until the value comes through this may take a month or a year.Generally within this time frame positive announcements will re rate a stock to its value.Also globalisation has affected long term investing.
