This week with StockPunk

Your guess is as good as mine on the direction of the market this week. I've decided to focus my trading account more on what I do best -- stock screening. The last couple of weeks have slapped me around. All of that slapping has come from a trading style that I'm not entirely comfortable with. Screening has been my bread and butter for the past 4 years and it seems silly to abandon it (especially for something I'm not especially good at).

I still want to learn more about which stocks work in my screens and why. I think I've relied too much on the screens themselves and I haven't done enough "homework" to really know what's going on underneath.

I got a mention on UglyChart last week. Thanks Ugly! His blog is one of the most informative and fun stock blogs out there. When I first started reading stock blogs, most of them bored me to tears or overwhelmed me with stuff I didn't understand. Ugly has a unique gift for combining humor, sarcasm, and information all together in a refreshing and entertaining way. If you haven't seen Ugly's videos you're missing out. They are hilarious!
