Pull the Weeds, Water the Flowers
Price movement is never a reason to size up or down — what lies underneath is. Trim the weak and overvalued, add to the strong and undervalued.

You don't guess tops and bottoms, you count them: ten observable signals, and a position counted from a checklist beats a price target guessed from a hunch.
