Endless debate and squabble between, FA / TA / Hybrid, EMH / Partial EMH / Non-EMH, Behavorial / Asset Allocation / Hedging, Long/Short, Stock/REIT/Trust/Warrant/Forex/Future/Fund/Swap/Index.....

Everyone claim to believe in something and insist their way is the best. The only way is to spend your own money and test out and hope you find a formula that works before loosing all your capital.
I'm definitely not the best, but I buy blue chips when they are considered "cheap" (debatable) and keep them for a long time to (1) milk their dividends and (2) let them appreciate in value.

I don't believe in "trading" (buying and selling frequently and in bursts) - the party who benefits most is obviously the brokerage or your broker.
