Yeah, I get it. But I don't think your first post were realistic to compare this into Buffett type investing.

I don't feel you can compare being a great value investor(like Buffett) with flipping a coin or a roulette double up.

But on a lower level I can see it. Most people don't put much thought or time into stock analysis. The majority just go on feel or what friends, or people on a stock forum are saying.

On this level, the roulette double up may work.
