Mark Hulbert: Wall Street’s Winners Fire ‘Rifle Shots’ While Most Investors Miss The Mark

FYI: Rifles are the investment weapons of choice right now on Wall Street. I’m referring to strategies I call “rifle-shots,” because these investors scan the investment horizon through their rifle scopes and only pull the trigger when they spot a particularly attractive stock.

Rifle-shot approaches are different from algorithmic strategies that crunch through dozens of data points from thousands of different stocks to come up with a buy list. Continuing a military analogy, such broad strategies are more akin to carpet bombing than to rifle shots.
Regards,
Ted
