Q:  Genie has granted you three wishes to help you improve your trading/investing skills. What would you ask the Genie?

A:  I would ask for three things: 1) better statistical analysis skills, 2) more time to devote to mechanical strategy development and research, and 3) straightforward guidance on what I need to do to improve the performance consistency of a few of my stock screens. The good thing with all three of these is that I don’t really need a “genie” to give it to me as each are within reach as long as I devote the time and effort.
