I followed bad advice from hack newsletter publishers. I should have studied the markets, but, when you work most of the week (50-100 hours per)...you don't have much time for that.
Decent results would be doubling my account every year. Anything over that...impressive.
Getting a 20% return would be impressive, doubling your account every year would be extraordinary.
If you don't have time to study the markets now because your working are you planning to stop working in order to trade?
Don't discount the Darvas book. It gives you a system that incorporates fundamental analysis and technical analysis and a method of protecting your capital.
Good luck
