In short, my own use of the word «system» is generally not used in any pejorative sense, but is merely reinforcing that for myself, professional planners, and for successful investors, the need to decide ahead of time what the philosophy and such is, will be your best guard against just what you appear to be doing — deciding ad hoc and
on a real time basis, and without a pre-thought formal plan, whether to recommend buying, selling, or staying put.
