Bruce Murison* contacted me (Toby Carlisle of www.Greenbackd.com) at the start of June with an interesting proposition: He would open a dedicated account to trade the Acquirer’s Multiple All Investable Stocks Screen and post his strategy and results on the site. He thought knowing there was a public eye keeping him on the straight and narrow might assist with his discipline (the same reason I launched Greenbackd in 2008). He wondered if a real time, real money account tracking the acquirer’s multiple’s performance would be interesting to readers of the site. I of course leapt at the opportunity. Bruce hopes that his project might encourage outside the box thinking and maybe lead to others posting their strategies and ideas that could become an interactive community of users. Here begins Bruce’s first post in what I hope will be a long series:

I am dedicating a $25,000 real money account to trade stocks ranked favorably according to The Acquirers Multiple (TAM). Every stock will be chosen and traded according to these rules:

Thanks to the GREAT Toby Carlisle whose books, videos and dark sense of humour are an inspiration to all.

QUESTION to all:

Will screening out the companies that may or could go bankrupt (the ones with the worst financial metrics) but are the cheapest hurt performance.   Why are money losing net/nets generate better returns AS A GROUP than money making net/nets.  Example: Energold (EGDFF).
