No, of course not. Jump in feet first with all that you've got and to hell with common sense.

Yes it is. For a while at least.

I know gamblers that have been on winning streaks too. Unfortunately that's not how the story ends, especially not for novice gamblers.

It's nice you have found a way to consistently beat the market and I really hope that you're outperforming the lowly index funds but without more data 'successfully' is awfully un-specific.

I made some money in the stockmarket too, but I'm not going to dress is up as intelligence, I'd rather admit that it was dumb luck.
