Check out OATS (organic grocery chain). The company went up like 60% in the last 6 months, but the P/E is like 170. What you've described seems a lot less noble. It's more like trading with your gastrointestinal tract: you feed them sugar and they buy, then they have tummy aches and they sell. Even gold and some foreign etfs fell yesterday which is totally counterintuitive (but OATS went up, I can't believe it! Talk about trading with your stomach!).

This is why I believe that systematic investing, such as in your 401k, or using dollar cost averaging is the best course for many who would otherwise panic sell or buy too late trying to jump on the greed bandwagon. Not entirely scientific, but 6 out of 7 respondents on <a href="http://lawsoffinance.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Laws of Finance</a> choose dollar cost averaging. Yet only 2 out of 3 dentists recommend sugarless gum. Who is that other dentist? Good advice.
