What methods do you all use to find the best stocks?

It can be straight up buys or shorts and for a quick turnaround or for the long term. I'm curious too see how you all go about it.

MERRY XMAS!!!

Don't you run into the problem sometimes when you look for the strongest movers they have already moved up and miss out on most of the upward move?

Of course I do...I miss at least 10x as many as I catch...However, I look for pullbacks and subsequent moves...A matter of being at the right place at the right time...But that is the hardest part.
