Don't underestimate yourself. It sounds like you have some sort of system in weeding through companies.
Over time, if you are able to stay invested in those companies, I think you will have many more winners than losers.
I think where a lot of us run into problems are timing and emotion. Need an objective manner on buying and selling.
With that being said, I have a pretty good stock pick rate, but horrendous timing.
Last month, I finally decided to go with an Financial Advisor to handle my investments, mostly because of 2 reasons. I finally have enough equity to make it worthwhile and secondly, they also handle the Estate planning side of things.
I researched enough into Estate planning to know that it is way too complex for me to sort out.
