Beat the Street: Meet Scott Chamberlain

4) How do you research your picks? Do you primarily use fundamental or technical analysis?

I use both self-developed and generally available technical indicators only, but I do look at the fundamentals to better understand my risk profile on each trade.

5) If you win, what will you do with the $100,000?

It's such a long shot, I don't even think about it :). While I was in ninth place yesterday, I am still well behind the current leader. I started three days late, which really makes a huge difference in the competition.

6) Have you given any thought to what you'll look to learn from Jim if you go on air together? Any stocks you'd like his take on for "real investing"?

I'd like to know what his view is on how to determine when the uranium sector bull market will end. I'd also like to understand more specifically why he's so bullish on the equities market right now.

7) How long have you been investing? And what's the best investing advice you've ever received? The worst?

I have been investing for 15 years or so now but my risk appetite is low, so most of my money is in cash or cash equivalents. The best advice I have ever received is that discipline 10 (discipline to the 10th power, that is) and risk management are the keys to long-term returns. The worst advice I ever received is that Yahoo!(YHOO Quote - Cramer on YHOO - Stock Picks) was a "buy" at $45, which was down $65 from its 2000 peak of $110.
