Thanks for the reality check jpennybags, It is a bit outside my area of expertise. It's probably best for me to focus on whats worked for me so far then try and change tactics.

Hi All, I am a total beginner to trading. I opened a brokerage account and started making a few trades to learn the ins and outs in May. The big movement in BP from the bad press got me thinking: If only I had known in advance that the case was going to court, I could have followed it closely, waited for the ruling and gotten in early on the dip. Same for the Parker v. Qualcom earlier this summer and Apple v. Samsung, etc. Is this a viable strategy? And if so, how do I find upcoming litigations that aren't making press right now, but are likely to make press and cause some stock movement when they are judged? Thanks in advance for your insights. -Sam
