The point I was trying to make, poorly I admit, was that financial
software, even that used in commercial situations, is often sufficiently
poorly written and tested that I mistrust its recommendations. So it was
the sharetrading programs I was expressing mistrust of, not the
competency in investent knowledge of you or anyone else. (I imagine you
probably know a builder who doesn't think much to other tradesmen's work
either).
