Valuation also played a role: GOOG traded much of the third quarter below a 20x forward P/E, later rising to about 25x, a level that still looks reasonable for its growth profile. Even Warren Buffett’s reported stake reinforces the value-and-growth appeal.

got some excellent queries on the requirement to maintain the performance for much lower trade frequency; the lower the frequency, the higher the expectancy value is required of your trading.Yesterday's 35 trades average per month example will equate a trade 'Expectancy' of 0.65R per tradeExpectancy per R = (win rate x Avg R Gain) + ( (1 - win rate) x Avg R Loss).To churn a 6% avg monthly return to compound beyond 100% annualized return at lower trade frequency will require higher trade expectancy more than 0.65R per trade.
