One of the things they teach you in introduction to Finance class at business school is something called efficient market theory. This is a well documented theory that shows that the vast, VAST majority of people simply cannot beat the stock market in the long run when trading costs and expenses are factored into the equation.

'Because you like the name of the company' is my favourite...Imagine if the company's worth truly determined by its name...There would be company research reports on why a particular name is better than the other...Wouldn't that be funny.
