    Value investing != day trading. Read more books before you try to sound smart about something you know nothing about.

    The rest of the comment is irrelevant. If I bought a value stock 10 years ago, I am most certainly not "competing against Deep Blue", or any other "algorithm" or "program". That's exactly what value investing is NOT. It's buy and HOLD. And the idea is to hold "forever". Versus day trading or swing trading where you buy and SELL within a time period for small but frequent profits. It's in the latter that you'll find computerization, not in the former.
