Why Read the Stock Market for Beginners Guide (when a Hunch Would Do)

If you have never invested in the stock market, it is time to read any stock market for beginners guide that you can get your hands on. Many people have been tempted at times to dabble a bit but without knowing what to do, most people are afraid of losing money.

Take a guy who has never invested in stocks before. He had about 20.00 in his account and decided to buy some sort of stock. He wondered what exactly he could buy for 20.00 but it turned out that the day after Wachovia announced that it was collapsing, their once respected stocks turned to penny stocks.

Penny stocks, if you don’t know are any stocks valued at just a couple of dollars a share. He said, “what the heck” and bought 10 shares. So, either he did a really stupid thing or a very smart thing. That was a few days ago, turned out, it was a pretty smart move since his 10 shares were soon worth over $60.00.

So, with or without a stock market for beginners guide, the stock market can be a great investment tool for your money but it takes much research, or if you don’t have anything to lose, a hunch is all you need, not a complicated stock market for beginners guide.

PROBLEM

In today’s system of money and government there is a problem of lack of money for a vast majority of people and the ever-looming control of people from the government and the legal system. Everyone is stuck in a state of mind that depends 100% on money. It matters not how much or how little money you have. Do you know how it is that they are controlling the population so easily?

We all feel the effects in many forms many of us complain verbally about the problems we encounter with lack of money, but few ever understand the actual root cause of how and why we have these stressful burdens.

Editorial Reviews

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS NO MONEY is a book advocating non-force means to circumvent monetary and governmental institutions so that people may eventually become freed from money’s effects on humanity. The information is delivered in that of a futuristic classroom narrative where students learn about money and its institutions from what would be their historical perspective.

The spiritual messages about energy, belief and evolution are strongly written and timely, in that humanity is creating and consuming this information at record rates. The vision for the future (largely communicated through the classroom dialogues) is a clearly articulated statement of possibility for what can be when equity is established through the elimination of money; the imagination of possibility is ultimately what creates change.

Love the Stock You’re With

Knowing the potential volatility of the Valentine’s Day holiday, I’m going to skip the candy and flowers and head straight to the heart of the matter, for lack of a better metaphor. Everyone can get behind the concept of money, right? As in, more money in your account? More money to console your lack-of-date-having self in Cancun for the weekend? More cash on hand for that inevitable ice cream/shoe-buying binge triggered by Mr. He Who’s Name Will Not Be Mentioned’s aversion to calling?

In this sometimes cold, cruel world, it’s good to know that good stocks can sometimes replace the warm, cozy blanket of human interaction.

We’ve all heard the adage “Buy and Hold.” But what does that mean? Should you buy and hold regardless? How long is a good time to hold? Do you have to act like a day trader, checking ticker symbols every five minutes and acting like an over-caffeinated loony?

If you are interested in getting involved in the stock market, a good place to start is Jim Gard’s The Small Investor Goes to Market. It’s simple, easy to use, and won’t throw any weird jargon at you. It gives step-by-step information about how to get involved in the market without reaching for the Tylenol, and provides a great jumping-in place for the novice investor.

But what about that question of holding? Like all good relationships, a buy and hold stock has to be permitted to develop. Remember those first-date jitters, wanting to make a good impression? That’s like your stock, moments after you buy it. It may fumble the silverware at dinner (lose a few points in the market), take awhile to call you back (underperform), or even fail to hold the door open for you (definite downgrade). But imagine the huge smile on your face when he not only calls, but brings over two dozen roses. That could get Mr. He Who’s Name Will Not Be Mentioned a buy rating, and a one-way ticket to Luckyville.

Most stock analysts will not advise holding a stock for any particular interval of time. Instead, it’s important to observe the stock within the scope of the market. Is it considered a premium or recognizable brand? If so, it’s far more likely to have legs. How does the company’s approach make this stock different, and more likely to succeed? Are they known as a stingy company, or somewhere people are proud to say they work? Seemingly small things like a company’s image, or the perception consumers have, can drive the price of a stock, and determine its long-term worth in your portfolio.

On that note, if you’re looking for a helpful investing tool, try Black Box Investing’s subscription service. Subscribers receive conflict-free research (meaning Black Box has nothing to gain or lose by providing the information) on over 7,000 stocks. They provide technical analysis, using a stock’s performance record to determine whether it’s likely to make you money in the future. I find this service absolutely invaluable to making some of my own stock decisions, and perhaps it can help you, too.

Unless you’d like to renew that “Bitter, Table For One” reservation for next year.

Success Trading: Some Basic Terminology for New Traders

The world of trading can get very complex because the financial markets are complex. There thousands and thousands of successful traders out there today. The amazing thing is that they all have carved their own niches and approach the markets in a unique way. This should be wonderful news for beginning traders because it demonstrates that there are thousands and thousands of different ways to proper in the markets. It’s just a matter of discipline and finding the approach that suits your style and personality. With all that being said, new traders must begin somewhere, so let examine some basic terms and approaches to the markets.

Going Long - This means that you’re betting on the instrument (stock, future, option, etc) to go up and that you want to buy. You purchase the financial instrument, watch it rise and then sell it for a profit. Profit are realized when you buy low and sell high. It’s also known as taking a long position.

Going Short - This means that you’re betting on the instrument to go down and that you want to sell or take a “short position”. A short position is closed out by buying those shares back or “covering” your position. This concept is very confusing to new traders because you’re selling something that you don’t even own. The thing is that you’re still trying to buy low and sell high, you’re just selling high first and buying low later. Think of it this way - you go to a car dealer and order a new car, he charges you $20k and then looks to purchase it for a lower price. That dealer has taken a “short position” on the transaction between you and him. We don’t recommend new traders to take short positions until they learn more about the market.

One thing to keep in mind about short and long positions is that they’re totally different in nature. There are by far more traders out there taking long positions than those taking short ones. Human nature tells us that we buy with the expectation of rising prices. The concept of wanting prices to drop is against human nature and therefore short positions can be more erratic as a result.

High Yield Investments - How To Target 30% + Annual Profits Consistently!

If you want a high yield investment you need to take into account several factors to see if the investment is likely to hit your target growth.

This article will tell you what to look for in terms of picking a high yielding investment manager that could give you 30% + annual profits.

Risk, reward & management

The fact is, most high yielding investments disappoint and this is generally down to the management - Not trading conditions.

Many managers blame the market, but that is simply the same as a bad workman blaming his tools.

To get a high yielding investment, you must be prepared to take a risk, as of course with risk goes reward. The greater the risk the greater the reward, however management of the investment is crucial.

The market is same for all asset managers, but they don’t all have the same success in fact: Most discretionary mutual, futures and hedge funds produce poor returns.

They always seem to do well and when you invest the performance dives!

If you make sure you check the points below your chances of your high yielding investment performing will increase dramatically.

1.Consistency Of performance

On any investment it’s easy sometimes to have short periods of high performance if the market is “easy to trade” i.e. strong trends are present.

Make sure you judge the investment over a three to five year period, to cut down the influence of luck and see how the management performs over a wide variety of trading conditions, not just strong trending markets.

2.Conflict of interest & Fees

Fees add up. Make sure to check the performance figures you see are net of all fees.

Look at all fees and their impact on results given.

If possible, look for a manager who does not get paid a proportion of the dealing fees. This creates a conflict of interest between generating revenue and what’s best for client profits.

This conflict of interest is a major reason for fund managers failing.

The fact that a manager earns fees means he is likely to trade more and create a commission impact on profit and.

3.What is the managers previous performance on ALL funds

Many asset managers simply put forward their best performing account.

You need to look how all funds under their management have performed overtime. Make sure you look over 3 - 5 year periods as a minimum.

4.Method of trading

Try and find out about the methods that are being used to trade your funds.

Generally, the top performing managers will use a long term disciplined technical approach to trading, which aims to liquidate losers quickly and run the big profitable trends.

If you are investing in high yielding investment that is aimed at producing higher returns the method of trading is crucial.

You need to be confident in its ability to make returns longer term, so you have the confidence to stick with the system or manager during losing periods.

5. Drawdown to profit

Look at investment in terms of drawdown as well as profit, as any high yield investment looking for higher returns will have them.

You therefore need to look at performance in terms of severity and length of drawdown.

For example, if an asset manager produces gains of 60% with a 50% drawdown and another does 40% with a 15% drawdown, the latter is probably the better from a risk / reward point of view.

You also need to look at the length of drawdown in terms of peak to valley. If you invested at the worst possible time, how long would it take for you to reach a new high in equity?

Some time spent checking the above will be time well spent

Picking a high yield investment that is right for you is a case of checking all the above facts If you do, it will increase your chances of success dramatically.

If Market Orders Are Not Good, What Do You Do?

We like the concept of using a “limit” order for any stock purchase where we are not physically sitting in front of our computers and watching the action. So first what exactly is a limit order? A limit order allows you to state the exact price (within a couple cents) that you are willing to buy a stock at or “under”. For instance, let’s say you want XYZ and it seems to be moving fast. It was 50.50 a few minutes ago and now its quoted to you at 51.75 Well, we know that a “market order” allows too many games to be played by the market makers, so to short cut them, we would use a limit order. Here we would say to ourselves “XYZ is moving well, but I don’t want to get stuck by the market. It’s at 51.75 and I would be willing to buy it up to 52 dollars and no more.” So we would tell our broker (or use the correct “buttons” to do it on line) that we want to place a “limit order of 52 dollars on XYZ”. What we have done is this, we have said that XYZ may still be moving while we are on the phone and as long as it doesn’t get above 52 we are still willing to buy it. If it moves over 52 we think it has gone too far to make it still attractive. So your order will go in an electronic “book” and will execute as long as XYZ stays under 52. If XYZ “gets away” or in other words runs past 52 while you are on the phone or at your computer, your order will not “fire off”. Next time we will discuss the 2 basic types of limit orders you will run into.

There are two “basic” types of limit orders that you will encounter. First the brokerage will ask ” is this a day order or a good till cancel?” Now what is all that about? Well, when you tell the broker you are willing to buy a stock at 52 or less, he needs to know if you mean for “today” only, or until you call him back and say “nevermind” which can be up to 60 days later. The brokerage will leave your buy order on the books for about 60 days
and if XYZ dips down below 52, your order will fire off and you will get executed. We personally don’t use GTC’s ( good till canceled) orders much because we are “too involved” to not know when it’s pulling under 52, we generally specify a “day order only”.

The best reason to use limit orders is that you are in control of what you are going to spend on a stock instead of the market maker “filling’ you where he wants. But there are problems with limit orders too. If a stock is really moving fast, it means a ton of people are piling in and even though you gave yourself a 1/2 a point of leeway, the stock may “outrun” you or in other words, go past your limit before your order gets executed. Often, especially early in the trading day, we see stocks gaining a couple points in a matter of just a minute or so. Here, your limit order is probably not going to do you any good because the stock is moving so fast you would have to put a limit in that is 3 or 4 points higher than you really want to pay, just for a chance to get in. That is why we often say, let the first few minutes craziness play out before you try and get involved with buying anything.

One last note about limit orders. As you know a stock has a range that it will “wiggle” in during the course of the day. XYZ may open at 50, go to 51, pull back to 49.75 squirt ahead to 51.50 and end the day at 50.75. So one way of playing XYZ is to watch its daily range and place a limit order at or just below its bottom range. For instance if we see that XYZ generally has a full point of “wiggle” to it during the day, and at 10 am it’s trading at 50.50, up 3/4 on the day, why not place a limit order at say 50. that way if during one of its wiggles it falls to 50 before picking up again, you will get it. (Note of course that you would only do this if you are in no big hurry to own XYZ, it may not wiggle down to 50 and you’d never get it.)

The bottom line is that limit orders will keep the market makers a bit more
“honest” as far as your fills go, and you won’t run the risk of getting a stock filled at some ridiculous price that you would never have paid. We urge you to use them, and with a bit of experience, you will have a pretty good idea of how much “headroom” you should give a stock. The last thing we want to say is this, if you place a limit order for XYZ for 52 and it never gets to 52, the market rules say you have to be filled “in order” (first come first serve). So don’t be mistaken to think that your limit is your price. Remember a limit is the “utmost” price you are willing to pay, but if XYZ is at 50.50 and your limit is for 51, you will get XYZ at 50 1/2 when your “turn comes up”. Limits simply keep you from placing an order for a hot stock that is running and you think you are going to get it at say 90, and when you check later you find you bought it at 98! Thats what can (and does) happen with “market orders!”

Are Stock Markets A Good Way To Invest?

Yes, of course, investing in shares is a good option for people who look for long-term investments. There are people who invest in shares for a smaller duration; it may be for 1 week, 1 month or 3 months.

For people who do not know much about share markets and which stocks to buy and sell, then they can invest in mutual funds. In mutual funds, a mutual fund manager who has very good knowledge of the stock markets will manage your funds and you can get good returns on your investment.

The risk as well as reward is high in share market investments. If you invest in shares, which are fundamentally strong, then the risk of losing your principal is less. If you invest in dud shares, then you could lose the money invested with no gain. You should take care of the money you invest in shares and invest in fundamentally strong shares which has good growth potential in the middle and longer term.

Most of the investors due to greed factor invest in low priced stocks which are not fundamentally strong, to make huge money. There have been many bull runs and stocks which have zero value have run up to $100. People have made good money when they quit, when the bull run was at it peak. But many people hold on to the stocks thinking that they would go even higher but when the bears start hammering the stocks, the investors are unable to sell their stocks as there are no buyers for dud shares in the market.

Share market is a good option to invest. If you are thinking of a long-term investment then it is a good option. But, you should never invest all your money in one company. Never put all your eggs in one basket. At the same time you should invest in mutual funds, bank savings, bonds etc, which could provide a fixed rate of interest.

World Recession now Inevitable - Assume the Crash Position!

You can hardly have failed to notice the massive consumer-fuelled boom across most Western economies the last 5 years or so. In the wake of 911, decisions were taken at the very highest levels that a recession at this point would be disastrous, and so it was ‘put off’ with the panacea of low interest rates.

Interest rates, in fact, have been hovering at or near 50 year lows since that time in most developed nations including the US and UK, and have only recently begun to rise back to historical norms in the face of worldwide economic pressures.

The ‘optimistic’ among us seem to think the current situation can continue indefinitely, with a ‘new paradigm’ of low interest rates, easy credit, and massive house price inflation in what is otherwise a low inflation environment. They are, of course, wrong, as the key phrase ‘new paradigm’ should have alerted you. Whenever anyone says ‘it is different this time’ you can safely bet your very last dollar that it isn’t!

But why can’t the current ‘perfect’ situation continue? There are 2 explanations, an easy one and a difficult one. We’ll take the easy one, of course. Imagine you lose your job. You still have bills to pay. So you max out your main credit card buying those little luxuries like food, and mortgage payments. The next month, you still have no job, so you apply for another card, and max that out too. The third month, however, to your horror, you discover that not only do you still not have a job, but the credit card companies won’t advance you any more money, as they are aware of your previous credit binge, and the fact that those debts are still outstanding. You have become a ‘bad risk’.

So what do you do? Go bankrupt? What choice is there? If you have no income, and have no source of borrowing, yet still have outgoings, you are bust. Period. In fact, even if you do find a new job, it must now pay MORE than your old job, because you now also have the interest payments on your new debt to support.

For ‘You’ read ‘America’. For ‘bankrupt’ read ‘recession’. The US, and most other Western states have relied to an incredible degree on cheap credit, happily supplied in the main from the Far East. This situation just changed, with the Chinese ‘warning shot’ across the bows of the dollar, and the smart money is already exiting greenback positions, even though relative to the other main currencies, it should in theory be an attractive home for cash.

The resolution of the current credit bubble may take another year or so to truly unwind, but when it goes, the bust will be BIG. What should you do? Go to cash, and in more than one currency!

For the technically minded, the reason why the coming recession is inevitable, and may even be a ‘depression’, is simply that countries relying on credit to sustain themselves incur ‘carry costs’ of those debts. The more they borrow, the bigger the regular payments become to support just the interest on the debt. There are only 2 ways to pay that off - devalue your currency so the debt becomes worthless, or inflate your economy so your GDP rises at MORE than the growth in carry costs on the debt.

The US cannot devalue the currency deliberately, without obvious severe socio-economic results that will be punishing painful to the American citizen and industry. Politically, of course, this would be suicide for the incumbent US Leader.

The alternative is to spark increased internal economic growth, and this is usually what credit binges are used for - to create new industries, employment etc. In the case if the US, however, the unprecedented sums borrowed from Chine and Japan have been spent on… you guessed it, Chinese Plasma TVs and Japanese game consoles. Oops.

The carry cost has been rising at a rate almost 4 times as fast as the internal US growth for some time now, and has already passed the point where any conceivable US growth schedule can comfortably cope with it. As the Far East just decided the Dollar isn’t so great anymore, there really only is one way out now. Down. Don’t say you weren’t warned!

Trading Tips No 4: Technical Analysis The Holy Grail Syndrome

Everyone knows that the Holy Grail of investing and trading is a myth. Finding a good technical analysis tool that will give you a trading system that wins all the time is called the holy grail of trading. This means that one would never have a losing trade, not to mention consecutive losing trades, never have an equity curve drawdown, and after five winning trades in a row will just keep on delivering winning trades forever! There is simply no technical analysis or system that wins on every trade.

Then why do most losing traders act as if there is or should be a trading system holy grail? You know the symptoms. When considering a new system to trade, losing traders will only consider those that have had a strong winning record for the prior month or quarter. They will jump from one system to another looking for the latest “hot” system, passing up or abandoning good systems that have had a good long-term record of accomplishment simply because they may have lost on the last three, four, or five trades. A good system can and will have five losers in a row. Likewise, a bad system can and will have five winners in a row. Therefore, selecting a trading system based on its most recent short-term record is a loser’s game - it’s the loser looking for the next system with a “holy grail” mentality.

Winners, on the other hand, know how to use good technical analysis that will properly evaluate a trading system to determine if it is good or not. Once they have found a good system and a technical analysis tool that delivers superior returns consistently over a long period of time (years), they stick with it. Even after they have had five losing trades in a row, they stick with it. Because they know while the Holy Grail does not exist, a good system will follow those losing trades with winners that more than offset the losers and deliver superior returns.

Think like a winner.

Simple Strategies to Making Financial Gain

Now is a great time to make it a habit to manage your resources instead of your resources managing you. What is meant by that when we are stating that “Your money manages you”? Here is a well known example:

“There is more month than there is money so that new purchase, trip, or splurging will need to wait a month or two and maybe never. You’ve opted to instead delay and pay later making the problem much worst and your perceived lack of resources in control.” Here are some proven techniques to making financial gains an achievable goal by repositioning and changing spending habits while gaining more control of your situation so that there are available resources and time to spend with friends, family or loved ones.

One of the most overstated, undervalued and available resource accessible to anyone is time. Effective time management when applied consistently is a key element toward making financial progress. Even spare time moments resourcefully used contribute toward steady progress when used in combination with any of the following:

1. Establish investments. Based on your risk assessment it is determined the best type of investment program suitable for your personality type and financial situation by either doing the research for yourself, by attending that appointment with a financial planner or by inquiring through a brokerage. Purchase examples, of course, are stocks, mutual funds, bonds, money market funds, annuities, etc. Because these figures will fluctuate, fit into your schedule a time to assess your portfolio periodically to check your progress. Your return on your investment can be substantial or relatively consistent with proper selection and combinations.

2. Purchase real estate. Buying property is another way to invest to create financial gain; and making improvements after the purchase increases the value of the property. Not only are you saving money by placing regular payments into your real estate; but if strategically paid ownership accumulation can happen at a faster rate and with very minimal increase to your payment. One such company offering this type of arrangement with no processing cost added is at http://www.eMortgageManager.net. With this service the mortgage payment is split into two parts. Each half is paid automatically every two weeks. It’s very effective and easy to set up. This is a triple win for those who use this strategy with a single purchase.

3. Take classes, take up a hobby or acquire a skill. How do you spend most of your time? Do you waste valuable hours lamenting in self-pity, bad luck or a disadvantaged set of circumstances? Or will you take active control to resolve the situation?

If there is an interest there is a class for it. And now that there’s the internet taking a class is just as easy as leisurely clicking a link. There are many available classes that are free, or via email and some that may cost a bill or two to enter a site. Or if you’d prefer, take a class at local colleges or universities which offer that immediate one on one support available through that type of arrangement. Your local library or museum may schedule classes or speakers covering a variety of subjects, too. Some locations even award certificates after completion if that is your requirement.

Increasing your knowledge or skills over the long term not only provides confidence and mastery of skills developed by use of what is called putting in your “sweat equity” by taking the necessary courses and steps, but it will also provide flexibility by creating for you a new source of income using your newly developed talent(s) or expertise.

You may offer for a fee a service, provide a product (or product line), to sell your knowledge or in any of the combinations listed through your choice of method at a profit giving you unlimited possibilities. When used separately or together the above suggestions work effectively over time giving to you the increase that you’ve longed desired. Use your spare time moments to work for you effortlessly and automatically…even with family, friends or loved ones.
