Developing a Small Cap Trading Plan

Small Cap Investing — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 00:21:52 +0000

When you trade small cap stocks (or anything really) do you have a clear plan or are you just trading because you can? To break free from serious losses, including account destruction, and enter the realm of professionalism, you must have a clear trading plan in place before entering any position. The Macro Small Cap Trading [...]

Energy Stock Pick – Pattern Trade

Small Cap Investing — Sun, 30 May 2010 01:30:32 +0000

In the middle of last week, I found what I thought was a pretty strong case for pattern trading. Rather than post it here, I wanted to see if the stock would fall on Friday first, which would give even more credibility to the idea. Well, it happened. As part of a Friday, holiday weekend, end-of-the-month [...]

Small Cap Oil Stock Pick — Trade Potential

Small Cap Investing — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:02:11 +0000

Over the past couple of days I have been looking at a particular small cap oil stock’s chart and felt I had a handle on two-way price action for it. As of this weekend, I was thinking that shorting the stock would be a good idea for a nice 25 cent per share gain and [...]

iShares S&P Small Cap 600 Value Fund Declines

Small Cap Investing — Tue, 18 May 2010 23:20:11 +0000

iShares S&P Small Cap 600 Value Index Fund (IJS) fell by almost 2% today. In fact, there was a $3 swing in the day’s trading range. A very small portion of the downfall was captured back in after-hours trading, but the stock chart shows an obvious downtrend. What caused the drop and should owners be concerned? While I don’t own IJS—I’d rather create my own basket of stocks—it is interesting to see what is pulling down this small caps fund as a whole.

While you could go to a place like finance.yahoo.com and screen through stocks to find what you want, I thought it would be beneficial to have some simple lists, with links, here [...]

Small Cap Gold Mining Stocks – A Wise Play?

Small Cap Investing — Fri, 14 May 2010 18:12:08 +0000

Unless you live under a rock, you know gold continues to be hot. My favorite gold ETF that I’ve made money with has been rising each year. As more and more investors shift toward a gold investment strategy, they look for gold-based plays aside from straight gold ownership and that usually means mining stocks. But [...]

Is This Small Cap Agriculture Player Poised to Rise?

Small Cap Investing — Wed, 12 May 2010 00:14:45 +0000

Today, I was reading an article at the Financial Times that was about US Department of Agriculture stating that global agriculture stocks are going to rise for the 3rd year in a row (40% over past three years). It got me thinking about small cap stocks in the agriculture industry. Are there any that might [...]

Worst Stock Screener For Small Caps

Small Cap Investing — Mon, 10 May 2010 22:14:47 +0000

Today, I decided to browse around for free stock screeners to see what was out there. Typically, I recommend the screeners over at Yahoo Finance and Google Finance. But it’s a big world out there, so I figured there had to be something better offered for free. And that’s when I visited the worst stocks screener [...]
