Fundamentals vs Technicals

2009-01-28T12:49:00.000Z

Every once in a while, I like to flip the TV channels and watch Jim Cramer on CNBC. It’s not that I think that Jim Cramer is a spectacular trader, I just think he is a talented and amusing guy. The last time I tuned on the tube, CNBC’s Jim Cramer was naming his top five picks to get you through these recessionary times.

So with pencil in hand, I quickly scribbled down his top five stock picks on a piece of paper and shoved it into my pocket. I actually forgot about Mr. Cramer’s picks until today when I found this crumpled piece of paper with my handwriting on it. This paper listed the five stocks that Mr. Cramer picked on the close of business on January 8.

So here are Mr Cramer’s top 5 picks and where they closed on 1/08/09:

Caterpillar: (NYSE_CAT) - Closed @ 44.08
Home Depot: (NYSE_HD) - Closed @ 24.38
Johnson and Johnson: (NYSE_JNJ ) - Closed @ 59.02
Hewlett - Packard Company: (NYSE_HPQ) - Closed @ 37.61
Verizon Communications: (NYSE_VZ) - Closed @ 32.42

So I decided to put MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology right next to Jim Cramer’s picks to compare how we both have done for the past few weeks. The one thing that struck me as odd with Mr. Cramer’s trading, is that he never seems to implement a stop loss technique. He talks about money management, but never about the use of stops. He just seems to let his positions run. For example, in the case of Caterpillar (NYSE_CAT), Mr Cramer’s first pick is down 25% from the date it was recommended. I don’t know about you, but a 25% loss in any market is enough to give me the heebie jeebies.

TRADE TRIANGLE Vs CRAMER

Admittedly that’s extreme, but if your only looking for a 25% upmove and the stock is down 25% you really have to make 50% just to get back to even. It’s the type of trading I just don’t understand. I learned a long time ago that trying to pick bottoms and tops in the markets is a loser’s game and a futile exercise that can be very expensive.

So, if Mr. Cramer is long all the stocks listed above, what positions is MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology suggesting for those stocks … are we long or are we short? Well, it turns out we are short all of the above stocks and we see the trend in those stocks as still being negative.

So what’s an investor to do? You can be entertained by Jim Cramer or you can use the “Trade Triangles” to scientifically make money in the markets. The great thing about MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology is that there is no emotion in the signals, it is purely a mathematical algorithm that keeps you on the side with the better odds.

A systematic market proven program approach has flaws like anything else. However, if one follows an approach like this you will make money over time. It also allows you to sleep much better at night when using a systematic program to buy and sell stocks, futures, precious metals and the forex markets.

So while Mr. Cramer is enormously popular and entertaining, I’m not sure that I would want to put my money with this type of approach. I would much rather approach the market in a systematic, scientific way knowing that the odds are in my favor.

We will follow up on these trades when we receive a buy signal or an exit-short position signal and we’ll see exactly how our “Trade Triangle” technology is working vis-a-vis Mr. Cramer.

SEE THE ACTION UNFOLD HERE

Please feel free to make comments on this post and if Mr. Cramer decides to cover his positions and you hear about it first let us know and we will make any adjustments necessary. Thanks.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Blue chip stocks - not a poker game

2009-01-03T00:55:00.003Z

Investing in conservative blue chip stocks may not have the allure of a hot high-tech investment, but it can be highly rewarding nonetheless, as good quality stocks have outperformed other investment classes over the long term.

Historically, investing in stocks has generated a return, over time, of between 11 and 15 percent annually depending how aggressive you are. Stocks outperform other investments since they incur more risk. Stock investors are at the bottom of the corporate "food chain." First, companies have to pay their employees and suppliers. Then they pay their bondholders. After this come the preferred shareholders. Companies have an obligation to pay all these stakeholders first, and if there is money leftover it is paid to the stockholders through dividends or retained earnings. Sometimes there is a lot of money left over for stockholders, and in other cases there isn't. Thus, investing in stocks is risky because investors never know exactly what they are going to receive for their investment.

What are the attractions of blue chip stocks? 1. Great long-term rates of return.

2. Unlike mutual funds, another relatively safe, long term investment category, there are no ongoing fees.

3. You become a owner of a company.

So much for the benefits - what about the risks? 1. Some investors can't tolerate both the risk associated with investing in the stock market and the risk associated with investing in one company. Not all blue chips are created equal.

2. If you don't have the time and skill to identify a good quality company at a fair price don't invest directly. Rather, you should consider a good mutual fund.

Selecting a blue chip company is only part of the battle - determining the appropriate price is the other. Theoretically, the value of a stock is the present value of all future cash flows discounted at the appropriate discount rate. However, like most theoretical answers, this doesn't fully explain reality. In reality supply and demand for a stock sets the stock's daily price, and demand for a stock will increase or decrease depending of the outlook for a company. Thus, stock prices are driven by investor expectations for a company, the more favorable the expectations the better the stock price. In short, the stock market is a voting machine and much of the time it is voting based on investors' fear or greed, not on their rational assessments of value. Stock prices can swing widely in the short-term but they eventually converge to their intrinsic value over the long-term.

Investors should look at good companies with great expectations that are not yet imbedded in the price of a stock.

What's ahead for Apple? (New Video)

2008-11-18T14:43:00.001Z

I was looking over several charts this past weekend and I was shocked to recognize a chart formation playing out before my very eyes. I've seen this same formation a million times before, but I just didn't want to believe it could be happening to my favorite stock, Apple (NASDAQ_AAPL). Some would call this denial.

In the past I've written extensively about Apple products on this blog. If you have read any of these postings, you'd know how crazy I am about their products.

Several months ago I discovered a major technical formation that spelled trouble for Apple. I have to admit that I was saddened by this. This formation was also picked up by our "Trade Triangle" technology. Our algorithm triggered a sell signal and has continued to suggest a short position for Apple all this time.

Watch my new video on Apple.HERE NOW

I was surprised that we've seen this market come down so easily. It seems like every time I visit an Apple store they are always busy and their products always seem to be selling well.

The question is, are we at the end of the iPod era?

Given the chart formation, the double top and pivot point, it seems we are headed lower. The Pivot Point measures down to the $40-$50 range and Apple at $90 still has a long way to go on the downside.

What caught my eye this weekend was a weekly continuation pattern to the downside and the fact that Apple closed at a new weekly low for the year. This is not a bullish sign by any stretch of the imagination.

For this coming week, I expect to see further downside pressure on Apple. I believe that we are going to be looking at the $50-60 dollar range as our target zone. Of course everything within will be tempered by our "Trade Triangle" technology. When our short-term "Trade Triangle" turns positive, we will close out short positions and take to the sidelines. In my opinion, it's going to take some time for this market to improve and turn around. The technicals are just too weak at the moment.

Is Gold the Game Changer?

2008-11-01T19:21:00.000Z

With the problems currently hitting the stock market from right, left and centre Gold is becoming more and more appealing by the day and more investors are coming to this realisation. Are You one of them? Anyway before you answer that question i will encourage you to WATCH THIS VIDEO

Wasn't crude oil supposed to go to 200 a barrel?

2008-09-12T16:30:00.001+01:00

It's true, the rumors were circulating heavily when crude oil was trading at 145 a barrel that it was going to be hitting 200 a barrel in a matter of days or weeks at the very latest. Well, that never happened. Crude oil learned that gravity plays a part in every commodity market's life.

The pullback in crude oil, given the fact that a major hurricane named Ike is shooting for the gulf, is not so surprising given the history of the commodity markets. Often times we see pressure coming into a market months ahead of the actual news that either production has been increased or demand fluctuation has changed the dynamics of the marketplace.

Take a few minutes and watch this short video and see how we have been looking at crude oil. Afterwards, check out our track record in this market for the past 12 months.

I hope you find time to quickly browse through this video as it will certainly give you some good trading tips on how to improve your own trading.

Wasn't gold supposed to hit $2,000 an ounce?

2008-09-12T16:28:00.000+01:00

To many it is quite surprising that gold is getting closer to 700 an ounce rather than the 2,000 many were calling for. When gold was trading at the 1,000 level many people were expecting this market to zoom to 2,000 an ounce.

When we first suggested that gold had actually given us a sell signal we received numerous e-mails, many of which were not flattering and some were just downright ugly. "How could you short gold are you an imbecile" and that was one of the nicer emails.

Emails aside, to trade successfully in any market you must listen to the market. This is the one true voice that tells you what is going on.

During my career in the commodity markets, I have heard many stories, some of which were fabricated and some of which are true, but either have little or no bearing on the market itself. The very best indicator of all is to follow the price action which tells you when the insid ers are selling or buying. In the commodity markets you have insiders who actually produce a commodity or the actual end-user of that commodity. Everything else is speculation. These insiders have extensive networks of global information that they plug-in to their hedging models. They also have extensive experiences and know what it's like to be in the trading trenches of any market.

Take a few minutes and look at the short video I just produced to show you exactly what I mean and how the patterns are different this time in gold and why it may have still further to fall.

Nature or Nurture...what makes a great trader?

2008-07-23T14:43:00.002+01:00

just finished watching a seminar by a gentleman that was in an experimental trading group. I was so interested in the idea of this experiment that I had to watch the whole thing.

In the early 80s, two men were in a debate about how great traders are made. Is it nature or nurture? Are great traders born with a natural intuition for economics, human psychology and self-discipline, or are great traders a product of intense education and practice? Out of this question emerged an experimental trading group called the "Turtles". These people, with little to no trading experience were put through a vigorous training in trend following.

www.ino.com

Out of this experimental group, Russell Sands was one of the first trainees. In this INO TV presentation, "I Am A Turtle," Sands shares th e lessons and methodologies that his professional trainers taught him.

It's a great seminar and I hope you check it out. Send me any feedback you may have and stay tuned to INO TV for our next set of complimentary seminars.

The Stock Trading Robot "Marl"

2008-03-07T03:52:00.005Z

Read About How You Could Use This Robot to Earn Thousands of Dollars...

Have you heard of "Marl" The Stock Robot the first commercially available stock picking robot” which is available for $28,000 per license, which includes a week of training in the programmer’s home. When first activated, Marl will use its own database to perform a scan of stocks trading on the OTC and Pink sheet exchanges. During this time Marl is looking for companies whom are forming bullish trading patterns.(stocks about to increase)

The programmers program the bot to identify (in split second timing) distinct trading patterns from a vast range of 6578, held in Marl's internal database.

If Marl identifies a clean, uncongested chart pattern, that is proven to yield a good risk/reward - Then the stock will be added to Marl's "Watch List". All of these "watched stocks" will be forming bullish patterns (indicating the stock is about to rise).

This watch list has two distinct advantages. The first and most obvious is that Marl can easily monitor hundreds of stocks at the same time. The second is that Marl is programmed on an "evolutionary framework". What this means, is that as Marl is watching hundreds of stock patterns it actually learns the most likely direction of stock prices under thousands of situations. The longer you allow the program to run the more advanced it becomes. I know all this might sound a bit too much for you (It did for me) but after going through the wesbsite and reading independent reviews on the Program i decided to try it out since the programmers know that not many people have $28,000 to "risk" on buying a Stock Trading Robot they created a weekly newsletter, named "Doubling Stocks". Each week every reader of that newsletter would receive one Penny Stock pick chosen by Marl The Stock Robot.

Stock Market Commentry

2008-02-28T03:05:00.006Z

The March NASDAQ 100 closed higher on Wednesday and above the 20-day
moving average crossing at 1796.27. The high-
range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Thursday.
Stochastics and the RSI are bullish signaling that
sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. Multiple closes above
the reaction high crossing at 1831.25 are needed to
confirm that a short-term low has been posted. If March renews last
week's decline, January's low crossing at 1698.25 is the
next downside target. Closes above 1879.00 are needed to renew the
rally off January's low.

The March S&P 500 index closed lower on Wednesday and the mid-range
close sets the stage for a steady opening on
Wednesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling that
sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If March
extends this week's rally, the reaction high crossing at 1400.10 is the
next upside target. Closes above 1400.10 are needed to
renew the rally off January's low and would open the door for a
possible test of the 50% retracement level of the October-
January decline crossing at 1426.40 later this year. Closes below the
reaction low crossing at 1327.50 would confirm that a
short-term top has been posted while opening the door for additional
weakness into early-March.

The Dow closed slightly higher on Wednesday as it extends this week's
rally. The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady
opening on Thursday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling
that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If
the Dow extends this week's rally, the reaction high crossing at 12,767
is the next upside target. Closes above the reaction high
crossing at 12,767 are needed to renew the rally off January's low and
would open the door for a larger-degree rally into early-
March. Closes below the reaction low crossing at 12,069 would confirm
that a short-term top has been posted while opening the
door for additional weakness and a possible test of January's low
crossing at 11,634.

Risks & Rewards of Penny Stocks

2008-02-25T03:11:00.001Z

Penny stocks do not require you to have a big cash outlay to get started. All you need to spend is just a fraction of penny or maybe as much as $5 per stock. These stocks carry tremendous reward potential, but at the same time, they carry more risks than other regular investments. For example, the penny stock may go from 20 cents to as high as 20 dollars or it may just prove worthless with literally no return.

How to Invest in Penny Stocks
Making investments in penny stocks is quite easy. Contact a brokerage service and open a brokerage account with them. Your broker will take care of the rest. However, every time you buy or sell a stock, you must pay a small fee to the broker.

How To Avoid Risks With Penny Stocks
There are always risks associated with penny stocks. Because of the volatile nature of the shares, you may even lose all your money. However, if you follow a proper strategy, you can certainly minimize the risks.

Remember that penny stocks are low-priced shares, not free. If someone offers to sell penny stocks free of cost, be alert. Two of the sources of such free offers may include an unsolicited email or a free newsletter. In most cases, these are just propaganda.

Only invest in penny stocks that are listed on the premier exchanges.

The higher the volume of the stocks, the safer your investment is. If the volume is, less than twenty thousand shares traded per day, you should understand there is something wrong with the stock.

One of the best ways to avoid risks is to do your own research. Get a feel for the company and analyze how it makes its money. Make sure that the company has a strong business plan and a good profit history. Keep an eye on the trend of improvement

If you cannot do the research on your own, it is always prudent to take the services of a professional stock-picking newsletter. As discussed earlier, a free newsletter cannot be professional and genuine. Therefore, be ready to pay for the newsletter.

Never put all your money into one stock.

More About Penny Stocks
Penny stocks are simply the low-priced speculative securities of small companies. The greatest advantage with these stocks is that they can turn your small investment into a fortune. The greatest risk associated with these stocks is their volatile nature. However, if you follow a proper strategy, you can minimize these risks.

Shares Performance in Different Economic Cycles

2008-02-17T23:54:00.002Z

As a Stock Trader it is important to understand the stages of the economic cycle and what share to invest in within a particular cycle. Economic Indicators such as Interest rates, GDP, Industrial Production etc. etc. helps to understand what direction the economy is headed and as such we look at how the different sectors behave at different stages of the economic cycle.

During Early Expansion you find the technology sector tends to do very well and some of the industries you can find in this sector are: Computer software & services, Electronics, Office equipment & supplies etc..

During the Middle expansion the "Capital Goods" sector tends to do very well and some of the industries within this sector are Manufacturing, Heavy duty trucks & parts, Aerospace, Electrical equipment etc...

We then move onto the Late Expansion where the Energy, Basic Materials and Consumer staples sector tends to give one of their best performances.

The Early Contraction has the Utilities and Consumer Staples sector struggling to outshine each other and some of the industries within the Utility & Consumer Staples are Natural Gas, Electric Companies, Beverages, Health Care, Tobacco, Retails etc...

Financials and Consumer Cycles Sector performs best during Late Contraction. Some of the Industries under Consumer Cycles are Toys, Media, Automobiles, Hotel/Leisure etc.. while the financials has Personal Loans, Insurance, Brokerage etc...

Its no rocket science understanding why things work this way... Take for example when the economy begins to do badly people tend to drink more alcohol, smoke more and inevitably there is an increase in health issues. So understanding what the economy is doing at any particular time helps you as a Stock Trader to understand what direction to go.

Online Stock Trading- Deciding Your Time Frame.

2008-02-13T03:55:00.003Z

In Online Stock Trading, before you start doing your analysis you need to know how much time you intend to spend trading. Do you want to spend 1 hour a day? 1 hour a week? 1 hour a month? 1 hour a year? or maybe trading full time?

Spending more time trading does not necessarily mean bigger profits. Spending 30 minutes every couple of days on your investing can often generate bigger returns than spending 8 hours a day trading! The reason i decided to touch this area is because once you know how much time you want to spend investing you will know what type of Stock chart to look at for doing your analysis. Below are a few guidelines:

If you intend to spend several hours a day in your online stock trading, and expect to hold your share for a time period ranging between 1 to 7 days you are better off looking at a stock chart with 1 to 3 months worth of data (If day trading then use smaller time frame).

Trading 30 minutes every few days and expect to hold share for a few days up to several weeks, you should be looking at a stock chart with about 6 months worth of data.

Trading 1 hour a week and expect to hold share for a few weeks up to a few months, you should in this case be looking at a stock chart with 6 to 12 months worth of data.

If you then intend to spend 1 hour every month on your online stock trading and expect to hold share for several months up to 1 year and above you are strongly advised to look at a stock chart with 12 months to several years worth of data.

Whether trading Stocks - Futures - Forex, it is important to understand work out the appropriate time frame you intend to trade as looking at the wrong data collection will cause you a lot of fake outs.

Using Indicators For Buy and sell Signals Contd.

2008-02-09T15:22:00.000Z

Oscillating Trending

Understanding what type of indicators that you can use for price movement prediction requires that you understand certain things about indicators.
There are Trend Following Indicators; these you use with shares that are doing long trending moves and there are Oscillating Indicators that you use with shares that are oscillating up and down.

RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a good indicator to use on a share price that is doing fairly large trending moves, although it can also show when an oscillating share looks ready to break out and start trending.

Moving Averages are another trend following indicator. With this indicator, we get a long (buy signal) when the two indicator lines cross to go up, and a sell signal when they cross to go down. For short to medium term trading (up to 6 months) good settings are 10 and 20 and for long term 100 and 200 (days).

A good Indicator for Oscillating shares is Stochastics. For a short to medium term trading the setting are 12,3,3 (fast stochastics) and for long term trading 20,12,9 (slow stochastics). You get a buy signal when the two stochastic lines cross each other to start going up and a sell signal when they cross to start going down.

Note that the further down the buy signal appears, the stronger it is, and the higher up the page the sell signal appears the stronger it is.

as long as you have a general understanding on what time frame you are looking at with respect to the trade you are about to enter, your charting software will normally input the above parameters on default.

Using Indicators for Buy And Sell Signals.

2008-02-07T05:15:00.000Z

One Stock Market Indicator that i use very much along side my Stock Charts is the Trading Volume. The Trading Volume is the number of shares bought and sold in a day. The way i use the trading volume indicator is to watch for when there is an exceptional high volume (at least twice the average normal volume).

A high volume day is usually a reversal signal, meaning that the share price should change direction. For example when the share has been dropping as shown in the graph above and you notice a volume bar at least twice as big as usual you would expect the Share Price to change direction and go up the next day. But i do not recommend that you use this indicator in isolation (do not enter a buy position simply because there was a volume surge) but rather that it be used as one of the tools in your tool box as a Stock Trader. However in my experience i have observed that majority of the time this phenomenon comes true as it is one of the major stock market indicator being watched by other traders and this makes it almost self fulfilling.

UNDERSTANDING BASICS OF STOCKS

2008-02-05T15:43:00.000Z

Many Stock Traders today prefer to buy stocks online because of the flexibility that has resulted from being able to buy and sell stocks from their computers at own time. Also ONLINE BROKERS offer the individual a whole wealth of information to analyze and internalize before making the investment. Further the commission that these service providers charge on each transaction is much less than what on-floor brokers do. So the investor earns a lot more on every transaction, that is not to say that Stock Trading online hasn't got its shortfalls as we will discuss as we go along.

But to be successful in the Stock Market one is required to have some primary knowledge as to what Stock is worth investing in and what is the expected returns on Investment respect to the life span of the investment. I will briefly try to explain a few fundamental things that any investor on the stock markets should know. And since you will be investing online and there will be no guide for you, knowing these basics will definitely stand you in good stead.

Small-cap

These are shares of companies that have recently come up. They are small in size and are still finding their way. Generally it is a company with a market capitalization of between $300 million and $2 billion, you get their shares for less but you are taking a higher risk too.

Mid-cap

Comparatively larger companies, which have been now around for a few years and have largely stabilized themselves. Stocks are prices higher than small-caps but involves less risk.

Large-cap

Shares of huge companies that have been around for ages and are also companies with a market capitalization value of more than $10 billion. They are Premium-priced stocks with a lot of security.

Welcome to Stock Market Success

2008-02-04T04:55:00.000Z

Welcome to my blog " Stock Market Success" which i set up to help Understand the nature of the stock market, including its pros and cons.Many people fear that in order for them to know the nature of the stock market, they have to understand a gamut of stock and marketing terms and all that jazz.On the other hand, some people saw behind the veneer of all these economic gibberish, and saw the potentials of what they could get from investing in the stock market.

A stock is simply a form of a person's ownership and claims in an incorporated company. A person who owns stocks in a company has a claim on its properties and profits. He also takes part in decision making. As he buys more and more shares in that particular company's stocks, his ownership stake increases and becomes greater.

Stock Market Success can be achieved quite easily with the right trading techniques, tools and attitude. All these will be covered as we go along and i promise that every new post will be an extra tool added to your toolkit or a reminder that you have got the tool.
