Stock Investing Ebook Review

Everything Is Explained With The Help of Examples, Graphs,
Pictures And No Technical Analysis Involve

Step 1 - Step 2 - Step 3... This is how you'll trade

Hello friends,
I have found "Secrets of Successful Traders" an excellent book.
It is precise, concise and uses language that is very easy to understand.
It covers all the stages of stock trading in an easy step by step way.

You could go out and buy a dozen stock investing ebooks on the stock market
and not have all the information contained in this one book.

So even if after reading the book you decided that stock trading was not
for you, you will have discovered that at minimal cost.

Kind Regards,
Michael Garvey.

Essentials Of Stock Selections

We recommend a top-down approach to stock investing. In light of that, we designed a four-step process that you should go through when initiating new positions.

STEP 1: Market

What to do: Use the NYSE Bullish Percent, Option Stock Bullish Percent, OTC Bullish Percent, High-Low Index, Ten Week, and other indicators to determine if you play offense or defense.

STEP 2: Sector

What to do: Determine which sectors suggest offense (and what their respective field position is)—those in a column of Xs on their sector bullish percent chart. It is best to stay with sectors that are bullish and below 50 percent. Determine how a sector is doing relative to the S&P 500. Ideally, you want to invest in sectors that are outperforming the SPX (those that are in a column of Xs on their RS chart).

STEP 3: Fundamentals

What to do: Create and maintain an inventory of stocks to work from. Use any number of sources available to determine which stocks are fundamentally sound. In this step you are pinpointing which specific stock to buy.

STEP 4: Technicals

What to do: Review fundamentally sound stocks on a technical basis to cull those controlled by demand, those that demonstrate the best technical picture. This will narrow your fundamental inventory down to those issues with the best probability of moving higher. In this step you are determining when to buy a specific stock.

In summary, try to follow this four-step checklist when initiating new positions. By paying attention to the stock trading and the sector risks (opportunities), and then coupling the fundamentals with the technicals, your odds of success should increase. Not every trade will work out, but this gives you a definable game plan, something most investors don’t have. Stick to the plan, make your decision, then manage the outcome.

Why do stock prices change??

Some believe that it isn't possible to predict how stocks will change in price while others think that by drawing charts and looking at past price movements, you can determine when to buy and sell. The only thing we do know as a certainty is that stocks are volatile and can change in price extremely rapidly.

Here are the important things to grasp about this subject:

1.
At the most fundamental level, supply and demand in the market determine stock price.

2.
Price times the number of shares outstanding (market capitalization) is the value of a company. Comparing just the share price of two companies is meaningless.

3.
Theoretically earnings are what affect investors' valuation of a company, but there are other indicators that investors use to predict stock price. Remember, it is investors' sentiments, attitudes, and expectations that ultimately affect stock prices.

4.
There are many theories that try to explain the way stock prices move the way they do. Unfortunately, there is no one theory that can explain everything.
Buying Stocks

You've now learned what a stock is and a little bit about the principles behind the stock trading, but how do you actually go about buying stocks? Thankfully you don't have to go down into the trading pit yelling and screaming your order.

There are two main ways to purchase stock:

1.
Using a Brokerage The most common method to buy stocks is to use a brokerage.

Brokerages come in two different flavors.

Full-service brokerages offer you (supposedly) expert advice and can manage your account but also charge a lot.

Discount brokerages offer little in the way of personal attention but are much cheaper.

At one time, only the wealthy could afford a broker since only the expensive, full-service brokers were available. With the Internet came the explosion of online discount brokers. Because of them nearly anybody can now afford to invest in the market. We've actually got a whole separate tutorial on brokers and online trading, and you can check it out here.

2.
DRIPs & DIPs Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs) and Direct Investment Plans (DIPs) are plans with which individual companies, for a minimal cost, allow shareholders to purchase stock directly from the company. Drips are a great way to invest small amounts of money at regular intervals.

Investor Mistakes - Every Investor Should Read It

Below we have listed a few common investor mistakes. Try to avoid making these mistakes with your investments.

1.
Falling in love with a position. An account has limited capital, so ask yourself if the position is the best one to be in here. Are you tying up capital that can be put to better use elsewhere? Don’t get sucked into the fundamental story—that is, don’t hold on to a stock whose technical picture has deteriorated just because you are intoxicated with the reasons for your choice.

2.
Buying the stock right, but forgetting to sell it right. There are two foul shots to make successfully with respect to investing. You must buy the stock right, and then you must sell the stock correctly. Therefore, once you buy a stock in stock market you must review it on a regular basis; don’t just forget about it. Attempt to sink both foul shots.

3.
Not having a game plan for investing. Investors will haphazardly, especially in a strong market, pick stocks to buy, thinking that the stock market is easy to beat. They fail to realize there is risk, not only reward. Therefore, it is essential to have a game plan that helps dictate what stocks to buy and when, and also tells you when to sell or play defense.

4.
Buying stocks that are extended. When you buy a stock that is up on a stem, it increases your risk and diminishes your potential reward. Rather, it is best to buy a stock when it pulls back closer to support, thereby increasing the potential upside reward, and diminishing the risk to the stop-loss point.

5.
Taking small gains, but not being willing to take small losses. Be willing to take small losses by adhering to your stop-loss points. Avoiding large losses will keep you in the game. You will not be right on every trade, so be willing to bail out and take the small loss when the technical picture so dictates.

6.
Buying a stock that is trending down, thinking that it is cheap, or a value. Often, these types of stocks become an even better value because they continue to fall in price. Ideally, it is best to stick to stocks that are in an overall uptrend, trading above their bullish support line and exhibiting positive relative strength. These are the stocks that are in demand and should be considered for purchase.

7.
Acting on poor advice, stock trading tips, and financial media hype. Many investors try to get rich quick without doing their homework. They rely on the TV or financial media to tell them what to buy. Instead, take the time to educate yourself, to arm yourself with a game plan. Then you will be able to make sound, informed decisions. Take responsibility for your own success. Don’t rely on get-rich-quick schemes and rumors. Do your own research.

8.
Getting emotional and not being able to stay objective. Any investor knows that emotions can be your worst enemy. Try to stay objective. The point and figure chart helps you accomplish this because a picture paints a thousand words. When looking at the chart, cover up the name of the stock. Make your decision on what the chart is telling you, therefore taking the emotion out of knowing the name of the stock.
