Making A Volatile Stock Market Your Very Best Friend By: Steve Selengut | - Most people never forget their first love. I'll never forget my first trading profit --- but the 600 1970 dollars I pocketed on Royal Dutch Petroleum was not nearly as significant as the conceptual realization it signaled.

There are two extremely good reasons why your portfolio may not be "performing" (whatever that means) either as well as you would like or as well as your buddies say that they have been doing. But let's define our terms before digging any deeper. None of you have done as well in the equity market as investment grade value stock investors.
A week or two ago, while exchanging ideas at an AAII chapter meeting somewhere in the Northeast, a comparison was made between a professionally directed "Market Cycle Investment Management" (MCIM) portfolio and any of several "High Dividend Select" equity ETFs.

The Dow Jones Industrials --- A Blue Chip Average No More By: Steve Selengut | - In addition to a well thought out investment plan, successful equity investing requires a feel for what is going on in the real world we refer to as "the market".

Need A Gps For Your Investment Portfolio? By: Steve Selengut | -
"Hey 'Deep Pockets', what were you doing on October 19th, 1987", the Wall Street Jungle reporter asked?
I was gritting my teeth, shaking more than just a little, palms sweaty but placing dozens of individual orders for the best NYSE, dividend-paying, companies --- at prices that nearly everyone thought would drop even further.

Basics Of Investing: Cruise Control Hedging By: Steve Selengut | - Most people enter the investment arena thinking that "Risk" is a board game they played in college. Today, I would guess that the majority of investors have never owned an individual share of common stock or a Municipal Bond.

Both former "causes" are more powerful than ever before because there is more "self direct ... Tags:Equity, Speculator, Investor, Mutual Fund, stocks

The Investor's Creed --- A Much More Practical Approach By: Steve Selengut | - Fascinating, isn't it, this stock market of ours, with its unpredictability, promise, and unscripted daily drama.

Investment Retrospective: A Preemptive Portfolio Protection Strategy By: Steve Selengut | - A participant in the morning Working Capital Model (WCM) investment workshop observed: I've noticed that my account balances are returning to their (June 2007) levels. People are talking down the economy and the dollar. Is there any preemptive action I need to take?

This Stock Market Correction Is Dead By: Steve Selengut | - Actually, hindsight and the Investment Grade Value Stock Index (IGVSI) Bargain Level Monitor tell us that it died early in March 2009. More realistically, however, corrections don't die quite so abruptly. They are supplanted by rallies--- and vice versa.

Their "eliteness" is earned by a B+ or higher S & P rating, a history of profitability, and the fact that they pay d ...

Golf And Investing: Optimism, Focus, And Education By: Steve Selengut | - You knew it the moment it left the club, that spark at contact when you catch it just right. You look up. It's just reaching the top of its climb--- and heading down right at the pin, a pin positioned left of center on the elevated green, much too close to the water.
This could be the one! Four mouths hang open, not a sound. Then whack, the ball strikes low on the stick and disappears; the pin wobbles; the ball is nowhere to be seen---

Investment Performance Evaluation Re-evaluated: Part One By: Steve Selengut | - It matters not what lines, numbers, indices, or gurus you worship, you just can't know for certain where the stock market is going or when it will change direction. Too much investor time and analytical effort is wasted trying to predict course corrections--- even more is squandered comparing portfolio market values with a handful of unrelated indices and averages.
Investment Performance Evaluation Re-evaluated: Part Two By: Steve Selengut | - The Working Capital Model (WCM) looks at investment performance differently, less emotionally, and without a whole lot of concern for short-term market value movements.

Stock Market Corrections Are Beautiful - And Necessary By: Steve Selengut | - Every correction is the same, a normal downturn in one or more of the markets where we invest.

Investment Performance Expectations: Wcm Fine Tuning By: Steve Selengut | - Contrary to popular belief and Wall Street propaganda, investing is not a competitive event.

Wcm-investing Rules Of Engagement-the Qdi By: Steve Selengut | - Crash! The 2007 thru 2008 financial crisis halved 401(k), IRA, and Mutual Fund values in a matter of months. For many, retirement dates had to be pushed back; for others, new jobs had to be found. The tragic flaw? No income allocation in the investment program. Market value builds egos; income pays the bills.
Few employers cautioned Savings Plan participants that 401(k)s are just not defined benefit programs. Few mutual fund distributors suggested to benefit departments that their ... Tags:Crash, financial crisis, WCM, working capital, investment, 401(k), IRA, mutual fund, CEF, ETF, QDI, index fund,
Value Stock Investing - The November Syndrome On Drugs By: Steve Selengut | - Every fall, especially in opportunity rich markets like this, I encourage investors to think about some year-end strategies that make the final calendar quarter a special time in all markets.

Value Stock Market Crash Report By: Steve Selengut | - There has never been a correction that has not proven to be an investment opportunity. While everything is down in price, there is actually less to worry about than when prices are historically high. More money has been lost by people who bought into last year's markets than by those who will buy into this one, at this stage of the correction. When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.
Do You Know When To Buy And Sell? Use The Sine Wave Model By: David Van Knapp | - Probably the hardest decision for most stock investors is knowing when to buy or sell a stock. Some investors buy and sell very actively. Others buy stocks on a regular schedule, but don't know when, if ever, to sell.

What makes the most sense? Is there even a single right answer?
Buy Gold Coins As Bullion Gold Coins Gain Favor By: Richard Goldstein | - In today's world of global uncertainty, one thing remains certain: gold coins.

Investing With Confidence By: Geoff Gannon | - Most peoples beliefs about investing are very tenuous. There are, of course, people who are very passionate about investing. They dont view investing as some esoteric subject, but rather as a field intimately connected to the human behavior they observe in their everyday lives.
