- Why Most Technical Analysis Tools Fail
By: Stephen Swanson | - Years ago, when I spent a lot of time traveling and instructing people how to trade, I took a great deal of time explaining the benefits of using a moving average, and other tehcnical indicators such as a MACD, stochasitc, and others.
In recent years, I find it hard to promote most of those technical indicators as valid trading tools. That's because I have since spent countless hours back testing the most widely used indicators, seeking to find some validation to price predictio ...

- Avoid This Mistake In Your Retirement Account Investing
By: Stephen Swanson | - After the last 18 months in the stock market, many investors are shell-shocked. They thought they were on track, setting aside money, investing regularly in preparation for retirement.
Then after the market top in October 2007 the economy contracted, the credit crunch hit, and the market collapsed. As the bull market of the last four years ended, most investors were unprepared for what happened in the last year and a half.
Worse, most of them took no action to pro ...

- Exchange Traded Funds
By: Julia Lee | - Sick of picking stocks? Here's a way that's gaining in popularity.
It's a difficult time to be stock picking at the moment so many retail and professional investors are turning to buying into exchange traded funds, or ETFs.
I have family and friends who want to invest in the sharemarket but don't have the expertise to stock pick or don't have the time or inclination. So if you want exposure to the Australian sharemarket or even the US market without spending the time ...

- 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.
The IGVSI Bargain Stock Monitor tracks the price movements of an elite group of New York Stock Exchange equities. Their "eliteness" is earned by a B+ or higher S & P rating, a history of profitability, and the fact that they pay d ...

- Prime Moment For Discovering Bargains Inside The Stock Market
By: Caterina Christakos | - No one is pleased with the performance of the stock market at the present time. You might even say that the market is just economically challenged. But, on the other hand, this could be an exceptional time to find some bargains in the stock market among those that are faltering. Today, for example, I noticed that Wal-Mart was one of the only stocks in an upward trend, basically since more people are trying to save money by shopping where prices are low.
During a better financia ...

- Introduction To Exchange Traded Funds (etfs)
By: Ranju Kumar | - An Exchange Traded Fund (or ETF for short) trades on stock exchanges just the like any other stock. ETFs are usually linked to a stock, bond or commodity index. The underlying basis for an ETF is that it is backed by assets in the same proportion as the index to which it is linked. This process is known as replicating the index.
Some stock-index ETFs undertake "representative sampling", in which case the ETF comprises of the key stocks which represent the index. The ETF price ther ...

- Short Selling In A Nutshell
By: Ranju Kumar | - Most investors think that when the stock market is going down, you cannot make any profits. Well, they are wrong because there are traders out there who are able to easily earn profits when stocks are tanking. You can also do this by using a technique called short selling (or shorting).
Short selling is not really complicated. However, many people have trouble grasping this concept. Generally, people invest by purchasing an asset with the expectation that it will appreciate in pri ...

- Stock Market Day Trading System
By: Peter Skotnicky | - A day trader is a stock trader who holds a position with a stock for only a very limited time - sometimes merely several minutes - before he makes a trade with that stock. People who practice this are called day traders because most of their positions are opened, and closed, in the same trading day. "Buy and hold" strategies are not for them.
Day trading is controversial to say the least, and the fact is that over 90% of day traders lose money instead of making it. The typical day ...

- What Does "timing The Market" Or "market Timing" Really Mean?
By: Dr. Winton M. Felt | - "Timing the market" is considered by many to be a foolish exercise. Timing the market is indeed foolish if it is done the way many seem to think it is done. However, it is really a matter of having a good sell strategy or stop loss system coupled with a good buy strategy. Expert timers do not buy because they feel a stock is a "good" one to own, or sell because they feel it is "high." They buy because there has been a buy signal, and they sell because there has been a sell signal.

- Timing The Market For Profitable Stock Investment
By: Dr. Winton M. Felt | - It is a fact that we can use the market's trend as an ally in the buying and selling of our stock positions. This is possible because the market signals when it is starting a new bullish trend or a new bearish trend. You can know whether or not the market will support you if you bet on a stock rising, or on a stock declining. Investors can learn to time the market profitably.
A few years ago, there were many news articles about "Market Timing" and the notion that it is illegal. ...

- Is The Commodities Bull Gaining A Second Wind?
By: Tom Fazio | - After the carnage that has gripped the markets over the last 6 months, it's difficult at present to approach potential investments with confidence. Naturally, because very few people vocally predicted our current financial and economic crisis ahead of time, taking any investment authority as such these days is not exactly a conservative or rational call.
Most of the conventional wisdom of long term mutual fund investing and diversification has finally come into question, and a ...

- Avoid These Companies When Buying Stock In 2009
By: Nick Messe | - Most of the business news since even before the major events of September and October 2008 has been very unsettling. Several major high profile companies have already bit the dust due to declining consumer demand, sagging sales, and a credit market that has made it almost impossible for poorly performing companies to refinance debts or extend their credit arrangements. Businesses continue to lay off workers, hold onto cash for as long as possible, and do whatever they can to stay in business.

- Making Money In The Stock Market
By: Caterina Christakos | - How to know if there is a safe stock to buy in this economy. It takes an optimist to use the word "safe" in this tanking stock market. Those who have been making money over the last several years, say, since the early nineties, are now finding that the stocks that were growing and showing great profits are the same ones that are now dropping fast. It seems that the more the financial analysts speak about the declining stock market, the worse it gets. And, of course, most everyone knew that w ...

- How Are You Doing In The Stock Market?
By: Mark Espy | - How are you doing in the stock market? If you are consistently successful, most probably you are in the minority. Those that are doing well have learned to follow the trend yet hedge against the inevitable adverse moves that can occur.
Some have been big winners with purely directional plays without regard to hedging. That is a dangerous game and should be left to those who have the stomach to play that way.
I just had a conversation with a trader that I mentor ...

- Why You Should Keep Full Records Of All Your Share Dealings
By: James Woolley | - If you are an active stock market investor then you should already be keeping full records of all your transactions anyway for tax purposes. However these records also serve another important purpose because they enable you to fully scrutinize every single trade you make.
Why is it this important?
Well there are several reasons why. The first and most obvious one is that you can instantly tell which investments were successful and which ones were not so profitable. ...

- Why You Should Only Be Investing In Quality Shares
By: James Woolley | - With stock markets tumbling all around the world, 2008 has been a truly awful year for stock market investors. However a lot of people, myself included, think that this is now a good time to slowly start snapping up some bargains, with the focus being on quality shares.
I would define quality shares as being shares in large, well-established companies that consistently grow their profits and their dividend payouts every single year. Furthermore in this credit crunch that we are al ...

By: Anthony Green | - we use measures of momentum and overbought/oversold readings to aid in our interpretation of a stock. The measures are computed by our database and can be accessed by clients. We have three different momentum calculations: daily, weekly, and monthly momentums.
Daily momentum is a very short-term trading tool. Following weekly momentum is very helpful when timing trades as well, but it gives a slightly longer horizon. It is an intermediate tool, since changes to positive or negativ ...

- Investing During Bull Markets
By: Anthony Green | - A key to successful investing during a bull market is to take advantage of the rising prices. For most, this means buying securities early, watching them rise in value and then selling them when they reach a high. However, as simple as it sounds, this practice involves timing the market. Since no one knows exactly when the market will begin its climb or reach its peak, virtually no one can time the market perfectly. Investors often attempt to buy securities as they demonstrate a strong and stead ...

- Timing The Market Is Hazardous
By: Jim Pretin | - Ideally, investors try to buy a stock when the price has reached a support level (a level at which the price is as low as it will go) and sell the stock when it hits a resistance level (a level at which the price is as high as it will go). This is easier said than done. Most investors end up missing out on a continual rise by waiting for a stock to plummet first, or sell way to early by underestimating how high the price will go.

- Why Options Are Less Risky Than Stock.
By: David Chandler | - We prefer to trade in options rather than stock.
But you have probably been told or read that options are risky. Even worse, that you can lose your shirt trading them!

Firstly we need to have a look at owning stock; what are the up sides and down sides to owning stock?
Stock can go up in value
The stock price goes down.
Its value can go sideways.

- 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. Some investors believe the answer is to "never" sell, buying and holding essentially forever. There is a whole spectrum of philosophies and approaches.
What makes the most sense? Is there even a single right answer?

By: David Van Knapp | - You may have heard about the presidential cycle in stocks.
Or maybe you haven't. If not, here it is in a nutshell: Stocks do their best in the third year of the four-year presidential term--that is, in the year preceding the next presidential election year.
Since 2007 is the third year of the current presidential cycle--the next election will be in 2008--let's see whether there's any truth to the presidential cycle, or if it is just an urban myth.

By: Lee Dobbins | - One may not immediately be aware of it, but stock investing is a means to stable personal financial status. It is not unnatural for people at this day and age to look for opportunities to augment their income. Someone who works for a living, is more often than not unsatisfied with what he is earning from his day job. The nine-to-five work arrangement may sure provide for his daily expenses, but rarely does he manage to save a good amount of it. Most of the income from employment is spent on ...

So why is it that they do not outperform the S&P 500?

Its important that you understand the impact that a bear market has on your capital. The give and take of your investment capital is not equal. If you placed $100 into an investment and it declined 50% to $50, what is the rate of return you would need to earn back your original investment of $100?
Once you lose money, it takes a much greater return on the funds you have left to recapture your original investment. In this case, you w ...

By: John M. McClure | - Copyright 2006 Equitrend, Inc.
Much has been written about the virtues and dangers of active stock market trading, or market timing.
Most of the pundits and so called "experts" will tell you that stock market timing doesn't work, that it's dangerous, and that "buy and hold" is the best and only way to invest.
But this conventional wisdom is patently untrue. Here are the facts based on my research and extensive real time experience.
