I think the allure of today’s stock market as far as people who buy penny stocks is that they are looking for an opportunity to make money in stocks fast and without a lot of money. While I guess anything is possible, the actual facts as laid out by Investors Business Daily show that the [...]

Today, now that we’ve weeded down the market some by eliminated the stocks under a certain price, I wanted to move onto rule #2 which is buy growth stocks. A growth stock is a stock that has earnings potential which is greater than the average stock. Our goal is to find these companies. The question [...]

OK everybody. Today, I am going to start setting up my system according to William O’Neil’s CANSLIM strategy and rule #1 is don’t buy cheap stocks. Many people look for cheap stocks to buy because they are smaller investors with smaller investment funds. Don’t let this be you. With every stock purchase you make, you [...]

For people that lack enough investment funds to buy good quality stocks, they often look to buy cheap stock. If my mom bought individual stocks, she’d be that type of investor, I think. She’s always going to sales looking for a bargain. Once I went to a sale with her and brought home a copy [...]

The best stock trading education you can get is from experience actually trading. That’s why yesterday, I went ahead and picked a stock to buy because we can only learn by doing.

Today the markets were up and the Nasdaq in particular. The Investor’s Business Daily changed its market direction to a confirmed uptrend clearing the way for a stock purchase.

Even with the uncertainty of the market, I still think the best investment you can make is in common stocks. The indexes were a no brainer today as all were up today on higher volume. This was a good sign but the markets are still under some selling pressures. It’s not enough though to pick [...]

Before I start buying shares, I’ve got to continue my look at how the stock market has been performing lately. If you remember from my previous posts, if the market is in a downtrend there is a 3 out 4 chance that your stock will go down. Today in looking at the three major indexes, [...]

OK. If you remember from my last post I talked at length about knowing the overall market’s direction before you invest in any stock. The reason was because if the market direction is trending down, then your stock, no matter how good it might be has to fight the overall market trend to go up. [...]
