Beat the Stock Market yet again.

FTSE100 UP 9.56%

SP500 UP 11.91%

Trendwinner UP 28.57%

Of course smaller investors who are nimble should be beating the stock markets on a regular basis. Always take an early loss as well to preserve capital.

2011 New Years Predictions - Duck and Cover

2011-01-04T15:29:00.000-08:00

Stock market did well in 2010 reaching 9 to 11% given the state of the economy, my guess is the figgin is in the riggin of the markets. With Silver, Gold, Cocoa and Copper all either rigged or cornered the big boys have been flexing their muscles, which arent as big these daze.

Anyway the stock market looks like it could retrace due to a new wave of mortgage defaults as rates reset and unemployment continues to rise. Also the bad debt of the zombie banks has not been cleared and the corrupt are still at large and in control of both governments and banking.

In the UK and Europe 2011 will be marred by riots, strikes and food shortages. Sovereign debt default and the break up of european union cannot be ruled out. Some USA states could go bankrupt as well. So expect another financial crisis even worse than 2008. With some insiders stocking up on food and supplies for 6 months, you should do likewise.

Want to fast track your trading and Investing to success. YES. Good because I want you to be successful and you can. I knew my research was good when my sister took one piece and made enough money in NEXT shares to go on holiday and have a shopping spree and I didn't even invest a penny in next shares, so I missed the boat. What a dummy ;-) Anyway I have since made up for that mistake. You can also benefit from my research and trading experience because I am giving some of it away so you can test drive it for yourself.

Build a Powerful List for your Business

Business key is focus on what customers want

2010-04-13T09:34:00.000-07:00

With so many different tasks to concentrate on as I'm sure you agree it can be difficult to focus on keeping business simple. Business is about your relationship to your customers and giving them what they want and when they want it. Some customers just want the product and will wait for it. Other customers need your product asap and delivery on time is key. In manufacturing for instance delivery is often key. In sales training results are what counts. In retail having the item in stock at that moment the customer enters your shop is key to success. So keep it simple and find out what is top priority for your customers and make sure you deliver on it.

Doomsday and your business

2010-04-02T10:29:00.000-07:00

Even the best businesses go through hard times. So ask yourself is it really the economy
or have I just gotten lazy on the marketing and selling front. The reason is that plenty
of businesses are started and flourish in a recession. It's one of the best times to go into business because your competitors are going bust and folks are struggling to see the opportunities around them.

So start looking for those opportunities and remember that your money is just in others pocket's and all you need to do is find them and exchange their money for your product or service.

Whoops Review

2010-03-11T12:08:00.001-08:00

It's a cliche to say that every body should read a book, but one of the messages from this brilliant book is that most of us blithely went about our business, perhaps enjoying the boom times, wholly unaware of what was happening in financial markets. Yet what was happening was crazy, fascinating, and driven by geniuses scarily out of touch with reality. It is, as John Lanchester argues, one of the greatest stories ever told--and postmodern to boot. Review. R.Smith.

SEED was another before the bell explosive price gaining stock. Doubling your money in only 2 days. Life is too short for buy and hold or buy and pray. Smart investors like yourself want their stocks to show instant profits from day one. You have 2 options learn the skills yourself or subscribe to my daily BEFORE THE BELL newsletter.

2009-11-25T13:54:00.000-08:00

My before the bell pick JCG was up +7.5% in 1 day. What gets me is investors are buying stocks on a hope and a pray ... WHY?

YOU should be buying stocks that will beat the yearly averages within 1 DAY!

Most fund and pension managers struggle to make 7.5% per year.

When you know what to look for, you can make 7.5% profit per week easy.

Watch out for phoney experts calling time

2009-11-20T08:55:00.000-08:00

I've noticed recently some so called experts saying thing like ... why are people bullish on google when it's downtrending.

So I look at the chart of google, it is not downtrending, it's a pullback.

Why can't experts read a chart. Telling people to sell during a bull market ain't smart. When the bull and upward trends end then it's smart to get out.

Everyone knows these so called experts are not independant thinkers and have clients who make the real money at your expense. Learn to read the charts yourself or get an independant opinion much like a second opinion from a doctor.

The markets are in a pullback which may turn bearish or may continue the bullish upwards move, no one knows. We do know that the trend is upwards and it would take at least 2 weeks for the trend to change at least.

It is STILL a BULL MARKET

2009-11-19T13:03:00.000-08:00

Why do respected market commentators come out with such rubbish as this:

"I haven't been this bearish in a year. I look at the board and every single stock is up. But there is no fundamental rooting as to why." Meredith Whitney on CNBC

The Trend is UP and bullish with a pullback day today. The PREVIOUS LOW is around 1030 which is miles away from where we are at 1094.40. Does Meredith want investors to short (sell) the market so here clients can make money?

It is totally financial suicide to have AN OPINION ON ANY MARKET ... PRICE TELLS ALL!

SPX Price says we are BUYING BULLS and their is no stopping us ... YET!

If and when price falls below 1030 and doesn't reach it's previous high of around 1107 then we can reassess the situation, until them THE BULLS HAVE IT!

NOTE: WE DO NOT CARE WHY PRICE IS BULLISH, WE ONLY FOLLOW PRICE!

SPX rising, Dollar sinking, Gold Golden

2009-11-17T06:00:00.000-08:00

SPX upwards trend corresponds with the Dollar's downward trends. How far does the dollar have to go? Well looking at the dollar index it's previous low around 72, it's currently at 74.5. So it still has some way to go. The Gold upward trend is still in tacted with many commentators like Marc Faber of the Doom, Gloom and Boom report says that we haven't reached the top of the market yet.

When looking at trending charts, a simple way to analyse them is to follow the previous lows and highs. As long as we have higher lows and higher highs the trend is still upwards. When the previous low is broken by the current price, that is a wake up call. The trend MAY be changing so watch carefully.

Why are the markets so bullish? Bears are dead?

2009-11-16T16:21:00.000-08:00

I get asked his question more and more since last year. After some thought and listening to my peers, I've boiled it down to just 2 reasons.

1. The Bear players are no longer a factor in the market. With the dimise of Bear Sterns, Lehman Bros there are no other financial institutions who really specialize and aggressively sell the market like they did. This leaves the bias on the side of the BULLS. This explains why pullbacks and retracements are not big moves and sometimes don't exist at all.

2. Supercomputers are now doing the bulk of the trading on wall street, these algorithms are like a self fulfilling prophecy, the more they buy the more they buy.

So there you have it, this is very important knowledge for both investors and traders alike, it means that bullish trends should last much longer in all timeframes than has been the case in the past.

Trade2win Scam

2009-11-16T16:13:00.000-08:00

Trade2win have a new policy banning traders within 24 hrs. They have a website set up for traders to express their opinions, write their own trading journal. But it's all a scam because when you do and they notice that your a really great traders who makes sense, the moderators start to attack you. Now I have been a member of many forums and the moderators are usually invisible and let folks get on with it.

Trade2win should be ashamed of themselves, their moderators are a set of thugs. They not only attack what your saying but also start researching you for any excuse to ban you.

The ban didn't work, I'm back in under another name.

David Dalby's Trading and Research Journal

2009-11-14T14:59:00.000-08:00

So I told my sister, chart looks good buy NEXT...and forgot all about it...several years later a letter arrives from beloved sister saying she just sold those shares. They are off on holiday, buying a new flat screen tv and saving the rest for a rainy day....

she didn't....she bought the shares...

Good girl, of my previous 4 share holdings I had lost money on 1 and had 3 winners.

Not bad, but I am a management accountant, I read accounts for breakfast. Surely I could make money at this share game.

The answer to that was YES and NO

With the death of arthur anderson, changes to accounting rules and out right fiddling and cooking of the books across the board, I soon came to believe that the FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH was DEAD

The death of a trading style that was once god like is not only hard to take it's difficult to change habits. You keep wanting to look at the accounts just to be sure, even if they are over cooked in the wrong direction with the chairman saying we have no problems and the sun is shining, the grass is green and we are on track....RUBBISH

What are the most Profitable Trading Indicators?

2009-11-14T13:44:00.000-08:00

I get asked this ALL THE TIME...which is the best trading INDICATOR...the best answer from experience is NONE OF THEM...they LAG the market.

Trading Indicators give too many FALSE SIGNALS, my 1st book PHD Method addressed this problem, it shows how you can cut false signals to minimum.

Even though this leads to fewer trades it's a perfect method for beginners who want to build their confidence with a string of winning trades and a few small losses.

PHD Method was based on groundbreaking research and the EXIT strategy is so unique I've never seen anything that compares, my fans rave ;-)

Do you Deserve to make money?

2009-11-13T10:15:00.000-08:00

Most Traders and Investors are brought up with the idea that money is ONLY gained through HARD WORK and time spent grafting away. Get educated, get a good job, work hard and save your money.

Your Father and Mother could have worked LONG hours and toiled hard work for you.

That is the IMAGE you have in your mind...WORK IS HARD.

You may then feel UNDESERVING in your mind if you do not work hard for your money.

When this happens you will give back ANY and ALL gains you have made.

THINK ABOUT IT! How many times have you heard about lottery winners whose millions were squandered over the next 3 to 5 years until they were PENNILESS. It's no joke it happens ALL THE TIME.

Trading and Investing isn't like this.

YOU CAN MAKE THOUSANDS WITHIN MINUTES WITH NO WORK AT ALL.

This is a totally new idea to many people.

Using the stock market, Forex and Gold markets you can AMASS a fortune with very little effort.

The TRUTH is YOUR SELF IMAGE controls how you will handle money.

The self image is stronger than you are, when you start making hundreds of thousands you mind may tell you this isn't right, you aren't supposed to make money this fast and you give it all back in the next few weeks or months just like those lottery winners do.

If you find that this is happening to you, DON'T WORRY. It can be fixed ;-)

In my book PHD METHOD BONUSES, it explains in more detail the problem and the remarkable solution that has helped thousands change their self image to one deserving of millionaire status.

Retire Rich, Retire Poor

2009-10-14T13:15:00.001-07:00

2009-09-18T15:25:00.000-07:00

Here we have two people, Tom and Bob, both aged 20. Tom is the cautious sort, always putting a bit of cash aside for a rainy day, while Bob tends to be less careful with his money, preferring to spend it all on having fun rather than putting it into savings. Regardless of which of these attitudes is philosophically sensible, we can see from the table whose attitude is likely to pay off financially in the long term.

Tom starts paying £1,000 into a savings account each year from the age of 20 (maybe using an ISA or a pension plan or something similar). We’ve assumed an interest rate of 5% for this example, so each £1,000 that Tom pays in will generate £50 of interest per year, which he then reinvests back into the account, i.e. he’s compounding the interest. Tom does this for 10 years, then stops paying money in, perhaps deciding that after being rather boring in his 20s, he really ought to get out there and live a little before he gets too old.

Bob, meanwhile, has blown most of his earnings on expensive wine, fast cars, unwise property deals and the sort of women your mother warned you about. Reaching the end of his 20s and feeling rather haggard, Bob decides that he too should start saving for his dotage. From the age of 30 he starts to put away £1,000 per year, also making 5% per year. He is also compounding the interest.

But a strange thing happens. Even though Tom stopped paying in money once he reached 30, Tom’s pot continues to grow thanks to the power of compound interest. After ten years of paying money in, when they’re both 40, the value of Bob’s pot is still only about 60% of Tom’s. In fact it takes Bob a total of 20 years of contributions to finally build his pot up to the same size as Tom’s, and he’s paid in a total of £20,000 to do so rather than Tom’s total outlay of £10,000.

This is the true power of compounding: the earlier you start saving, the faster your savings will grow. Once you understand this, you’ll be in a much better position to make the most of your money.

So start as early as you can, preferable when 18 or younger.

Watch out for smooth price action

2009-09-16T14:57:00.000-07:00

Notice the smooth price action in this chart esp the higher lows each day on the upwards trending weeks. Always look for higher lows in a bull market and lower highers in a bear market. Take care.

iPass declares $20 mln extraordinary dividend

AP
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. (AP) -- iPass Inc., an Internet access provider for mobile workers, on Tuesday declared an extraordinary cash dividend of $20 million, or 32 cents per share.

The dividend is payable on Sept. 17 to shareholders of record as of Aug. 31.

Shares of iPass were up 9 cents, or 5.4 percent, to $1.74 in after-hours trading on Tuesday. The stock was down 2 cents to $1.65 during the regular session.

That means if you BUY IPASS shares before 31 August you get the DIVIDEND, then

SELL them after Sept 17 once you bank the dividend. It's a NO BRAINER ;-)

Warren Buffett does this all the time...he's a smart cookie.

How to spot institutional buying

2009-08-18T17:05:00.000-07:00

Large institutions buy and sell in large quantities or blocks of 20,000, 50,000 or 75,000 shares at a time. They have to buy and sell without changing the price on themselves, so they do it quietly and sometimes use diversionary tactics to hide their trading, it's war out there.

The main way to spot these elephants is by their foot prints, look at the volume of sales, if the volume is up by over 50% on the usual volume then you know it isn't your aunt or uncle who is buying their 100 or 1000 shares it's someone bigger.
