Stocks Trading: Finding Solid Companies to Invest In !!

Before You Start Reading Stock Charts Upside Down -- to determine which are accumulating or distributing, and when to buy or sell them – there is the issue of finding solid companies to invest in.

You may have heart about "Fundamental Analysis", which just like technical analysis could be made so overwhelming that you rather give up than start taking investing seriously…Some investment managers and writers about investing would argue that it is essential to learn to read the balance sheets and income statement of companies; to assess the quality of management; to call or meet with management, to correctly estimate the intrinsic value so as to know when a stock is undervalued…Tons of books on fundamental analysis could put you back into study mode for years.

Fortunately, a lot of that has become unnecessary since the publication of "Investors Business Daily". In the newspaper that William O’Neil pioneered you can find a lot of analytical data (notice I wrote "data", not "intelligence") that narrows down the number of companies you should investigate. In fact, the IBD 100 list, published every Monday in IBD, reduces some 10,000 companies listed on the exchanges down to one hundred worth your time.

How do you then pick out of these 100 a watch list of 10 to 12 stocks from which you select two to four to buy when your Chart Reading tells you it is time to buy them? I’ll spell out my approach, which does not entirely follow what Mr. O’Neil wrote in his books or tells in his workshops, but as any guru in the field he has a tendency to make things more complicated than necessary. Why else would so few women attend his workshops?

Let’s start with Earnings Per Share (EPS). IBD provides a ranking of companies based on EPS. If a company does not rank in the top five or ten percentile (meaning a score or 90 or higher), it should not belong in your watch list. The EPS rankings of all stocks can be found daily in IBD.Next, look at relative strength (RS) and group RS ranking. The RS should be bigger than 80 and increasing and the group RS ranking should be at least 85.

Next look at sales growth and earnings growth per quarter. Without sales it is impossible for a company to make earnings; so both sales and earnings growth better be growing more than 25% quarter to quarter. Earnings growth over time and return on equity should at least be 20% or higher. Management should still have a significant stake in ownership (20% or more), and an increasing number of institutional shareholders is also something to look out for.

Finally, my personal preference goes to companies that produce a product or service you understand. As I am not a chemist, biologist, pharmacist, material specialist....I shy away from companies that produce services or products that I do not understand. This does not mean I stay away from all technology. For example, I understand what a GPS system is, how useful it is for navigation and many other applications, so Garmin (GRMN) is a stock that fits in my criteria.
If you apply these simple criteria to the IBD 100 list you will quickly reduce the list down to a watch list of a dozen or so. Out of these the ones the two or three to buy are the ones that are accumuatling and come within 5% or less of their buy point, which you find through your chart reading, When there is a spike in volume and a significant price increase you buy the stock right at its Buy Point.

In spite of all the efforts by Bill O'Neil and company, not many people following this approach. Lots of investors who are just starting out take the IBD 100 list, pick the Top Ten Stocks and invest in several stocks from that shortlist. This is the worst possible use of IBD 100. Remember, IBD provides "data", that only you can transform into intelligence for your best advantage.

"DoublingStocks" Review: What Is It and Who's Behind It?

IF YOU ARE a novice in investing in stocks and don’t know where to start then 'DoublingStocks' is just for you. 'DoublingStocks' is a newsletter that is backed by an intelligent software, which was developed by two computer geeks by the name of Michael and Carl. they had designed a stock analysis software program for Goldman Sachs; a program that nets them $4 Billion profits a year!

The software consists of a stock picking robot program called 'Marl'. This robot program analyzes each and every stock in the market using the technical analysis. The analysis is done on the prices of the stock and the pattern in which the stock prices have risen or gone down and then uses the same analysis to predict the movement of stocks in the future. The bot in the software searches on the net for top stocks worth investing for and shows you the results in a table format. It automatically ranks the stocks according to their returns and gives you an instant idea as in which stocks you can invest your hard earned money.

How 'DoublingStocks' Works?

The 'DoublingStocks' recommendations spell out what stocks to buy and why. They also give you the entry point (what price to pay) and a target price (when to sell). I find that these picks are usually a week or more ahead of anyone else picking them up and recommending them. Which puts those of us who have bought, on very solid footing.

After using 'DoublingStocks' many people have experienced a jump of about 84% in their returns. Now isn’t that really a lot of money? Michael knew that investment derivative companies such as Sachs and other large investments firms manage portfolios worth millions of dollars of firms such as Google and Coca Cola. However their scope of investment in stocks is limited to just a few large firms.

'DoublingStocks' is capable of showing stock trading chart patterns as well which becomes easier to comprehend. For example, when the price of the stock is displayed in the form of a chart you can easily spot the pattern of the stock (instead of merely seeing figures and trying to understand). 'DoublingStocks' uses its own database to scan all the stocks that are listed on the OTC and Pink sheet exchanges.

The software will then narrow down on stocks that look bullish in the near future and display signs of rising prices. All these stocks are added to the watch list of the software so that you can follow these stocks in the near future.

The software has the capability to monitor hundreds of stocks at the same time. After watching the current patterns of the stock, the software automatically develops the capability of the most likely direction that the stocks will follow. 'DoublingStocks' also has the capability of analyzing the average price that a particular stock is positioned at. If it finds any difference in the rise or fall of the stock even marginally (like 50 cents) then it start scrutinizing the stock in detail.

Therefore, you will see how 'DoublingStocks' help people make a perfect decision in investing & trading the stocks and reaping rich rewards from it.

Unlike any other professional stock trader which can analyze one stock around eight to ten seconds, 'DoublingStocks' can analyze up to seven charts per second! Hence the software is extremely selective in choosing only the best stocks to recommend to the investors.

Who Should Not Subscribe This Great Newsletter?

As you know that every coin has two sides and so does 'DoublingStocks'. The software is not for you in case you want to learn more about the share market and want to gain a broader view of it. The software only displays the stocks that perform and provides little information about other stocks. Hence 'DoublingStocks' is not recommendable for people who are still struggling to understand what is stock market.

This has got to be the least expensive newsletter out there. And I am guessing that is why some people think it is a scam of some sort. They can't believe this kind of information can be so cheap without some kind of a catch. But I have found 'DoublingStocks' rivals those costing thousands of dollars a year! And most of the people I know, they get the entire cost of the subscription, plus a substantial profit on their very first trade!

Isn't that Sounds Amazing?

If 'DoublingStocks' has any openings left when you read this, give it a try. If it turns out not right for you, they will give you your money back. So you really have nothing to lose; and that is unique in this business. The expensive newsletters won't give you your money back no matter what.

What Is: Trading Online Stocks?

ONLINE STOCKS TRADING is becoming a very popular way in which to invest in the stock market. Ordinary everyday citizens such as you and me can now trade stocks like the pros without paying the ridiculous broker fees that are often associated with trading on the stock market.

This doesn't mean there are no fees involved or that you won't be discouraged from capriciously trading stocks. What it does mean is that you will be able to trade stocks, as you may have never been able to do before because the costs involved in trading were so high that only the wealthiest among us could really afford to work the market to any real advantage.

You will find quite a few companies that are going to compete for your business when it comes to empowering you to trade stocks online. It is best to go with a business that offers education and advice in addition to the ability to trade. There are many big names in the Brokerage Business that are getting in touch with the technology of today and offering full service brokers and financial advisors in addition to offering new online services that include Internet Trading.

If you decide to go with some of the bigger names in the business you should understand that you will pay a little more than you would pay going with many of the lesser name firms and trading companies. The good news is that the bigger names have more to loose after working for decades to establish themselves and develop a good reputation among traders. This means that they are not going to be "Fly By Night" and are going to work to make sure you have the best possible service from them for your future in the stock market trade.

Many of these firms in addition to offering the ability to buy, sell, and trade online will also offer financial planning for retirement, future expenses, and advice on how to create a fixed income from your investments. They will offer many tips, hints, and advice free of charge on their website while also promoting the services they offer through discounts in hopes of gaining your business for some of the higher ticket transactions that really pay their bills.

Online Investment Services offer consumers the opportunity to invest with lower commissions and fees which means you bring more of the money home when all is said and done and spend far less on fees and expenses associated with investing. By saving these fees you may be doing yourself a huge service but keep in mind that the invaluable advice of a broker can often mean the difference between mild successes and wild successes. If you can manage the fees it is a good plan to at least consult with a broker or Financial Advisor or planner once or twice a year in order to get the most out of your investment money.

Online trading is great but you will find that it lacks the personal service you can expect from a financial advisor or a Stocks Broker. Very little has such a profound impact on your financial future than the ability to receive and follow expert advice. While there is much to read on the Internet by way of advice on investing in the stock market there is also a lot of conflicting information just as there is a great deal of misinformation. This is something that, when possible, is best left to the experts at least until you manage to learn the ropes and have a few successful trades under your belt.

If you have the heart of gambler however, then it is your money you are playing with and your future you are investing. If you are not spending more than you are willing to lose then there is no harm in trying your hand at investing through Online Brokerage Services. You just might roll the dice and find a nice payout for your efforts.
