Know When to Hold em' from BetterTrades Good Morning, Kenny Rodgers had a popular hit with this title that spoke of the gambler's need to manage risk and stay in control. As a trader you too must control your risk and manage your trades but trading is not gambling, it is more like farming or adding a new product to business's product line. Setting stops must be seen as the limits and tactical tolerances of risk that would go into any new venture. BetterTrades and Market Mind Games The adage goes "If Doctors and Attorneys are so smart, why are they still practicing their professions?" Well, it is a fact that to be good you must always keep honing your skills. The persistent practitioner becomes the consistent performer. BetterTrades and "FUNNYDAMENTALS" The end of last month, a broker from New York calls me. He has called several times over the last year to tell me I need to open an account with him because he has such a great buying opportunity. He was armed with a strong list of fundamentals that just had to convince me to give him money to buy this stock. Well I enjoy talking to him because he proves my points about staying neutral and playing the stock not the fundamentals or the news. Big MAC Divergence in BetterTrades Indicators are a powerful tools and they generally have a very specific function. They measure specific aspects of behavior and that behavior is compared to the chart movement. Some indicators are very narrow in focus i.e. only relavent in trends or only in compression patterns while other indicators work well in nearly any market patterns. Some of the more common and respected indicators measure over bought / oversold conditions or trend strength or divergence. I will focus this article on the divergence indicators and how to recognize divergence. Earn To Profit with BetterTrades from Earnings Season We are currently in earnings season - a time when companies announce their earnings results from the past quarter. These much awaited announcements can cause quite a bit of volatility in the markets, especially when the results are something other than expected. But, as a trader you can learn to capitalize from this volatility and profit from some unique trading opportunities. Better Trades Industry Spotlight Part 2 In part I of this article you read how the Internet E-Commerce industry is one of the better performing industries this year. Within that industry we selected three stocks that have good fundamentals and strong trading patterns. Those stocks are eBay (EBAY), the University of Phoenix Online (UOPX) and Getty Images (GYI). Finding the right stocks to trade is half the battle. The other half of the battle is using the right trading system to find the best entries and exits to profit substantially from the price moves of those stocks. Don't Be An Average Trader, Use BetterTrades We are in the midst of earning's season and the market could not be any more crazy. Today, most of the stocks that were reporting posted better than anticipated earnings and the Dow managed to break a 5-day losing streak. This week the housing sector posted good permit applications and sales numbers, two indicators that bode well for a continued strong housing market. Many of the basic economic indicators are weak and the latest rumor on the street is that the Fed MAY cut interest rates another 25 basis points to a 60 year low of 1%. Then, add into the mix an Iraqi dictator whose defiant stance has the whole world wondering when the first bomb will be dropped, by whom and what will be in it? It is all enough to drive the average trader nuts. A Powerful-Profitable-Cash-Cow: BetterTrades Dear Traders and Friends: Lately I have had many students ask me about the QQQQ's - so much that it merits a rewrite. The QQQQ is an incredible choice for making money in today's market. Taking the time to learn this EXCHANGE TRADED FUND (ETF) could put fun, fast cash into your pockets. Don't let the fact that it is called an ETF scare you away. It is very simple to play. I missed making hundreds of thousands of dollars on this Powerful-Profitable-Cash-Cow because I feared it was complicated. Just remember what FEAR really means FALSE EXPECTATIONS APPEARING REAL! Improving Your Better Trades Success Using Trading Cards In reviewing my last five years of stock market success, I must admit that the most important thing that needs to be learned - is how to pull the plug when a trade goes wrong. As a matter of fact, I am going to quote myself here... "If you can not get good at pulling the plug when a trade goes wrong...then you should not be trading!" Staying On Top Of Better Trades It goes without saying that we've been trading a pretty tough market. I believe as well that is really a matter of perspective. Many of those trading today have been trading fewer than 5 years and have no prior experience with this kind of market. Additionally, their relative lack of experience has them running for the "Tums" at almost every negative comment out of New York or Washington! Well, justified or not, it is precisely this kind of market which drives home an important tenet of trading. You have to stay 'on top' of the market at all times if you expect to be a successful trader. I have developed a pretty simple method for doing that. Reducing Your Risk in BetterTrades One of the most important aspects of successful trading is not the strategy itself.That will either work or it won't (all things being equal). We have a 50 / 50 chance either way. While perhaps not mathematically accurate, that pretty well captures the spirit of my point; we exercise precious little control (as in NONE) over how our stocks move. We ALL have losses from time to time. It's a fact of trading life! That being a given, one of the most critical aspects of successful trading is to control any LOSSES we might be facing. Obviously, it is in our best interest to minimize those losses as much as we can. Gaps Importance for Better Trades There is general knowledge of gaps but most people do not know enough about the many types of gaps and their respective importance. The understanding of gaps begins with the gap theory. But while the gap theory deserves a thorough discussion, I want to focus on the types and relative importance of the many different gaps and leave a detailed treatise on the Gap Theory to another time. Nonetheless, a quick lesson on the theory is warranted to set the stage. First off the definition of a gap is when the closing price and the following opening price is different. There are true gaps and body gaps just to name a few but a quick run through of the gap theory will serve to set the stage. Trading for BetterTrades I think it was Will Rogers who said "I am more concerned with the return of my principle than the return on my principle". How true that rings when it come to trading in the stock market! Yet I find myself receiving emails and being told sad story after sad story about traders who have lost a fortune trading! The emails and comments I love to receive, however, are the ones from students in my classes that are making a fortune because they took the time to learn the SYSTEM I teach in my LIFESTYLE TRADING WITH LEAPS 2 day class. How to Confirm Trades to Make Better Trades I have noticed an AMAZING number of students placing trades that have gone wrong and if they could have done what I call "A ROUND ROBIN" it likely could have prevented the cost. I would like to share what I do in my "ROUND ROBIN" before entering a new trade or deciding to exit an existing trade: How to Start Doing Better Trades? At first it may appear this newsletter is for new traders, but it is perfect for seasoned traders that are struggling. After trading and teaching students how to trade for over 8 years, I have learned that we can cycle in and out of trading patterns. What seems to happen is we get excited about learning so many new things in the market (such as numerous technical indicators), that we can begin to over-analyze our trades. It is so easy to do. So easy that we forget how simple and important just plain old basics are. BUY LOW - SELL HIGH! Then we start slipping and miss reasonable entries or stay too long in a trade. Whether you are new, or you just need to get back to the basics, this newsletter is intended to help you get back on track. Trading Practice and Better Trades When you are new at this game called the stock market, you will find it necessary to start off with the basics. Milk not meat! If you only knew what we know, after years of trading and teaching students, you would do whatever we tell you and never break a rule. It is so hard to watch students jump before they are ready, but I see it time after time. I call this the READY - FIRE - AIM syndrome. Believe me, I so understand where you are at - I started the exact same way. Timing is Everything for Better Trades Timing is everything! Especially when it comes to trading in the stock market. It amazes me the thought process a lot of students go through when it comes to trading. Selecting BetterTrades Options In the last five newsletters in this series we looked at a series of issues to select the right stock option. This newsletter will cover the final step, Graceful exits, along with a recap of the items previously discussed so you will have an easy reference tool at your disposal. What Works for Bettertrades Before you can play a stock split you must have a stock split candidates list. This is where you have to do a little research. Start with the stocks that you currently are watching and ask the following questions: Drop Shipping Defined Drop shipping is the shipping of merchandise from a supplier directly to a retailer's customer. This means that the retailer can ship to their customers directly from the suppliers' warehouses. This process minimizes risk because the retailer does not need to buy the product until it has sold. Suppliers take care of the warehousing, packaging, and shipping of products, saving you a great deal of money. Doba Dropship System Doba connects you to 170 wholesale distributors, manufacturers, and craftsmen in one place. When you sign up, you gain full access to all the drop ship wholesalers and their wholesale product catalogs. Drop Ship Value Time and time again it's said from web store retailers, eBay sellers, online auction gurus, and a host of others: "You can't make any real money with drop shipping. The prices and fees that drop-ship suppliers charge eliminate your profit margins." Link Building Strategies In this article I will review the 3 most important strategies you have to build links to your site at no cost. But there are more ways to get quality one-way links. It is very important to keep in mind the relevancy of these links. A link is considered relevant, when it is coming from a site that contains similar content or services as your site. Could the site linking to your site be in the same category? Keep this in mind for the quality factor of your links. The ones included in this article, are well known to work given their relevancy. Google Golden Triangle and Lsi In this article I will explain the importance of this study, and how it does affect natural search engine optimization, in combination with paid search. The Semantic Indexing Project (SEO) Semantic indexing is our name for a family of techniques for searching and organizing large data collections. The goal of semantic indexing is to find patterns in unstructured data (documents without descriptors such as keywords or special tags) and use those patterns to offer more effective search and categorization services. Drop Shipping Basics How does drop shipping work? Drop shipping is the shipping of merchandise from a supplier directly to a retailer's customer. Meaning, you the retailer can ship to your customers directly from the suppliers' warehouses. This process minimizes the risk to you because you do not need to buy the product until it has sold. Suppliers take care of the warehousing, packaging, and shipping of products, saving you a great deal of money.
