Basic Investment Principles In The Stock Market – Part 2

This is part 2 of the four part series on the discussion of principles of investment in the stock market. In the first part, the first principle involved realizing that the stock market is just another investment vehicles and that before you start investing in the stock market, you must realize that there are other vehicles of investments. We continue by discussing the next two principles. If you wish to view the entire article, please visit my blog.

2.) Investing in the stock market is a roller coaster ride – The advantage in the stock market is that when it goes up, big profits are often made. But when it drops fast, big losses are made also.

So when the market goes up we take advantage of the situation by selling and when the market goes down we take advantage of the situation by buying. When I first invested in the stock market almost 2 years ago, the Philippine Stock exchange index was only about 2000 + points. I\’ve seen it go up to 2500 points and drop back to the 2000 level in the middle of 2006. It then slowly and steadily climbed up to the 3200 level in the 1st quarter of 2007 and then drop in a very short period of time during the final days of the 1st quarter of 2007. It then climbed steadily to a high of 3700+ points in July 2007 but dropped below 3000 points a month after. It then climbed steadily to its highest at 3800+ points by October and dropped to its present 3600 points.

The point here is that it is really a roller coaster ride. Profits and losses are made during those up and down moments of the market.

3.) Know what type of investor you want to become – There are two types of stock market investors, long term investors and short term investors. This is a very vital question that each serious new investor should ask himself. This will ultimately affect whether you should buy or sell a certain stock.

Take note that If you are a long term investor, this means means that you hold your stocks from 5 to 10 years or more. This actually means that you believe in the company that you are investing in. Since you are putting in your money for a long period of time, you must be certain that such money you put in is considered already as extra.

Long term investors also do not have to worry about the gruesome day to day technical analysis that has to be monitored. For as long as they believe in the fundamentals of the company there is no problem if the stock is held for a long period of time. But if you are a short term investor, that means you decide to cash in within a months time to 6 months time, then you should consider several things. You have to monitor the day to day activities of the market.

Like the long term investor, you have to make sure that you can afford to put in your money for a long period of time but not as long as the long term investor. The reason for such is because during the short period wherein you plan to invest and pull out your stocks, you may incur losses during that time so you may decide to wait a little longer.

Most of the stocks I hold are considered as medium and long term investments. This is because when I started out I determined to be more of a long term investor. There are stocks that I hold that I consider as short term investments. However majority of the stocks that I hold are considered as medium to long term investments.

Stock Market – Basic Principles – Part 4

In this article we will be discussing the last three principles of investment in the stock market. In the past articles we have already discussed the first seven principles. If you want to see the entire article, visit my blog.

8.) You must devote your time to study – When you want to invest in the stock market you should devote time to study what it’s all about. You can’t just place in your money and hope that it will somehow grow someday. You have to read books and materials on the stock market. When I started investing I dug out materials in the internet related to the stock market especially the Philippine stock market. I bought books on the stock market. The Philippine stock exchange has an “investor’s primer” for those who are new to the stock market. (See the Philippine stock exchange website for more information.)

You can also attend seminars on how to trade in the stock market. Several brokerage firms have conducted free seminars for those who are new to the stock market. I attended a 2 day seminar by CITISEC Online last year. CITISEC online is one of the most innovative, well managed and most active brokerage firms in the country. The information that you could learn is astounding. Studying the stock market requires continual study. You should not stop learning.

Do the best you can to read all the materials out there and attend all the seminars if possible. Do not give up just because you encounter terms that you could not understand. For example when you went over this article you would probably scratch your head since there are terms that are difficult to understand. Terms such as “points”, Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi), “Blue Chips” or “Bull run” may sound foreign to you. Add to the fact that you don’t even understand what a stock is and how it works. So what ? When I first began I did not even know what these things are.

Stuff like these are never taught in school. I only learned them by reading and having a hands on experience in trading. I highly suggest that you watch the movie “Pursuit of Happyness” This is a story about one man’s struggle to learn the stock market. Years later he made millions through stock trading. This movie is based on a true story and is sure to inspire you!

9.)Know what is happening in the world around you – There are several factors that affect the stock market. Be aware of the news that is making headlines in the news paper. For sure this will give you a hint on the direction that the market will take. Never skip the business news. It is here where you will be given an idea as to which stock you should buy. I prefer reading the online version of the Philippine Daily Inquirer in order that I may know where the market is heading.

10.) You must start now – The best way to learn is to experience it yourself. Start small if you wish but start now. Don’t procrastinate. However don’t rush immediately without studying how to go about it. After you have at least learned the basics of investments then you can start buying your first stock. There’s nothing more exciting when you have made your first sale at a profit.

Principles Of Investments In The Stock Market – Part 1

A lot of people have asked me on whether they should invest in the Philippine stock market. Most of those who asked also wanted to know how to start doing it. I do not know if they are really serious about investing or if they are merely curious about it since it has been given emphasis lately considering its very positive performance.

The Philippine stock market or the stock market in general is not a child’s play ground. If you are a true investor, you must have expectations as to how much you are going to earn for a certain type of investment. This is measured in terms of how much your money will grow at a certain period of time. (The most common measure being interest per annum) Since the Philippine Stock market is at its peak for months now, people think that they should join the party even they do not understand how it works. They are even naive with the basic principles involve. This is not to say that you should be an economist before you start investing.

What you should understand is that you must know the basic principles involved first before you can achieve a level of success in investing in the stock market. Fortunes are made on the Stock market. But take note that huge losses are also incurred. Those who just plunge into the stock market without a grasp of the basic principles of investment end up convincing themselves that the stock market is no good at all, does not make them any money and finally quit after some time.

Before I would even begin to tackle the ins and outs of the how to invest in the Philippine stock market you should first understand the basic principles of investment in order that you might enjoy trading and possibly succeed in the stock market. I will be discussing ten of them. We will discuss the first one here. The other points will be tackled on coming articles. If you wish to see the entire article please visit my blog.

1.) You must realize that the stock market is just another vehicle of investment – There are several investment vehicles where you could place your money. One is not more superior than the other. They have their advantages and disadvantages, but this will not be discussed in depth here.

You must understand that the stock market belongs to an investment category called “Capital Markets.” Capital Markets are divided further into several categories. Here alone, there are several investment vehicles wherein you could place your money. Examples of these investment vehicles aside from the stock market are real estate, pension funds, bonds, insurance, different types of savings and time deposit accounts. It is of vital importance that you know this fact because knowing the different types of investment vehicles under the Capital markets will help you evaluate whether or not you should invest in the Stock Market considering that there are other vehicles of investment.

I reiterate that each vehicle of investment has its own advantages and disadvantages. I did not to place all of my eggs in one basket. Most of my investments are in the Capital Markets though. This includes bonds through mutual funds, the stock market, insurance, pension and deposits.

Why You Should Invest In The Stock Market – Part 2

Last time we discussed about the advantages or the reasons why you should invest in the stock market. We talked about the first three which are, potential for greater returns, part ownership of the company you are investing and belonging to a special group of people. This is the concluding part of this 2 part series. If you wish to view the entire article, check out my blog.

4.) It still one of the best vehicles of investment – Even if the stock market has its up and down moments, investing long term in the stock market will still give you one of the highest returns making it one of the best vehicle of investments ever. Returns in the stock market fluctuate yearly. For example, in 1986 the Philippine stock market recorded the highest return rate at 224 %. On the other hand the lowest rate of return was in 1997 at negative 41 %. However the average return (within 20 years) is still somewhere from 24 % to 28 % per year. This means that the long term investor always wins in the long run.

5.) Increases your financial knowledge and forces you to learn. – If you dozed off in your high school or college days economics class before, you might loose all your hair right now just to force yourself to try to understand what inflation means. You start to begin reading the business news regularly and try to give importance to major news headlines as this will have an impact on the behaviour of the market. You will be forced to understand words that you never understood before. You will become more smarter and wiser more than ever as are forced to keep on increasing your financial and investments knowledge.

6.) Helps you understand the importance of being online and getting instant “knowledge” in this age of information technology. – Man has gone a long way from the stone age, the iron age, bronze age up to the industrial age. Now we have moved one more step ahead as we are right now in the “information technology age” where knowledge is power. Trading in the stock market by means of utilizing information technology certainly gives meaning to the adage that “knowledge is power.” Years ago when I was still in college I wanted to know what it is like to invest in the stock market as I was intrigued by what I see in the movies when traders shout buy or sell. Unfortunately, I did not invest back then because of the lack of information, capability and most of all the lack of capital to do so.

In today’s internet driven economy, information can be accessed easily through the world wide web.Trading is made much more easier with online trading facilities. As this opportunities are presented to me, I made it a point to start investing in the stock market. Now I do all of my trading activities online such as monitoring the news, buying and selling of stocks and transferring money to my accounts. Perhaps I will someday move into global stock market trading. Despite its complications, the principles in stock market trading is still somewhat the same.

7.) Investing in the Stock Market helps build the nation -This is the most noble objective and advantage as to why you should invest in the stock market. One of the main reasons why companies want to get listed in the stock exchange is that they want to infuse more capital into their business. The reason why they want more capital is they want to expand the business. More capital means more business, more business means more jobs, more jobs means more needs of the average Filipinos are being met. More business also means more taxes for the government. In a sense when you invest money in the stock market you are actually helping create jobs and at the same time more taxes for the government. This increase in economic activity helps build the nation.

These reasons certainly make a compelling argument as to why you should invest in the stock market.

Why Is “The Power Spike Mechanical Stock Trading System” So Popular Among Stock Traders?

The stock market is a great place to earn profits; it is the best at-home moneymaking opportunity ever. In fact, more than FIFTY BILLION dollars change hands every day on the New York Stock Exchange. Did you know that?

It’s really true. And there’s incredible opportunities to earn exceptional profits out of this huge river of money.

Savvy stock traders use superior trade systems to identify high profit potential situations and earn money. And the Power Spike Mechanical Stock Trading System has taken the country by storm; it has become a national phenomenon and a favorite for thousands of traders.

Why is the Power Spike Mechanical Stock Trading System such a huge hit?

** ADVANTAGES OF A STRONG TECHNICAL PATTERN TRADE SYSTEM

Strong technical patterns are the foundation for consistent, reliable and profitable mechanical stock trading systems. These patterns can be located and identified on a stock chart. They consistently predict what the price is going to do next.

The Power Spike Mechanical Stock Trading System is developed from a strong technical pattern called a “Power Spike”. A power spike is a situation where the volume of one day is substantially greater or higher than the average volume of recent days.

It is one day where the volume spikes up and stands out from the recent volume.

The high volume signals a moment of extreme emotional trading, people are leaping into and out of a stock very fast. It is a moment of impulsive trading.

As a response to the high level of emotional trading, a strong move in price often follows. Big spikes signal big moves. The power spike is a strong sign that a substantial price move is imminent.

** OUTSTANDING STOCK TRADING PERFORMANCE

Huge profits is just one of the unique and outstanding features of the Power Spike Mechanical Stock Trading System. The big move that follows a power spike is often strong and covers a large distance.

Trade profits are the product of price movement. And power spike stock trades quite frequently produce double-digit profits within just a few short days.

Strong internal momentum is built due to the emotional trading occurring on the spike day, and this momentum is released in the ensuing price move. This produces a price surge that typically covers a large distance and moves very quickly.

The Power Spike Mechanical Stock Trading System has become a popular and trusted tool for many traders because it lets you get in and earn huge returns fast. You earn big profits very quickly.

And isn’t that exactly what you want?

** PINPOINTING POWER SPIKES

How can you find and identify this highly profitable technical pattern?

There are several ways you can identify a power spike, but one method is considered the best. This method uses a technical indicator called Bollinger Bands.

Bollinger Bands are applied to the volume data and a power spike occurs when the volume penetrates the upper band.

The intensity and strength of the power spike is determined by how much of the total volume appears above the upper band. Stronger spikes increase the odds of a successful trade.

I suggest you only consider trading spikes where a minimum of 15% of the total volume appears above the upper band. If less than 15% of the total volume penetrates the band, it usually signals a weak spike.

An additional feature of this method is that it lets you rank and compare spikes in multiple stocks. A 38% penetration spike in stock “A” is preferred to a 21% penetration spike in stock “B”.

This method of ranking power spikes is a great way to make initial trade selections.

*** WARNING: A POWER SPIKE IS NOT A TRADE SIGNAL

A power spike is not a signal to jump into a stock trade. It isn’t the green light to pull the trade trigger. A trade signal will happen after the power spike occurs, usually within a few days.

You must first know which direction the expected move is likely to go and when to pull the trigger and get into the trade before you actually invest hard earned money. And this will be determined by how the price reacts after the power spike occurs.

The Power Spike Mechanical Stock Trading System is a great way to trade this incredibly profitable pattern and is a resource you should consider very seriously. There are very few technical patterns that can match the reliability and profitability it offers.

Does the potential of earning huge profits very quickly appeal to you?

Bear or Bull? The Fragile Global Economy and Stock Market

It’s been a difficult year for economics all over the world. With the tumble of the United States economy, in large part due to the absolute plummet of America-based stock markets, including the NASDAQ, a ripple effect was set into motion that reached further than many analysts could have predicted. While many talking heads experts recommended that it wasn’t a time to sell back in October of 2008, as the picture became clearer, many financial gurus were left scratching their heads in confusion.

No one has been more confused about recent events in the global economy than the numerous consumers in various countries. It truly came as a surprise to people all over the world when global markets started tanking in October of 2008, mostly because after other near-misses in the global economy, it’s mystifying to think that something could go on for so long and end so poorly.

It’s no wonder that trouble in the United States could bring a global economy down, especially when the numbers are looked at. A significant chunk of the global economy depends on the economy and the markets of the United States. A number of smaller countries didn’t have the pleasure of getting bailed out by their federal governments, with countries such as Iceland going completely broke simply because a country that small could not possibly bail itself right out.

International industry is a major component in how the financial troubles of one major industrialized nation could impact so many others. Many business are now international, especially corporations with a great deal of power and market shares. To do business well in the 21st century is to understand it as an international enterprise, and since investments are tied into a world scale, it’s no wonder that stock markets crashing can have such an epic and global effect.

It’s not just the economy, either. Many investment companies have recommended branching out from one’s home country and trying various markets around the world. When the American dollar is the base of so many financial interactions and it starts to slip, it takes a whole lot of value and wealth along with it.

Unfortunately, in the past ten years, that hasn’t happened fast enough. With the real estate market booming in the United States, a number of different companies represented on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange by hordes of high-strung brokers were dealing in mortgages that the borrowers could never have possibly paid back. When the banks and mortgages houses finally got wind of what was happening, everyone made such a fuss about backing away quickly that the economy went right with them.

It wasn’t just the market, but the banks, that played a part in the latest near-collapse. With so many banks folding left and right, not just in the United States but in many European nations, and even as far away as Asia, federal governments had to scramble. In some countries, like Iceland, the federal government couldn’t bail out the banks and outsiders had to step in, while in the United States, the government now owns shares in Bank of America, like it or not, and BoA has been an integral part of taking over other failing banks.

While many people chalk their confusion of recent economic events up to simply not understanding, the fact of the matter is that even those people who understand are surprised at the turn that events have taken, and at how far markets were allowed to fall before government stepped in to intervene. While playing the stock market used to be a pastime worth recommending, now is not a good time to start in with investing, regardless of if the market turns bear or bull.

Damian Papworth enjoys stock market trading. It has become a big part of his work from home income.

A Spiraling Market and Rising Penny Stock Opportunities

It’s been a wild and wooly couple of weeks on the international stock markets. But is the recent slide grinding to a halt…or just taking a breather before tumbling some more? And more importantly, what does it mean to astute penny stock investors?

Wall Street recently stumbled to its worst week of the year, and global stock markets fell dramatically on concerns about rising interest rates and slowing growth. After rising almost 9% in the first four months of the year, the Dow Jones industrial average has fallen about 6.5% from a six-year high, reached May 10, 2006.

Stocks have been ailing because penny stock investors fear the Fed could be so focused on inflation that it ignores signs of an economic slowdown, raises interest rates too high and sends the economy into a recession.

Global stock markets were sent reeling last week after golden-tongued U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke shocked penny stock investors in saying the Fed will continue raising interest rates to keep inflation in check.

And that decision will have a direct impact on the penny stock market. Higher interest rates hurt penny stock prices because investors believe it will curb economic growth and corporate profits.

But why is inflation heating up? Higher energy costs. Traders and penny stock investors are also worried that with the hurricane season officially under way, Gulf Coast refineries and oil production sites could be damaged again this summer and fall.

And higher interest rates have the ability to affect the entire economy. Finance charges on credit cards will rise. So too will rates on mortgages and home equity loans, putting additional pressure on homebuyers and a softening housing market. Ultimately, it will cost more to borrow for expansion.

But does this signal doom-and-gloom for the penny stock market? Au contraire. While the temptation to sell everything can be overwhelming, some see this as a great opportunity. “I would not be selling. I would tend to be buying,” said one New York analyst.

So how exactly is this an opportunity? It just so happens that many companies caught in the market’s downward spiral are cheaper than they were a few weeks ago. And as any seasoned penny stock investor will tell you, buying a great penny stock when it’s been beaten down isn’t a bad way to make money over the long haul.

If you can stomach some of the volatility that is. While many blue chip investors have difficulty handling the market’s unpredictability…it’s par for the course.

So, “snap out of it,” said another watcher. A month of dizzying selling has brought the markets into an attractive range. Is it possible the markets will fall more? Absolutely. After all, no penny stock is a sure thing. But one thing is certain: “Stocks are much cheaper now than they were two months ago.”

In Case You Are A Beginner Then Be Sure To Learn How To Trade Stocks

If you wish to learn how to trade stocks and make good profits be sure to understand that this is an activity that does not allow beginners (by and large) to succeed until they have become experienced enough to understand the ins and outs of the industry.

Furthermore, today, a lot more information is available about companies listed on the stock exchanges and this means that with some research it becomes possible to judge the merits and demerits of these companies. Once you get to know how a company is performing and also how it will perform in the future you then have a better chance of entering into a profitable trade.

People that wish to learn how to trade stocks will, if they are conservatively minded, want to keep risks to a minimum and so would be better off choosing a few but steady blue-chip stocks. GE is a good example of a low risk blue-chip stock and you can easily hold this stock for a couple of years or more. At the same time, you have to also accept the fact that such stocks generally do not appreciate in value in the short term.

Companies are known to list their stocks on different stock exchanges that can be located anywhere in the US. In fact, different stock exchanges are always engaging in stiff competition with other stock exchanges. This is because a company whose stocks are much in demand will attract more money to trade in and this helps the stock exchange to make more money. So, they need to outdo the other stock exchanges.

When it comes to making profitable trades in the stock market you should learn to differentiate between stocks with a ticker assigned to them and those that do not have these tickers. A ticker or a trading symbol allow you to remember a stock and can be considered the company’s DNA. Knowing a stock’s ticker means that you can find out more information about the company and its stock and then you can decide whether or not to trade in it.

According to experts, it pays to purchase between thirty and one hundred different stocks; however, this may not always be the most practical solution and you also won’t earn quite as much money in this way as you would want to.

To make safer trades you will do well to make good use of what is known as the P/E Ratio of a company which will help you to find out whether buying a particular stock is worthwhile or not. This P/E Ratio (Price to Earnings (or Profit) ratio can indicate to you whether the stock’s price will rise in relation to the stock’s profitability.

These stock exchanges are all controlled by the US Stock and Exchange Commission that is a watch dog as well as regulator of the entire securities industry in the United States. In addition, it also provides programs that help in educating investors about among other things learning how to trade stocks.

Secrets of Stock Trading

It is very important to educate yourself before attempting to do any type of stock trading. There are a few different markets designed for stock trading such as the NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange and you should be familiar with them, even if you have others do the initial investment.

Day trading is one form of trading stocks. People from all walks of life can use the internet to buy and sell the 50 hottest stocks. At the end of the day the goal is to make a profit and then start all over again the next day.

However, it is now open to anybody that has a basic understand of the stock market and an initial investment to spend. The goal is obviously to profit, and many people find the thrill of day trading to be addictive. They can do it from home or anywhere they have a computer with internet connection.

Of course, money that is spent on trades can be subject to commissions. If you are using a brokerage house to buy and sell stocks they will charge you commissions to carry out your orders. They can charge per trade or give you a certain number of trades for a set price, it depends on their policies.

All brokerages are different in regards to how much commissions they charge. There are often other fees involved as well. Before you sign any agreements with a brokerage house, be sure to read the fine print of the contract so you get a clear idea of fee schedules and pricing.

Some people use investing as a way to build up capital. The money can be used for long term goals, such as retirement. Still others like the immediate gains of investing and that’s probably one of the reasons that day trading is so popular. Whatever the reasons are for wanting to spend money on the stock market, it is always a good idea to pay attention to the ups and downs so that your losses are always smaller than your gains.
