If you want to buy stocks, go to gurufocus.com and buy the last big purchases of Buffet, Greenblatt, Rodriguez or similar. <BR/><BR/>But DON'T begin to trade if you don't understand what you are doing before. Otherwise you'll lose all your money. You must read several good books before on investment and trading, and later just do "paper trading". When all works risk your money, not before. <BR/><BR/>Regards.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145069601184171585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374666.post-64261580579173498882007-05-03T01:31:00.000-04:002007-05-03T01:31:00.000-04:00so if one thinks success one will be successful-th...so if one thinks success one will be successful-that is what you are saying PD? and what is "IBD" i am totally new to all of this! a total beginner i started in april and have had little success and a few big failures-i was on the bad side of the akamai fiasco went long instead of short with a twitch of my finger and was too stuborn to buy amazon-i need discipline and some pointers for sure-wife and child depend on it cause i my back is no good from too much construction-but i had adhd as a child and trading uses all my god given gifts adhd is a blessing not a curse-anywho i say thank you for all the good beta and i need to know how to read the charts you put up---the ones with all the X's and O's looks like some sort of predictive filtering going on?also if you could look @ CQB's chart for today-the 2nd- and let me know what in the sam hell went on with there stock???????? by the analysis i did the stock should have tanked by the numbers given-BIGGEST ????? how much market manipulation goes on behind the closed doors of wall street? seems some stocks zig when they should have zagged and versa visa-like i said i am new to all of this-a little help and sympathy from this seemingly great crowd of people on your blog-thanks for your ear :) <BR/>Namaste-TUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048591262055698959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374666.post-49127541420108195852007-05-02T13:55:00.000-04:002007-05-02T13:55:00.000-04:00It outperforms the market by various % based on wh...It outperforms the market by various % based on what rules one uses.

In most cases it is not the lack of tools that prevents us from trading profitable methods, but our intentions. <BR/>If you reflect you will notice those who do not want to trade profitably find many creative ways to avoid being profitable.<BR/>Same way in life, you will find successful people find many innovative ways to be successful.

If you take 40% earnings you get 30 candidates after removing based on price growth etc, then again it becomes an issue of how do I cut this down further. So I prefer 100% plus.<BR/>The other more critical thing is if you analyze the stocks which really make a move in year of say 300 to 1000 plus kind, they will in most probability have earnings which are in triple digit plus. Also stock which create a frenzied buying post earnings where they make 50% plus move in few weeks tend to be one with 100% plus growth and not 40 to 50% ones. <BR/><BR/>So I like playing high odds game.Pradeep Bondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16750002566366368685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374666.post-19020781921546084522007-05-02T11:41:00.000-04:002007-05-02T11:41:00.000-04:00I get IBD electronic edition.

F...YBN<BR/>Please read all posts in the earnings series. <BR/>From my earlier post:<BR/>A variation of the earnings trade is also an useful addition to your trading arsenal. There are a handful of companies which have at any given time very high sales growth. They may or may not have earnings. This happens in biotech, pharma and high technology field. In these kind of companies the sales acceleration acts as a catalyst, kicking off multi month rallies post earnings.<BR/><BR/>So in addition to 100% plus earnings , I track companies which had a 100% plus sales/revenue growth and recent quarter sales/revenue are above 10 million. Now some of these might have good earnings growth, but the hyper sales growth alone acts as a catalyst in such cases. Now if these companies had no rally prior to the earnings season and show sudden revenue acceleration, you will notice they immediately jump. Again the rallies in such companies last for few quarters or years.<BR/><BR/>The biggest winners in a year typically come from such hyper growth companies.Pradeep Bondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16750002566366368685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374666.post-29384949594119264862007-05-02T09:01:00.000-04:002007-05-02T09:01:00.000-04:00ARAY, EFJI, both sales above 100% .ARAY, EFJI, both sales above 100% .Pradeep Bondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16750002566366368685noreply@blogger.com
