Below is a taste of what our Members receive absolutely FREE in our Newsletter. When you implement these strategies, with our Stock Picks, you’ve found a sure fire recipe to Making Money in the Stock Market, laid out for you in a easy to understand way.

Day Trading Strategies:

PATIENCE:

Wait for all the stars to line up! Good things come to those who wait, be it low buy prices or high sell prices. Sometimes if you had only waited, you could have sold higher or bought lower.

Have patience! It’s without a doubt one of the golden keys to making money in the stock market. The patient trader has self-control and waits for his indicators to tell him when to enter or exit.

Even if the market “appears” to have ended its rally, if it does not meet certain criteria the trader had previously set for himself, he must wait.

REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY:

If patience is the golden key to trading, then the silver key is doing things opposite from the rest of the market! You want to buy when the average investor is selling and driving the price down.

And when good news is driving a stocks price higher, you want to sell your shares at the over inflated price.

Buying when stocks are falling and selling when they are moving into higher ground is one of the hardest things to learn to do when you first start trading.

We don’t have the luxury of holding our stocks for years to help iron out the little highs and lows. We live off the little highs and lows! Buy when there is blood in the streets!

EMOTIONS:

The stock market is very good at playing on your emotions. In order to be a good trader, you must look at the market in a cold, hard way. When the masses are selling in a panic, you must stand fast or step up and buy.

Remember that the market is made up of emotional herds buying and selling in waves. You must be the cold, cunning and calculating wolf looking over the herd for your kill. Don’t panic sell and don’t buy on hysteria.

MARKET ORDERS:

Don’t use them unless you have to. Don’t ever place a market order for a stock at the opening of the market, or when a stock is making new ground fast.

Putting in a market order in the first 15 minutes of the market is a sure way of paying the highest possible price for your stock, because as all the built up orders from the previous day go through, it lifts the stock prices for a few minutes.

You can be pretty sure that your order will go off at the high of the day this way. (but keep in mind it’s sometimes handy to sell during this time).

STOP LOSSES:

These are almost as bad as market orders. Stop losses are a sure way of selling at a loss.

You can only use them when you are “in the money” and would normally sell your stock, but want to retain a slight possibility that it might continue to go higher.

BUYING LOW:

Sometimes the best way to buy low is to put in an order for a stock at “a price you’d love to own the stock at.” Let’s assume for a moment that the stock you want is trading at 100, try putting in an order at 95 and wait it out, what do you have to lose?

You never know when you might hit the low for the day that way. It’s far better than putting your order at 99, only to find it crashed past that, filled your order and continued down to 95.

You’d be surprised what an effective way this can be to both buy and sell. When you get your “dream” price, it’s a great feeling.

SELLING:

Selling is actually harder than buying in many ways. Try to decide what price you want to sell your stock at as soon as you buy it, so when that price does come along, you’ll be ready to move.

FREE LUNCH:

If there is a free lunch in day trading, it’s picking stocks that are making new medium trend highs to trade with. That way if you do get in at the wrong point, there’s a much better chance that your high buy will turn into the next low buy as the stock moves higher in its overall trend.

This is one of the only safety nets you have in day trading, when combined with patience and some extra cash reserves.

IF YOU ARE WRONG:

Then you are wrong! Don’t try to justify a bad trade by convincing yourself it will turn into a good trade.

If you buy on the high side, then sell at break even and buy

ICBC Plans No Fund Raising; Loans Jump to Record in 2009

Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., the world’s largest lender by market value, said it has no fund-raising plan at the moment even as it boosted lending by 24 percent to a record last year.

ICBC’s capital adequacy ratio is “sound” and the highest among rivals, and pressure on capital raising is “not big,” President Yang Kaisheng said at a press conference in Beijing yesterday.

China’s banks doled out a combined 9.59 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion) in new loans last year, helping the government engineer a turnaround in the world’s third- largest economy. The credit binge drained lenders’ capital and sparked concerns about asset bubbles, a higher number of bad loans and increased inflation pressure.

China’s publicly-traded banks have already raised about 131 billion yuan from bond and share sales since the second half of last year to replenish capital drained by loan growth, and they have announced plans to raise a further 127 billion yuan, according to Bloomberg data.

Beijing-based ICBC’s capital adequacy ratio, a measure of the bank’s financial strength, fell to 12.60 percent at the end of third quarter, from 13.06 percent at the end of 2008.

The nation’s policy makers aim to avert asset bubbles and restrain inflation by limiting new credit at 7.5 trillion yuan this year. China’s growth accelerated to 10.7 percent in the fourth quarter, the fastest pace since 2007, and property prices climbed the most in 21 months.

Boost Financing

ICBC said it will boost financing to projects already under construction and to small-and-medium sized firms and cut loans to new projects that are not government-backed and if they’re energy-intensive or polluting. Loans would also be reduced to sectors with overcapacity, Yang said.

Loans by the bank this year will be less than in 2009, Yang said. ICBC’s new loans were 1.03 trillion yuan last year, Yang said. That’s a record, according to calculations based on Bloomberg data.

After a government bailout five years ago, ICBC is now the world’s biggest bank by value. The lender has more than doubled profit during the past three years and has more than 16,000 outlets nationwide and 112 branches outside China, and 190 million personal customers — equivalent to the populations of Russia and Canada combined.

ICBC on March 4 submitted a tender offer to buy all shares in Thailand’s ACL Bank Pcl in a deal that would give ICBC a foothold in the southeastern Asian nation after acquisitions in Indonesia, Macau, South Africa and Canada since 2007. The bank aims to triple the share of profit coming from abroad to 10 percent.

ICBC will be “active and prudent” with overseas expansion this year, Yang said.

Sun Tzu – The Art of War

The Oldest Military Treatise in the World!

The Principles of Warfare:

Calculations!
Sun-tzu said:

Warfare is a great matter to a nation; it is the ground of death and of life; it is the way of survival and of destruction, and must be examined.

Therefore, go through it by means of five factors; compare them by means of calculation, and determine their statuses:

One, Way, two, Heaven, three, Ground, four, General, five, Law.

The Way is what causes the people to have the same thinking as their superiors; they may be given death, or they may be given life, but there is no fear of danger and betrayal.

Heaven is dark and light, cold and hot, and the seasonal constraints.

Ground is high and low, far and near, obstructed and easy, wide and narrow, and dangerous and safe.

General is wisdom, credibility, benevolence, courage, and discipline.

Law is organization, the chain of command, logistics, and the control of expenses.

All these five no general has not heard;
one who knows them is victorious,
one who does not know them is not victorious.

Therefore, compare them by means of calculation, and determine their statuses.

Ask:

Which ruler has the Way.

Which general has the ability.

Which has gained Heaven and Ground.

Which carried out Law and commands.

Which army is strong.

Which officers and soldiers are trained.

Which reward and punish clearly, by means of these, I know victory and defeat!

A general who listens to my calculations, and uses them, will surely be victorious, keep him.

A general who does not listen to my calculations, and does not use them, will surely be defeated, remove him.

Calculate advantages by means of what was heard, then create force in order to assist outside missions.

Force is the control of the balance of power, in accordance with advantages.

Warfare Is the Way of Deception:

Therefore, if able, appear unable, if active, appear not active, if near, appear far, if far, appear near.

If they have advantage, entice them;
if they are confused, take them,
if they are substantial, prepare for them,
if they are strong, avoid them,
if they are angry, disturb them,
if they are humble, make them haughty,
if they are relaxed, toil them,
if they are united, separate them.

Attack where they are not prepared, go out to where they do not expect.

This specialized warfare leads to victory, and may not be transmitted beforehand.

Before doing battle, in the temple one calculates and will win, because many calculations were made.

Before doing battle, in the temple one calculates and will not win, because few calculations were made.

Many calculations, victory, few calculations, no victory, then how much less so when no calculations?

By means of these, I can observe them, beholding victory or defeat!

Value Investing

Value investing claims that the stock market sometimes undervalues a stock’s true worth, as revealed by financial information.

The theory claims that the market is slow to react, but in time it will eventually assign a value that accurately prices a security.

A value investor (see Value Averaging) looks for a stock that is trading at or below what it really is worth.

Why it’s important to know about this?

There are two distinct ways to determine if a stock is trading too cheaply:

1. One way is to compare the stock with other stocks.

Usually the markets run in cycles. If everyone is currently buying technology stocks, perhaps they are selling bank stocks.

Bank stocks might be sold off more than what they should have, which could result in giving the savvy investor an opportunity to find a good value in a stock (within a sector) that is currently unloved.

Look at the ratios: If a technology stock and a bank stock both grow earnings 15% a year, but the technology stock is trading at a P/E ratio of 30 and the bank stock’s P/E is 20, it looks as if the bank stock is cheaper.

2. The other way an investor might spot value is to know something about the company that he doesn’t believe is factored into the price.

AAA company coming out with a new “Miracle Product.”

ABB company owns real estate worth several billions that is not reflected properly on the balance sheet.

XYZ industry being deregulated promising more mergers and acquisitions.

The advantage to this strategy is usually less volatility and less downside risk if the markets start to fall. The biggest criticism of value investing is that it often times doesn’t provide instant gratification.

Many investors want to see their stock double within weeks of buying it. On the other hand …

Value investors often have to wait for a lot longer than that!
