Swing Trading Secrets

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

There is a way of trading stocks that is based on the amounts of time that traders can hold for certain stocks. It is swing trading. Typically, it is for short time periods that are no more than fourteen days and typically less. When this time has passed, the trader has the option to sell their stocks according the price of the week or the introductory month.

When stocks are going through shorter term movements, that is when traders are concerned with this type of stock. They do not rely on types of technical analysis and they try to cash out during this time period. They are different among other kinds of traders because they are not focused on company fundamentals or researching the company itself.

A swing trader will typically stick with picking stocks that are large cap and belong to bigger name companies. They pick these ones because this type of company makes a lot of money through time and is established within the market for longer term. The stocks these companies have go both up and down in markets and a trader will take advantage of this in the short term and cash in.

Traders are able to make money within the stock market by two methods. The first is to invest in stocks by dividend income. The second is to invest in stocks by capital appreciation.

Swing traders do not use dividend income. This type would not make them money because they are not long term investors and are short term investors. With capital appreciation, they have the potential to make profits.

That was a little info on swing trading stocks. If a person can understand how these work and the terms behind the concept, they will make better decisions for investing. It will help keep them informed and with that and smart decision making will come a lessened chance of losing money they have invested.

Reliance Money Is All For Rural India

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Reliance Money has recommended investors to “Subscribe” to the initial public offering of Talwalkars Better Value Fitness.

The company entered the primary market Wednesday with an issue size of 60,50,000 shares. The price band of the IPO is fized at Rs 123-128 and plans to raise around Rs 74.2 crore (at lower price band) and Rs 77.44 crore (at the upper price band).

“Despite expected strong growth, we believe the stock is valued at around 30x its FY12E EPS at the higher end of the price band. However, considering the niche industry TBVF operates in, its brand recall, first mover advantage and strong growth prospects, we believe that premium valuations could sustain. Hence, we recommend Subscribe to the issue with a longer-term perspective. However this does not take away the fact that the IPO is a high-risk issue.

Investment Tips To Remember

Monday, May 17th, 2010

In this article, we make an attempt to list down a few points that would aid an investor in mitigating the risks and curtailing the losses during times of volatility as large investors (read FIIs) enter and exit stocks. Read on

Manage greed/fear: This is an important point, which every investor must keep in mind owing to its great influencing ability in equity investment decisions. This point simply means that in a bull run – control the greed factor, which could entice you, the investor, to compromise with your investment principles. By this we mean that while an investor could get lured into investing in penny and small-cap stocks owing to their eye-popping returns, it must be noted that these stocks have the potential to wipe out almost the entire invested capital.

Avoid trading/timing the market: This is one factor, which many experts/investors claim to have understood but are more often wrong than right. We believe that it is rather impossible to time the market on a day-to-day basis and by adopting such an approach, an investor would most probably be at the losers’ end at the end of the day. In fact, investors should take advantage of the huge volatility that is witnessed in the markets time and again

Avoid actions based on rumours/sentiments: Rumours are a part and parcel of stock markets, which do influence investor sentiments to some extent. However, investing on the basis of this could prove to be detrimental to an investors’ portfolio, as these largely originate from sources with vested interests, which more often than not, turn out to be false. This then leads to carnage in the related stock(s) leaving retail investors in the lurch. However, if we consider this from another point of view, when sentiments turn sour but fundamentals remain intact, investors could take the opportunity to build a fundamentally strong portfolio.

Keep Margin of Safety: Having a stock with a high margin of safety is no guarantee that the investor would not face losses in the future. Businesses are subject to various internal and external risks, which may affect the earnings growth prospects of a company over the long-term. But if a portfolio of stocks is selected with adequate margin of safety, the chances of losses over the long term are minimised.

Follow research: The upswing in the stock markets attracts many retail investors into investing into equities. However, picking fundamentally strong stocks is not an easy task. In fact, it is even more difficult to identify a stock in a bullish market, when much of the positives are already factored into the stock price, making them an expensive buy. It is very important to understand here that owning a stock is in effect, owning a part of the company. Hence, a detailed and thorough research of the financial and business prospects of the company is a must.

Invest for the long-term: Short-term stock price movements are affected by various factors including rumours, sentiments, market perception, liquidity, etc, however, in the long-term, stock price tends to align themselves with its fundamentals. Of course, it must be noted that the above list is not exhaustive and there may be many more points that an investor needs to understand and follow in order to be a successful investor.

Further, the above points are not just a read but needs to be practiced on a consistent basis. While making wealth in the stock markets was never an effortless exercise, it becomes all the more difficult when stock markets/stock prices are at newer highs.

Southridge Capital on Strong Gains in Marketing and Retail Sectors

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Since the marketing sector has seen strong gains, Southridge Capital has been doing some research. According to the chair of the Institute for Supply Management? Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, Norbert J. Ore: ?The manufacturing sector grew for the eighth consecutive month during March?.

The growth rate is the quickest since July of 2004 indicated by the PMI. Mr. Ore pointed out, of the 17 industries that are followed; only rubber and plastic had contracted in the previous month.

Our inflation rate hasn’t moved since these positive numbers have been recorded. Southridge Capital is optimistic since the economy is still undergoing positive growth.

Recent reports have shown the retail market saw strong gains for 5 consecutive weeks. All major retail groups have seen their sales increase.

Since consumer spirits are up in concern to the economy, consumers are allocating more money to their spending. Hence, you see gains across multiple sectors. Over the last 2 years, companies have waited for consumers to open there wallets, but some could no longer wait. We can remember some of the bigger companies that fell victim to this: Filene?s Basement, Chrysler, Fortunoff, GM, Eddie Bauer and Circuit City all filed Chapter 11 during this time frame. It is our feeling that consumers are finally turning the corner.

One example of a company that was able to hold its own during the recession and should do better as the economy turns is Mattel?s Barbie doll. U.S. Barbie dolls sales, increased for the fourth consecutive quarter, and in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Global sales for Mattel?s Barbie doll also rose 3 percent. Mattel, Inc., (NASDAQ:MAT) did a survey, and voted on making a Barbie doll as computer engineer. Mattel has over 125 different ?looks? to it star, and is trading just about at its 52 week high. It?s good to see that there is still enough discretionary income in the system for a Barbie.
