Ancient Chinese Secrets To Help Your Stock Trading.

Today I’m going to discuss some ancient Chinese secrets to help you in your stock trading. No – they don’t involve Japanese Candlesticks – that’s Japan, not China!

What I’m talking about are several ancient systems still practiced today that can create inner harmony, peace and tranquility so you can achieve total focus on the task at hand – beating the stock market!

Trading stocks can be a stressful experience. These ancient Chinese secrets should help…


Chinese Techniques For Your Health And Strength

Chi Kung (Qigong) and Tai Chi are only a few of the keys to self-trusting and to physical harmony. Using these techniques, you can achieve many accomplishments without having to put yourself through great psychological or physical efforts, violent conflicts or aggression.

Be sure that, once you dominate the genuine laws of the universe, which you assimilate by the methods above, it will be impossible for someone to dominate you.

Chi Kung (Qigong) – the art of internal harmony

Chi Kung (or Qigong) is a philosophical system at least 5,000 years old, which made it through the centuries and which became very popular at the beginning of this millennium. This art of the vital energy is the most advanced and complex method of improving health and longevity, by offering a feeling of harmony with yourself and with the surrounding world. The four main principles of this technique are: the mind, the eyes, the movement and the breathing.

The mind represents the intention, the eyes are considered the focusing of intention, the movement is the action of intention and the breathing is flood of intention. It obviously takes time and practice to understand profoundly their dynamics.

The benefits resulting from practicing Chi Kung can be divided into five categories:

• Cure of illnesses and improvement of the general health state
• Increase of vitality and development of your internal force
• Prolongation of youth
• Cultivation of the mind and intellectual capacities
• Spiritual progress

According to Chinese medicine, various diseases are the result of anger, sadness, joy, harmony and optimism deficit. All these factors,
together with deficient nourishment, make Chiu – the vital energy – diminish or to be present in only certain parts of your body. By practicing Chi
Kung, you can learn to be more conscious of what’s going on in your inner universe and to build yourself a defensive system against the
disequilibrium, which affects your vital force.

The harmony of breathing and the agility obtained without efforts during the training sessions, confer a better concentration and a fast recovery from stress and tiredness, by inviting you to meditation.

Tai Chung Chuan (Tai Chi) – the wonder dance

You must have seen on TV that in China, very early in the morning, hundreds of people, in large groups or alone, perform apparently weird
movements. These gymnastics, with waving movements, represents for them an ancestral inheritance. The eternity of the universe and the
rhythm of its permanent changes have induced the idea that the human being can become immortal if he adapts to and follows this rhythm. This
technique represents a putting into practice of the subtle side of the human being (spiritual evolution, mental control etc) and the physical side
(muscles, articulation, bones etc).

Whenever you feel intellectually or physically tired, Tai Chi Chuan gives you the possibility to gain back, in only a few minutes, you strength and
your harmony.

There are also other Chinese arts whose efficiency has been proven along the centuries, so don’t hesitate to attend Chinese seminars, in order
to get more information, whenever you have the chance.

Ancient Chinese Secrets To Improve Your Stock Trading!

Beginner Stock Trading

Are You A Beginner At Stock Trading? Is It Your Destiny To Be A Stock Trading Pro In Just Thirty Days?

If you are a beginner at stock trading, you may feel overwhelmed.  After all, there are hundreds, if not thousands of different systems, strategies and techniques you can choose from to try to master stock trading and investing.

Value investing, growth investing, fundamental analysis, technical analysis – where do you start? You certainly have a plethora of choices.

What if someone came up with a totally visual system, tried, tested and proven in the real world for decades, that almost forced you to be profitable? And what if that system combined the best parts of all those other strategies?  Finally, what if you could master this system in thirty days or less?

More on that in a minute, but first…

Do you feel you are destined to become a great stock trader? Or do you feel you can defeat all odds thrown in your way, and just decide to be one? The following article will shed some light on that subject.


Can We Decide On Our Own Destiny?

Fate, destiny, resignation – they all seem to be synonyms up to a certain point. But, what if your whole life you’ve been a fighter and simply refuse to surrender in a certain situation? Can we rebel against our own destiny? Can we truly decide the way that we are going to follow in life?

These are all questions with no definite or final answer, but nevertheless, everything related to this matter also depends on our determination, our strength to defeat the obstacles we meet before reaching the ultimate aspiration.

A lot of people, who have been remarkably good at doing something during their lives, including business, sports, science etc, confess that fate seemed to be against them at the beginning and even throughout their career. Most of them lived completely different lives before being successful and they are proud to remember those times. It was indeed hard, most of them say, but they wanted to get to the top badly; nothing could have held them back from getting where they wanted. They also admit that they never dared to dream they would be so famous or successful in the future.

All these facts make us wonder, whether an apparently pre-established destiny can be modified or completely changed, if we manage to prove we really want something and we are determined to go all the way to get it, no matter what. And if we indeed can change fate, to whom should we demonstrate what we’re capable of? Could there be a way to modify the data, which composes the famous book of life, just as easy as correcting something on a computer? And if that is true, how do we know that there wasn’t a mistake in the first place, and our determination does not do more than correct it?

Obviously, all that was presented before represents suppositions. Nevertheless, since there are different people who testify that their lives changed, this increases our confidence that we can do it too. If we can’t control our destiny, we can, at least, contribute to what’s happening to us during our existence.

Maybe, although we were supposed to have a less fortunate destiny, if we treat others the right way, if we are always honest and always mind the truth, somehow bad fate will go around us, showing us that we can make our own destiny.

On the other hand, we cannot help wondering what happens to a person who starts off with a wonderful destiny, but during his or her life commits a series of unpardonable mistakes. Will that destiny change?

Could it be true that we actually get the destiny we deserve? Persons who suffer tremendously for having lost somebody dear to them or persons born with a disease or a handicap, will answer no! There are a lot of innocent people in pain, so the theory that we get what we deserve is not always accurate. But what if we have to pay for the errors others committed? Would that make us think deeper before carrying out something we are not really proud of, fearing that some innocent human being will pay, in the future, for our present actions?

There is no doubt that opinions are split when it comes to such a subject. However, meditating on this kind of themes helps us understand ourselves better and, hopefully, gets us closer to appreciating our fate and destiny.


And now, on to business…

Trading For A Living – How To Have Balance When Your Spouse Has A Career Too.

If you do stock trading or day trading of any kind for a living, you may encounter some “issues” with your spouse. After all, he or she may have to go out and face the trials and tribulations of the world – perilous traffic, bosses in a bad mood, those “idiotic”, child-like co-workers, etc. - while you just sit at your home office desk and trade all day.  So there just might be some tension – or even jealousy - arising in your significant other because of this situation.

Here’s an article with some tips about how to handle that scenario. And then I’ll be back later on with a resource to help in your trading for a living quest.


Can There Be Two Careers Under The Same Roof?

The common couple nowadays is often made of two career-oriented people. Nevertheless, due to the amount of time each of them has to dedicate to their profession, the risk of endangering the future of their relation is quite high.

But what if you find yourself in the middle of a wonderful relation and both of you have a wonderful career to follow? Is there anything you can do to prevent a disastrous break-up or to avoid competition?

Unfortunately, there is a certain category of persons who are so interested in their professional life, that they become absolutely rigid and inflexible, when it comes to a love relation. These persons, possessing great professional ambitions, have in common a series of qualities which make them so needed at work: they are always ready for competition, they have leadership qualities, but they can also follow rules and regulations. They live an exciting life and since they don’t have to compromise too much at work, they feel unable to negotiate things in a relation.

The way to make a love story work between two professionals is, without any doubt, respecting the other! We finally live in a world where both men and women are equal, so we should all respect the other one’s professional aspirations and share the responsibilities.

When you get involved with a professionally oriented person, try to understand that the job that person has is more than a regular one. It often involves working extra hours, bringing home work related materials that need to be read, traveling and participating in all sorts of events.

The greatest problem this kind of couples has to confront with is lack of time. That is why they have to keep in mind to try to make any second spent together a memorable one. Another key element is teamwork: all the responsibilities around the house must be shared, but also, each must be ready to solve something the other can’t do.

Here is some advice, regarding the rules that make a relationship work:

• Try to learn and to be the best when it comes to organizing and scheduling the things you need to do.

• At least once a week or once every two weeks plan a night out. It will help you remember that life is more than work and household responsibilities.

• Although you have very little time to do the things you want, keep in mind to dedicate some of it only to yourself.

• When you feel you can’t keep up with everything: taking care of the children, cooking, doing great at work, mowing the lawn, etc. ask for help: turn to your parents, hire somebody a few hours a week, at least from time to time.

• Keep in mind that communication is essential. Take advantage of every second you guys are together, in order to remind your partner how much she or he means to you.

• Try to get rid of stress in any other place than home: instead of arguing with everybody, go to the gym!

Adapt these suggestions to your own couple’s personality and you’re sure to make it work. Remember that the career should be a reason to be proud, so support your partner in any career movements that make him or her happy.

Stock Trading And Investing Without Emotion – Here’s One Way To Do It.

With this blog post, I’m starting a new series of articles related to Self Improvement As It Applies To Stock Trading And Investing. I sincerely hope you all enjoy these articles.

Our leadoff article discusses human emotions – why they are important, but how they can get in the way of successful stock trading and investing. You’ll also discover a brand new book on trading containing a system you can use to virtually eliminate human emotions from your own day-to-day trading.

A Safe Place For Your Mind

Emotions tend to dominate our actions and reactions, even though we like to claim otherwise. Society often sees emotions as a sign of weakness, so we got used to putting them aside and try to focus on the rational aspects more and more. But no matter how strict and logical you want to be, you will always be a human being, not a robot, and so you will always feel.

Positive emotions are a lifelong goal for many of us. What is more important, in the end: how much money you made during your life or how many times you laughed? However, people tend to put their positive emotions in the dark shadow of their negative feelings. This is one of the biggest problems we come across during our lives. There is no obvious way to ignore a negative experience and try to replace it with positive ones. It just doesn’t work that way.

As a child, if your goldfish dies, you would be extremely sad. Your parents will certainly buy you another goldfish, but the sorrow still takes a long time to go away. Things get even more serious with adults. A fight with your spouse the night before will affect your entire day. You will go to work angry, tired, with your mind wandering. Then you will go home with an even worse mood. On the way from work towards home you won’t be able to notice the sun shining and you won’t be tempted to stop at the supermarket and buy your favorite ice cream. All these because that one negative thought is contaminating the way you perceive the reality around you.

In this moment you will feel that finding a safe place to relax your mind would do wonders. And that place is relatively easy to find. It can be an actual location or an imaginary place. The best idea is to totally emerge yourself in it. Let’s say you have a problem on your mind and it just won’t go away. Go bowling! You don’t know how to bowl, you say? No problem, go out and try it! Get caught up in the game, think about those funny shoes, choose a favorite ball, invent new strategies to throw and so on. Your mind will suddenly jump from the negative thoughts that dominated your last hours or days and start processing a whole new kind of information.

A safe place can get many forms. It can be a song, a movie, even a person. The main thing is to allow yourself to get completely involved with this new activity. You might still get flashes of the problem every now and then – ignore them and get even more involved in what you are doing.

When the bowling game, the song, the movie or the conversation ends you will have a rather abrupt return to your problems. You will probably feel sad and want to go back to the safe place. Don’t do that. The safe place exists only as a helping hand, not as a solution to your problems. It is there to help you relax your mind, for a few minutes or hours. This is a vital stage in your solution to what is bothering you. You will return from your safe place with an increased energy level. You will feel better about yourself and gain more confidence that any issue can be resolved. This is how a small escape from a harsh reality can increase your fighting energy and allow you to solve even the most difficult problems.

You can certainly use the strategy above in your day-to-day stock trading and investing. If several of your trades go sour, it may be time to back off. Something is off-kilter, and you may need to go to your “safe place” a day or two to let things sort out. When you’re ready to start trading again, it may seem like a totally different “ball game.”

And now, on to business…

We had the strongest day in the markets yesterday than we’ve had since around this time last year. So I would not at all be surprised to see the markets “take a rest” today, to digest these outsized one-day gains.

But here’s a stock not resting at all today…

Candlestick Analysis

Candlestick Analysis – How To Know When It’s Time To “Back Up The Truck” And Buy Stocks.

Here’s how to know when it’s time to “back up the truck” and buy stocks, using candlestick analysis.

Each and every day, go to BigCharts.com and look at the candlestick charts for the Dow (ticker DJIA) and the NASDAQ Composite (ticker COMP). Take note of the candlestick signal, the moving averages, stochastics and volume.

If the chart shows a price trend extended above the 50-day EMA, and stochastics are in the overbought area, chances are a correction is about to happen. This was the case with the Dow in the 11,300 area recently, and the NAS in the 2,360 area. Sure enough, we went through a pretty sharp correction, and the indexes are both back in their respective 50-day EMA areas.

But take a look at the charts today. Both indexes are showing Bullish Harami candlestick signals, with stochastics in the oversold areas. This means that both indexes are finding support at their respective 50-day EMAs. I expect a positive day tomorrow. If so, that will be a new buy signal for the entire market.

Looking at dozens and dozens of individual stock charts today, I am seeing the same situation verified over and over again. Dozens of fantastic candlestick reversal signals, and great buy setups. Lots of Bullish Engulfings, Bullish Haramis, etc. And most at or near the 50-day EMAs.

This makes it quite an easy task to know the best time to be aggressive, and the best time to back off and be more conservative. And unless the market goes to hell in a handbasket tomorrow, candlestick analysis is telling me it’s time to “back up the truck” and buy.

Here’s an article I wrote a few months ago telling you how to be your own stock analyst using candlestick analysis:

Be Your Own Stock Analyst – Why Now It Is More Important Than Ever

If you have been reading the financial news lately, you have undoubtedly run across the stories of the big fines being levied against ten of the largest brokerage houses. Seems their stock analysts presented unusually “rosy” recommendations of the stocks being underwritten by the investment banking departments of the brokerages. These stocks were then sold to retail investors, after which the stocks promptly proceeded to plummet. Investment bankers were becoming very rich to the detriment of the retail investors.

My wife and I had lunch with some close personal friends this weekend. One of them had been involved in purchasing some of this “rosily” portrayed stock from one of these large brokerage houses, with the same end result of the stock price. She graphically described how she felt after being “taken to the cleaners”:

“You know, some veterinarians have what they call a “donor cat”. This is a cat that has very healthy blood, and is used to donate its blood to the sick cats in the vet’s office. That’s exactly how I felt after losing all that money while the broker was painting a rosy picture all the way down – just like that “donor cat”!”

The fact is, there are inherent problems in the recommendations of a stock analyst. Let’s look at the three main issues with paying attention to what a stock analyst says:

1) A stock analyst is virtually forced to make “rosy” recommendations.

In the brokerage business, underwriting contributes much, much more to profits than does research. If the investment banking department of a big brokerage house underwrites a new issue, do you think a stock analyst in their right mind would have anything negative to say about the stock? Not if they have job security on their mind!

In analyzing the careers of the most successful stock analysts, it has been noted that the highest ranked have been the most “optimistic” of the stock analysts.

2) It is rare for a stock analyst to issue a “sell” recommendation.

Obviously, company CEO’s do not like to see sell recommendations on their company from a stock analyst. Companies can even retaliate against a stock analyst who downgrades the stock. The life of that stock analyst can become pretty miserable.

Stock analyst sell recommendations have historically been in the 2 – 3% range of all recommendations. Even with the new rules enacted last December, they have only gone up to 10%.

3) A stock analyst will overlook key forces at work, like supply and demand in the market.

A typical stock analyst is smart, and knows well the industry sectors and the firms within them that the stock analyst is assigned to cover.  But sometimes their analysis does not take into consideration actual market forces going on at the time.

For instance, a stock analyst may downgrade a stock simply because it is “too high, based on valuation”, even though it is likely to keep rising for months. Or they may upgrade a stock that has fallen to “undervalued levels”, even though the stock may stay “undervalued” for years.

Using our system of Candlestick Analysis, you can easily outperform 90% of these professional, high-paid stock analysts. You can truly be your own stock analyst!

How can I say this? Because all the prejudices of a large brokerage house stock analyst described above are totally irrelevant in Candlestick Analysis. You are not “forced” to view any stock with any preconceived notions. You simply glance at the candlestick pattern and say it’s a “buy” or a “sell”.

You don’t have to wait for months or years for your wonderful analysis to pan out. You will know within a day or two if you were correct in your own analysis.

You are using the information that is going on in the market right now, you are not “mind-reading” the market – you are simply using what the market is telling you by simple analysis of the candlestick patterns.

This is how we can honestly say that it is possible to average 10% per month in the market, because we let the market tell us what we need to do at any particular time.  Is it always easy? Not on your life! But that is what makes this game so fun!

Learn to be your own stock analyst with the techniques we teach you. Don’t be that “donor cat”, ever again. You will have a much more rewarding life.

Secret Stock Trading

Secret Stock Trading – Systems The Stock Market Wizards Use That Anyone Can Master.

I’ve been asked many times about the secrets of successful stock trading.

It seems that lots of people think there’s some sort of “Holy Grail” when it comes to stock trading systems. Some sort of “secret code” the Stock Market Wizards have mastered and are keeping from everyone else, to exploit for their own gains.

And there are, in fact, many totally mechanical, automated systems out there that claim they will show you the best stocks of the day to buy. But there are many dangers and “red flags” related to these canned, what I call “Black Box” systems.

The first “red flag” concerns individuals and companies who are marketing these Black Box systems to the public.

You’ve probably seen some of the infomercials, gotten stacks of mail over the years, and now are witnessing websites sprouting up all over the Internet purporting to have that “Holy Grail” investing or trading system that will turn you into a millionaire by the end of next week.  All you have to do is pay them a small (and sometimes NOT so small!) fee to get access to their “Black Box” system that will spew out market-beating stocks all day long.

If only the real world were that easy.

You see, I’ve actually taken a look at some of those systems over the years, and have found absolutely none that impressed me. In fact, I wouldn’t touch the stocks recommended from some of these systems with a 10-foot pole! Now, I’m not about to mention any names here, so don’t look for that. I’m just trying to make a point.

Actually, I have several points to make.

The first point is this. If an individual or company actually did come up with that so-called Holy Grail system, where it just spewed out stocks that beat the market over and over again, why on earth would they share it with you? If they had any sense, they would keep it as quiet as possible, reap those enormous profits for themselves, become billionaires, and perhaps retire to a life of rest and relaxation on Tahiti.

Here’s my second point about those “Black Box” systems. Maybe it’s just me, but I have to know what’s going on “behind the curtain”. I have to know and understand the parameters the system is using, not only to see if I agree with the scenarios, but to make sure it’s not using techniques I could set up on my own for a lot less money. I know for a fact that some of these software algorithms are producing very, very simple setups you could easily get on your own for free! Or at least for a much smaller fee each month.

Finally, and again it may be just me, but I would never, ever just blindly throw my money at what any system shows me without doing my own analysis. I guess I will always have this thought in the back of my mind: “What if there’s some bug or glitch in this software, and it’s just randomly finding stocks to recommend, using no system whatsoever?” After all, a monkey can outperform the so-called pro’s many times by just picking out stocks randomly. But we don’t want to just depend on random luck do we?

So are there any secrets to stock trading at all? Yes, I think so.

But most of these secrets are “hidden in plain sight”. By that I mean, they are not really “stock trading secrets” in their own right, but merely systems anyone can learn how to use with a little study and effort.

Ready for the real secret to successful stock trading? Here it is…

Simply study the works of the most successful stock traders in history. Most of these guys have written books detailing the exact ways and means they amassed their stock trading fortunes. And the most interesting part is…

Stock Trading Is Not Rocket Science!

For the most part, these Stock Trading Wizards used (and some still use) very simple trading and investing techniques. Some of these financial dynamos simply used price and volume to amass their trading fortunes.

But here’s my own stock trading secret…

I have personally taken the best parts of each of these Stock Market Wizards and created several hybrid systems that are creating some amazing results. Just this past week, we scored a one-day gain of 89% in one stock, and banked a 52% one-day gain just today in another one. These are the kinds of short-term gains these Stock Market Wizards of the past would drool over!

And I’ve decided to release these secrets to the world.

I release most of these secrets in my Trade Your Way To Wealth QuickStart E-Class – How To Out-Trade The Pro’s In 30 Days Or Less… GUARANTEED!

In this 5-part e-class, I take you by the hand and show you, like the rich uncle you never had, how to be a successful stock investor and trader. In about a month, you will know the secrets of the most successful traders in history. I’ll show you most of my secrets, but I’ll go one step better.

I’ll throw in a very special Bonus Lesson called “Trading Secrets Of The Stock Market Wizards”. I’ll summarize for you the exact methods the most successful traders in history used to create immense wealth for themselves. These methods are timeless, since they simply depend on human nature to work.

And they use methods that no “secret stock trading system” can ever reproduce. One reason is that things change each and every day, and over time. Old methods have to be re-adapted to the current market environment, and you need a human brain to understand that kind of thing.

Penny Stock Trading

Penny Stock Trading – How To Do It Successfully.

Some of my Trade Your Way To Wealth Members have asked me about online penny stock trading, and if I have a separate system for trading penny stocks vs. my “regular” stock trading system.

The short answer is “No”.

You see, penny stock trading uses charts, just like our other stock trading systems. And penny stock charts work mostly the same as regular charts. Sure, the pennies tend to move much faster, but our system works on the pennies just like the “big boys”.

But let me back up and explain what I mean by “penny stocks”.

I don’t actually trade stocks priced literally in pennies. I usually draw the line around 50 cents as the lowest priced shares I’ll ever go after. And even then, the chart better be darn good!

My Telechart Platinum “Super Scan” often turns up some of those shares priced less than a buck. A few days ago, my scan turned up CVM – Cel-Sci Corp. I thought it had a beautiful chart setup at around 80 cents. The very next day, it rocketed up to $1.73 – up almost 111% in just one day! Now you see why I’ll take a look at these little dynamos from time to time.

Here’s an interesting article I found about penny stock trading. The website looks intriguing too.

Hot Penny Stock Pick >> Micro Cap & Small Cap Stocks go UP & Down ... How can You Benefit?  by ProfitFromPennyStocks.com  

Trading penny stocks can be very profitable but you have to be careful. The stock market doesn't care if you are an experienced or a newbie stock trader. The rules and the trading opportunities are the same for every one at any time, so either you’re going to make money when you make a trade or you are going to lose some of it in favor of the more seasoned stock traders.

Stock Trading Books

Stock Trading Books – My Top Four Favorites

There’s an interesting survey question in the Telechart Platinum main ALL-TCNET chat room about stock trading books. Here it is:

“What are the BEST THREE market-related books you've ever read?”

Here is my personal response to that question:

Great question - and one that will benefit many investors and traders in the future! Here are my choices:

1) How To Make Money In Stocks by William J. O'Neil

This is the book that "did it for me" when I first got started in investing and trading. It made the most sense to me at the time. Not to mention I consistently made an average of 80% a year for five years straight right off the bat. Of course, that was the 1990's. And a little unknown stock called Cisco Systems bought at the "pivot point of the decade" - Oct. 1990 - sure helped. But I caught a few other "10-baggers" because of this book.

2) Profitable Candlestick Trading by Stephen W. Bigalow

Now, besides the fact that Steve is a personal friend of mine, this is just a great book! I have deep respect for Steve Nison, but Steve B.'s book has more practical candlestick trading knowledge, IMHO. Plus he made candlestick trading a LOT easier to learn!

3) How I Made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market by Nicholas Darvas

Great investors and traders today are successful because they stand "on the shoulders of giants" - those mega-traders of the past who basically only had price and volume to look at to make trading decisions. Nicholas Darvas is one of those giants that William J. O'Neil, Dan Zanger, and other great traders and investors of today are standing on the shoulders of.

Since all three of these books have already been mentioned, I'll throw in a different one that is also very intriguing:

4) The Right Stock At The Right Time by Larry Williams

Larry offers a fascinating look at how cycles have played out in the past, and how he made some pretty incredible predictions based on those cycles. Some of his predictions were quite contrary and pooh-poohed by the "mainstream" group of investors and traders at the time, but his amazing results speak for themselves.

Hope this helps lots of people improve their score in this incredibly fun (and lucrative!) game.

TheDaryl

That was the end of my post in the chat room survey, but I have one more thing to say about stock trading books in general.

I mentioned above the importance of “standing on the shoulders of giants”. There’s a key point I want to make here.

The point is how important it is to only pay attention to those who have actually done what they are purporting to teach others how to do. You’d be shocked at the number of investing and trading books written by authors…

Who Have Never Traded A Single Stock In Their Lives!

The William O’Neil’s, the Steve Bigalow’s, the Nicholas Darvas’s, and the Larry Williams’ of the world – they have indeed done what they are teaching you how to do. They have walked their talk. They have used their own, actual money - and have been bloodied and bruised in the process – in developing and refining their trading systems and philosophies in the real world – not in some classroom or laboratory. Or using some historical back-testing scheme.

Anyway, I highly recommend those four stock trading books listed above. They have helped me tremendously in becoming the success I am today. I am literally “standing on the shoulders of giants”.

Now, on to business.

The markets are off to a great start of the second quarter 2006!

Our stock for review today is OPTC – Optelecom Inc.

OPTC is breaking out of a high basing area off a little Bullish Kicker Gap – very strong!  It’s close to all-time highs – even those made in the year 2000 “melt-up”! And today’s trading volume is 733% above normal.

I recommend you “opt” for some OPTC. Your portfolio may inflate because of that addition!
