Investing Akido - Part One by Anthony Merizzi "What's the biggest challenge to earning money in the stock markets?" According to a recent survey of hundreds of new and experienced traders, it's simply this: How can you earn consistently, even predictably...month after month? It seems that the average investor takes a somewhat scattered approach, which also tends to scatter their profits. Some people hear the news of a stock that's 'just about to expode', and rush to get their money into it before it's too late. Or, even more often, they just watch to see if the news comes true. They stay 'on the sidelines', unsure whether to move or wait. Unsure how to make a decision. And out of the profits, too. Sometimes, after seeing too many opportunities pass by, you might get so impatient or anxious that you take a chance on the next one that comes up. Certain that your time has come. And, it may work for you. But without proper research or guidance on your decision, it may be more like a gamble than an informed decision. Again, where do the profits go? Here's a thought... "Amateur Investors have the advantage over professionals in their ability to move in and out of the Stock Market quickly..." (Peter Lynch said that) Still others, who may spend time and energy researching their choices, may even put their money into a 'good stock' (I'm not sure what that one means...). But then, they leave their choice, no matter what happens. The problem with that happens when they leave it so long that they see their profits build, then fall again. The normal ebb and flow of the economic markets can do that. So the question often becomes something like "How long should I hold a stock? How long is too long?" Common questions, all of them. And I've asked them plenty of times too. Finally, after trying a few different methods that promised success and even a profitable source of income from stock market trading, I've discovered a way for all of this to make sense. Basically, the approach is a lot like the martial art of akido, where you use existing momentum to provide the energy to win. Once I'd actually learned how, I started off by earning over 18.3% during my first trading month. That was a good month, sure! I've seen that go up and down since then, and have finally learned to see more 'ups'. If you'd like a look inside my actual results, and the strategies used to get them, drop me a line here. I'll send you occasional updates on my actual results. They won't come every day, but usually at least once a week. So rest assured, you won't be overloaded. But you may just get inspired... One of the significant discoveries I made was that everyone has... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I've run out of space for this article. Click here to continue reading Part Two.
