Investing Akido - Part One

"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
