The best strategy for trading on stock market - PEG ratio

I’ve been a successful stock trader for over a decade now and thanks to the Internet my reputation has spread. I have a free email investment letter with over 50,000 subscribers in it and get questions from them all of the time.

Probably the most common question I get is what is the best strategy for trading on the stock market?

Well any strategy has got to incorporate some risk management principles and a real plan when it comes to making trading decisions.

Most people don’t do this though.

They just turn on the TV and buy when some hot news comes out or read a story in a magazine and get in what looks like a hot stock.

But when you make money like this it is just look and odds are you are going to end up losing money. Even if your stock goes up you won’t know what to do with it.

So first of all you need a good strategy when it comes to picking out stocks and making trades. Personally I’ve looked over decades of market data to figure out what chart patterns appear the most consistently before a stock goes up and then looked at the fundamentals that these stocks seem to have the most in common.

I call this combination the Two Fold Formula. I look for stocks that have both a low valuation and high earnings growth. Most growth investors ignore valuation and just look for price, but I’ve found that when you usually find your best winners when you look at both.
One of my favorite indicators to do this is the PEG ratio. Unlike the P/E ratio, which just looks at one years worth of earnings the PEG ratio takes the price of a stock and compares it to its projected earning growth for the next five years.

So by using the PEG ratio you can make buy decisions based upon the price you are paying for earnings growth.

This can give you a great list of the 50 hottest stocks to keep an eye on.

After that l look for a specific chart pattern and technical condition that I’ve also found to be common to the biggest winners.

To me this is the best strategy for making money in the stock market and I spell it all out for you free in my Two Fold Formula guide. You can get it when you join my free email list.

Hello. My name is Mike Swanson. I’m the best-selling author of the book Strategic Stock Trading. In a former life I used to run a hedge fund from 2003 to 2006 that generated a return of over 78% during that time frame. In fact it was ranked in the top 35 out of 5,000 hedge funds in 2005.

After I retired from the hedge fund world I setup this website and blog. If you sign up for my free weekly email list below I’ll send you an update on average about once a week on my views of the current stock market trends and share with you actionable investment ideas.

Now I cannot promise you that every stock I find will go up in value. I can’t promise you endless 100% returns as others claim they do and as all the disclaimers say past performance does not necessarily predict future performance and you can lose all of your money in the stock market.

This is reality.

What I can promise you is my dedication to doing the best I can for you.

You see the key to making money over the long-run in the stock market is to manage your risk. Once you sign up to my newsletter I’ll send you a series of educational videos and writings showing you how I use stop-loss orders to cut any potential losses and how I use my two fold formula system that combines fundamental and technical analysis to pick stocks. My goal is to risk one dollar to try to make at least three dollars in my trades by looking for stocks that are priced cheaply on a valuation basis, have high earnings growth, and have excellent chart patterns.

So join my list below and let me help guide you on your journey in the stock market.
