Submitted by Mike Swanson on Sat, 2010-01-30 10:29.

When it comes to buying value stock picks there are some things to be aware of. Now is the time to take advantage of getting higher quality stocks at reasonable prices. With the recent impacts to the stock market it is now recouping from the negative effects.

There is no better time than the present to get the best value on stocks. Check out companies that show promise. Small companies are on an uphill climb and seem to be bouncing back quickly. Beware though as they may have a lot of debt to deal with.

Researching potential companies to invest in is a smart thing to do. Check historical markers and financial projections. Some larger companies were hit hard and took tremendous losses. Find out why this may have happened before investing in them. A good understanding of charts and the definition of technical analysis will help you.

Reading the right financial paper and knowing how to read stock charts can provide insight into stocks and great strategies. One great tip is to invest in blue chips. Get them from a company that has no debt, and your investment will have the potential to skyrocket.

Sometimes it just feels good to play it safe. To let the stocks take their time as they grow with minimal risk. There are stocks called the Tortoise and the Hare. These are set up consisting of a list of twenty five safe and secure stock option investment companies.

Old strategies are generally the best of course. Buy low and sell high! Take it one step farther and when a good company is having a lull, buy cheap and get rich. Sound investment choices are those of a food or medicinal quality.

Buying value stocks is a good investment. It does not take a lot of money to get started. With the state of the market recently it is a prime opportunity to spend less and get more. Invest in companies with normally higher stock values now while prices are lower.

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.
