Stock Trading Update: Panic Selling On Tuesday Follows Greek Debt Crisis - Mike Swanson (04/28/10)

On Tuesday the DOW fell over 200 points as more bad news came out about the Greek debt crisis on lopsided selling volume. Standard and Poors downgraded the debt of Greece and Portugal. There is now talk that the countries may default on their debts.

This morning the UK Telegraph is reporting that the crisis may get to a point where the European Union Bank may simply print money to pay off their debts, much like the way the Federal Reserve bailed out the US banking system in 2008.

They are calling this a "nuclear option."

However, extreme selling like we saw yesterday almost always leads to a bottom in the stock market as I point out in this video below:

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.
