Slow Drip Market - Mike Swanson (07/10/09)

I have been traveling the past few days and am at a Mark Skousen Investment Conference in Las Vegas. Had a few drinks with Chris Ruddy the CEO of Newsmax.com, one of the nets biggest sites in terms of traffic last night. Saw Charlie "rumormonger" Gaspirino of CNBC and Peter Schiff too. Going to go to a lunch with billionaire Steve Forbes today. Well think he's a billionaire.

Market Futures Up Big This AM - Mike Swanson (01/28/09)

First off airline stocks dipped yesterday and I got a flood of emails from people saying should they sell? Should they buy? Should they double down etc.

I cannot tell you individually what to do. I'm not a registered investment advisor and can only give advice very generally - that applies to me and everyone else so it can't be tailored to your own personal situation.

WSW Power Investor - Market Monitor (9/24/07)

The price action in the DOW and S&P 500 is a little similar to what we saw in the Chinese stock market this past summer. The Chinese market is in a bubble rally and people have been trying to call an end to it. Back in the summer it looked a little toppy as it had a sharp 12%+ correction in May and June. It then went sideways and broke out in July.

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.
