Stock Trading Strategies

I just did this video with Dave Skarica of AddictedtoProfits.net at his place in Eleuthera, Bahamas. I just spent the past few days there visiting with him, having a good time, and of course talking about the financial markets and what is going on. I see him once or twice a year and every time I do we can't help but talk about the markets.

In this video Dave talked about one trade he is recommending right now to his subscribers - shorting Japanese bonds.

I just did this podcast with Doc Severson of TradingConceptsInc.com.

Doc is an expert at options trading and we talked about how to trade options the right way. Most people just try to use options as a substitute for buying stocks and lose money because they don't factor in volatility and time decay.

I just did this podcast with Markus Heitkoetter of Rockwelltrading.com. In it we talked about daytrading, technical indicators, and Range Base trading strategies.

Markus is a top daytrader and teaches people his trading tactics on his website. He trades stocks, commodities, and forex.

I just did a podcast with Victor Riesco of www.globaltradingpad.com.

In the interview we talked about some recent trades Victor completed and his thoughts on the stock market now.

I just did a podcast with Mike "Tiny" Saul of www.stockmarkettrendsx.com.

In it we talked about how stocks react to earnings news and the current action in the stock market.

The Dogs of the Dow is an investment strategy that focuses on picking stable, high dividend stocks to maximize investment returns. According to the strategy, the investor buys ten Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) stocks with the highest dividend yields at the start of the year. The stock portfolio is then adjusted accordingly at the start of every year.

As an investor, you should know seasonal trends to better protect yourself from any unwanted risk exposure. Knowing that stocks act a certain way during the year is important because you may want to have more defensive protection from an unwanted drop. For example, October and September are, historically, the worst months for stocks. It doesn’t mean they are the worst months every single year, the seasonal trend is that these months could provide turbulence if you are not careful. Putting that aside, what is the January Effect? How does it affect the entire year?
