  • I have received countless e-mails and phone calls from individuals who have been led astray by brokers, financial planners and others using buy-and-hold and dollar cost averaging. Stories abound of retirees having to go back to work just because someone told them that "the market can't go any lower" or "let's dollar cost average."

  • Dividends decrease the total value of a company. Dividends are kind of like tearing off a small chunk of the firm and giving it to investors. Here's a good rule of thumb to keep in mind. Mature companies hoarding cash without a dividend is not a particularly good sign; and a growth company paying large dividends is definitely a bad sign in most cases.

  • The advance from paper trading to real time is like night and day. The psychology is completely different once you have your own money on the line. The same goes for you Las Vegas shooters. With a paper and pen in hand watching the prices slide by is entirely different when those numbers represent you’re your money.

  • In the initial stages of a bull market, it's the fear of the unknown that keep the masses out of an asset class. They think to themselves, "Yes. I can see it's cheap. I can see the fundamentals stack up. But what if, blah blah blah. Why is no one buying it? There must be something wrong with it. Best to steer clear."

  • With that description of smart money, the next logical question to ask is, what are they looking at now? To answer that question, understand the time horizon they have in mind. They’re not looking at next week or next month like a trader would, nor so far out that it will take the rest of their life to realize a profit. The smart money is looking at the likely trends over the next few years.

  • Water may be held back by a dam, but if it breaks through the dam, you would know that it would continue downward until it reaches another dam, or some obstruction or resistance which would stop it. Therefore, it is very important to watch old levels of stocks or commodities. The longer the time that elapses between the breaking into new territory, the greater the move you can expect because the accumulative energy over a long period will naturally produce larger movements than if it only accumulated during a short period of time.

  • About 99% of people who buy stock think about how much it is going to go up. Very few ask their broker where to sell if it goes down. Furthermore when it does go up how do you take you profit? How do you protect that hummer if it has been bought at $10 and starts up steadily going to 40 or higher? Has your broker ever mentioned a trailing stop loss? Probably not. The same technique applies to mutual funds.

  • The concept of the "follow through day" (FTD) was introduced by William O'Neil in his book, "How to Make Money in Stocks" (HTMSS). Its purpose is to increase confidence in when a market correction has run its course. If a FTD occurs shortly after a downward trend reversal, then the likelihood that the upward trend will continue is supposed to be enhanced. Conversely, if a FTD does not occur, then the rally is supposedly more likely to fail.
