One Of The Best Stock Market Strategies!!

 

 

Fellow Investors & Traders,

Everyone wants to know the “secret” strategy to help pull more profits out of the stock market!

Well – there is really no “ONE” secret or “ONE” special strategy that works 100% of the time in the stock market! If you really want to make money from the stock market - it takes a combination of several different strategies of “buys” and “sells” to consistently make profits add up.

Over the years I have used several different strategies to take some profits from the stock market! “Buy and Hold”, Penny Stocks, 1 Day Trades, 2 - 10 Day Trades, all have been successful at one time or another.  As the stock market conditions change, you have to be flexible enough to change also and do something “different” to keep in line with the market trend.

As of this writing (January 2008) the stock market trend is mixed with sentiment on the cautious side and expectations for the first part of the year to move stock prices higher overall.

The overall economy is expected to do well this year, companies are reporting good earnings for the most part - and buying back their own company stock which shows they typically know more about the company’s future than most investors!

So, with that being said – here is “One Of The Best Stock Market Strategies” to use for pulling consistent profits out of the stock market!

I call it the “2 Weeks Before Earnings” Strategy!


This strategy is a simple approach to buying a position in a company several weeks (or 2-5 days in some cases)  before the company has one of the most important events of the year. “The Quarterly Earnings”! Which happens 4 times a year for most companies!

Want to test this strategy before you buy with real money?

Here is what you do to test this out!

Pick any major company stock (Here’s some example stocks - AA, APPL, BSC, CAL, CROX, CMI, DE, GOOG, GS, IBM, MA, MRK, MSFT, RIMM, SLHD, T, X).

Find out when the company is expected to report earnings.

1-2 weeks before the company is expected to report earnings, write down the stock price at that time (and the date) and decide how many shares you would have bought (Use 100 shares as a test) or (5 options if you are looking to buy the stock options)!

The day before the earnings news is expected to be announced - write down the stock price that you would have liked to take profits at - enter those figures into my stock price calculation program and see for yourself that this strategy works!

I use this strategy every month and have been consistently making profits just about every week!

Whether you are planning to buy “Stock Shares” or “Stock Options”, this strategy works for both!

Ultimately, it’s “All About Timing”!!! Planning to buy your investments (or quick trades) takes planning, effort and most of all “buying at the right time”! This strategy will give you a good advantage to capitalize on the “price movement” of anticipated upcoming events.

That’s why it’s “All About Timing”! If you get in position early before the stock price start to move higher, you will have the best advantage to take good profits whether the earnings news is good or bad!!

I buy the stock (or options) 1 - 2 weeks before the earnings news is expected, then 95% of the time I take my profits before the news is announced to lock in my profits and pocket those gains!

Sometimes I take a small RISK and keep a few shares (or options) if I think the stock price will continue to move higher after the earnings (as I did with APPL, ORCL, MSFT, and TXN in the past), most of the time I don’t.…and you shouldn’t either! That is the quickest way to lose all of your gains (and more)!

You will have to decide for yourself if you are willing to take that Risk! In some cases I lost a big chunk of money (and the profits), so that is why I do not hold the shares or options going into the earnings news very often!

Play it safe - take your profits when you have them - don’t get greedy or you will probably lose all of your money for sure!!!
