Proven methods for building profits even during times of increased volatility
In "Invest to Win," Toni Turner reveals her extraordinarily effective "Gainsmaster" investing method. With this book, you have everything you need to abandon the increasingly ineffective buy-and-hold strategy and start profiting consistently by foreseeing market drops, taking profits on certain portfolio assets, and applying rigorous risk-management techniques to those remaining.
Toni Turner is the President of TrendStar Group, Inc., and bestselling author of "A Beginner's Guide to Day Trading Online, A Beginner's Guide to Short Term Trading," and "Short-Term Trading in the New Stock Market." Gordon Scott is a Chartered Market Technician (CMT) who has coached hundreds of students on methods designed to improve their trading and investing activities.
The GainsMaster Approach helps investors define their strategy by watching certain signals in the market. Readers will learn how to evaluate market conditions. Choose either to seek opportunity based on the market or seek safety from bad market climate. The approach marks GO and STOP signs when you learn to read the company stock's price action compared to 12-Mo. moving averages. Learn to read market price graphs/charts, price volatility (fluctuations), and Dow Jones Utility Average. Combine these indicators to forge your GO or STOP decisions.
You'll also get inside tip on what financials to look for in picking company's stocks. How would you know if the company has been doing well? Look at its recent quarter earnings --is it trending higher each quarter? Then it is a buy. Other fundamentals like P/E ratio, revenue, average volume, and price affect your decision-making process.
The approach has a rough, aggressive tone that can be used in today's tough bear markets, but it is suited for short-tempered Wall Street daily traders that seek opportunities. Watch price action of company's stock and sell if it goes below a set percentage loss. So you may have to buy/sell at a higher turnover rate causing a lot of unnecessary fees. This book may not be for every investor. The approach sheds a different light from the usual "buy-and-hold" in normal market conditions.
although the book provide some strategies to help readers to identify the trend in the market and adjust his investments accordingly. I feel it is easier said than done to time the market using their approach.
