Morning KG Re Beas There is a saying that one cannot time the market. That was probably invented by a broker out to convince the public that you are no good at it and you should leave it to him, the expert, to properly invest your funds Timing is everything in this market and must be done to prosper I am convinced that the best results by a trader is to back up the truck, load it with one or two good stocks and drive off into the sunset then sell it before it spoils- which requires timing But without a prime stock to concentrate on, its difficult for the thread to agree on what to work with If I merely handled the stocks i already own properly there is plenty of profit available. Two years of steady daily trading and I see gradual improvement Trade the Dell channel, sell calls when its high Follow stocks that can move up without getting smashed back down like qcom for example BEAS seems to be a good one , despite being taken down for the Fridays options period -it did not seem to hit a solid ceiling yet I loaded the truck with Tsco which did not get taken down too bad, kind of sat around for 6 months And blew away the estimates last night. You can see the story behind TSCO in relation to its price. Tsco bought a bankrupt chain of 314 stores Which produced an uncertain result in investment required, in restocking and management change etc So the stock flattened out drifted down . Then came the supposedly poor Christmas season and who would think a little known store would do well. It turns out they sell dog-houses, dog-food, stoves, and winter clothes which sold like hot-cakes. And their margins increased, which was not to be expected when they integrated nearly 100 new stores Management seems to be outstanding and cost concious to do that job properly Sig
