Jay please Update the New Investor summary URL to the last on I post ... I have changed it as I discover things. Also people get so upset when a stock does not fly. Dynamics of investors: 1.) Some will sell when the price goes up, BTS or DTS. 2.) Some will arbitrage if the spread gets to an advantage point. 3.) Some will short. 4.) Some will buy for a 20% - whatever gain. 5.) Some will accumulate for a long term investment Dynamics for a strong portflio: 1.) Never have all your eggs in one basket 2.) Understand the potential and believe in the future of that potential 3.) Convince yourself and not someone convincing you. 4.) Establish a portfolio plan of longs, BTS and some reserve of DTS 5.) Evalute using FA (fundamental Analysis, TA (Technical Analysis), Charting, Trading logs, Public Recognition, etc.etc.etc. Dynamics of research: 1.) Be responsible for your own decisions 2.) Learn from your mistakes expecially costly one 3.) Question everything be skeptical 4.) Verify and clarify everything you can 5.) Above all use common sense Pitfalls: 1.) SEC filings typically are 90 days after the fact. 2.) There is always someone naysaying the stock for a reason. 3.) There is always someone touting the stock for a reason. 4.) Start up companies sell stock to gain working capital. 5.) There is always emotional investors that panic. Volume: 1.) Volume is a composite positive (buying) and negative (Shorting & selling) . 2.) At any point the negative out weighs the positive the price goes down. 3.) Anytime the negative equates to the positive the price is stalled. 4.) Anytime the positive out weights the negative the price goes up. 5.) Market Markers can see all transactions coming at them both positive and negative. If you buy 10,000 shares and sell them the same day there is a nullification in the volume however 20,000 shows up on the daily volume. By dropping the price on small volume market makers shake out shares and play on the emotions of the investors. Nothing but keeping the market liquid. Opinions vary ... Everyone is a business major with years of experience, trading knowledge, or savvy wisdom. Sounds like a stacked deck doesn't it. LOL GB
