Since I have been doing it for 31 years, I recommend Every newbie read it and understand it. It is a quick read. TA tells you when the trend ends.

Buying and holding can get you in trouble even if you pick a "Good Company" if you pick it at the wrong time..... I would rather try to pick a stock that has started a move up and ride it until it turns..... The best way I know of doing that is to use TA..... If you like Moving Averages then try a 5-40 EMA Cross or even price crossing UP THROUGH it's 200 EMA..... For MACD lovers there is always the (13-34-89).... Dahl, DNS, InSync, they are all there for the asking.... It all depends on YOUR time periods..... Dave Evans

< Momentum stock picking is as easy as doing a screen for 52-week highs. Try that for a while and see how many times you get burned by over-extended stocks. I have the bruises to prove it. > Consider playing the short side. When a stock continues higher but volume begins to slack off and RSI and/or stochastics shows an overbought situation I look at a short play. It's even better if it's extended above the upper Bollinger band. For me, these are very short term trades, maybe a day to a week. Dave
