“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.”
George Bernard Shaw
The overarching objective of the Game Changers and Market Movers Forum is to help individual investors in their quest for wealth-building investment opportunities.
Please limit your contributions to economic, industry and company reports that portend the most promising investment opportunities. Use the name of this forum as a guide for your selection of articles.
Companies with disruptive or game changing products/services are competing in the market place every day. Therefore the question for all investors is “When should I take a position?”
There are two quotes that can be offered as an answer to that question. Both quotes come from Michael Covel’s book Trend Following.
“ . . . if a trend fails to develop after you buy, you will not be able to sell at higher prices.”
“The best 5% performing stocks, in any given year, are responsible for a large portion of market gain.”
Here’s the challenge for all investors.
There never has been an information source that predicts which stocks will rank among the top 5% performing stocks.
However, in normal markets most of those top 5% performing stocks will share one important performance characteristic – they will develop clear upward trends.
So, aside from relying on luck, intuition or hot tips how can an average individual investor determine when an upward trend has emerged?
Two answers can be offered for that question. The first is to read Covel’s book. The second is to visit uvmetrics.com.
This forum will help investors to decide which stocks represent the most attractive investment opportunities.
The Covel book and UV Metrics will help them to decide when to make an investment. |
