Suggest You - Buy-And-Hold? It Works If You Have 40 Years Or So
In my book Talking Points: 25 Tips for Clear, Credible Communication, Tip #17 states: “Managers and professionals in positions of responsibility got there by finding solutions to problems. They didn’t rely on someone else to come up with the remedy. They worked to find solutions proactively.” Those of us in positions of responsibility can demonstrate our management fitness by looking for and adding a proactive step whenever we encounter potential problems. Adding that proactive step demonstrates our
The "Trading Edge"
Without a crystal ball, you can't know the future direction of stock prices with any amount of certainty, regardless of whether you use fundamental or technical analysis.
However, once you recognize the market prices are the result of thousands of investors who "believe" they know the direction prices are going to take, you have the "key" to beating the markets.
Knowing that prices are
In 1995, when Pierre Omidyar introduced an online business venue that was essentially a virtual garage sale with auction pricing, no one knew a retailing revolution was about to occur. That site became known as eBay, and it's hard to find someone today who hasn't at least heard about the popular online auction company.What's important to understand from the start is that eBay is a sales channel that you can use exclusively or in addition to selling through a retail operation, mail order catal
It is hard to change old beliefs. I often wonder if those who teach such strategies have their own money invested according to their teachings.
"Buy-And-Hold" In The 90s
Most people invested using the buy-and-hold strategy in the 1990s, and as we all know, they lost a bundle when the dot-com bubble burst and we entered the 2000-2002 bear market with losses of 50% to 80%.
Many investment professionals now admit that stock prices are based on the beliefs of the masses. Assets of a company may play a role in the stock price, but the bulk of the price is influenced by popular opinion.
It's hard for many new market timers to accept the idea that prices are based on beliefs of the masses and little more.
But in the acceptance of this truth lies the path to profits.
"Buy-And-Hold" In The 70s
Have you ever talked to people who traded stocks in the 1970s? Many will tell you, "I learned my lesson a long time ago. I put my money in the markets and lost it. Never again."
In the 1970s, just about all investors used a buy-and-hold strategy.
They searched for "undervalued" stocks, purchased shares, held them, and waited for them to increase in value.
Sometimes it worked, but many times it didn't. And even when it did work, profits weren't anything near what an active, market timer or trader can make.
The buy-and-hold strategy misleads investors. The markets don't go in one direction forever, whether the trend is bullish or bearish.
Only by trading the ups and downs of the market can you make significant profits. If you are striving to become a profitable market timer, it is vital that you cast aside the buy-and-hold mindset of the long-term investor, and learn to "think" like a market timer.

You knew at some point we’d have to use the “B” word. That dreaded word that rhymes with “fudge-it”. Unfortunately, in order for you to successfully bury the debt monster and regain (or create!) financial independence, it’s necessary that you don’t fudge your budget.Budget’s have gotten a bad rep because some people make them more complicated than they need to be, but there’s no reason to lie here: having to account for your money is no where near as fun as spending it on anything whenever

After my third attempt to de-code the phone number from my voice mail … I gave up. Seems Frank Janson … Johnson … Jorson or something like that from some company in Mauzoula or Missouri wants me to call him back. His number is 636-6 something, four, 36 or maybe it’s 3 zero then 6, 8 then something. Whatever! Point is, I’m not calling him back. And if he ever does get a hold of me, I’ll be less than enthusiastic about dealing with him since he’s already wasted my time and caused me a fair amount of

My husband and I have an adorable 27-month-old toddler I'll call M. We also have three wonderful cats, whom I'll call GC (gray cat), BC (black cat) and BWC (black and white cat). We brought home BC first, followed a few months later by BWC and GC, all adopted as adults from a shelter. As is common with felines, our kitties enforced their own hierarchy, with BC on top, then BWC, then GC. GC always waited patiently for the others to finish eating before chowing down. She relinquished any petting

Long long ago, it was the time when time itself stood still That was the time this story of story telling began When everyone listened to the story and people learned And that was the time people were also very happy Because they were listening to a story.Stories have been the purveyor of knowledge from time immemorial. Much before the advent of writing and publishing story telling was used as a means of communicating essential knowledge and preserve it for the fut

However, once you recognize the market prices are the result of thousands of investors who "believe" they know the direction prices are going to take, you have the "key" to beating the markets.
Knowing that prices are based on the beliefs of the masses is your "trading edge."
If you look at any long term chart of the financial markets, you will see that "most" of the time, the markets are moving up or down in trends that last many months, and sometimes years.
These "trends" reflect the "beliefs" of all those investors. And those "beliefs" are controlled by the "emotions" of fear and greed.
While prices are rising, the majority of investors "believe" they will "continue" to rise.
While prices are "falling" the majority of investors "believe" they will "continue" to fall.
Because emotions are involved, you will see more investors buying near tops and pushing prices higher than anyone expected they would go.
And of course, because emotions are involved, you will also see more investors selling near bottoms, pushing prices lower than anyone expected they would go.
This has been going on since the beginning of free market trading.
Conclusion
FibTimer uses that "trading edge." We know that the "masses" will push the financial markets in big up and down moves. Not all the time, but most of the time. That "trading edge" is our key to profits.
FibTimer does not try to "predict" where the market is going. We trade market "trends." Those very same trends that are created by the masses of investors who are buying into rallies and selling into declines.
We also know that trends will last longer than most expect and that is why we stay "with" the trend all the way.
Over time, the "knowledge" that the masses will push the markets up and down in huge trends, and trading those trends, results in huge profits.
