Should You Wait On Volume Before Buying A Stock? by Larry Potter
... But when the DOW moves 60 points and some individual stocks are going up at 2 bucks a clip, should we wait on volume to confirm it? Do so at your own peril. In 97 we never did a trade unless there was confirming volume. In 98 the volume was there anyway, just like in 99. But, since then, just about every roll higher has been on what one would call "low volume" and frankly I don't pay that awful much attention to it any more.

Yes You Can Trade Stocks and Options Like a Pro by Anatole Raif
... The target price is another parameter you set and is usually based either on a fundamental analysis of the stock to determine fair value or a technical analysis that uses charts to predict where the stock could ultimately move to before the momentum subsides.

As an example, if the stock market has a loss of 10% one year, and a 20% gain the next year, these zealots say that the average return for these two years is +5% (+.2-.1)/2). This is a mathematical failure to add.

... Moving averages, RSI, Stochastics. There are hundreds of them. Thousands of traders rely on these tools every day to help them make investment decisions. (And thousands of traders blow out their accounts each day, too.) What these traders probably don't realize is that if those tools were people, they would be dead by now.

How to Add Shares to a Profitable Position by Chris Perruna
... The support line is $50 but the stock went on to maintain the 50-day moving average as the true support line heading into 2006.

... 4) Family Visiting / Travel: Realize that more and more children move away when grown. So while they work out of state—YOU may need to do the traveling to see them. Plan for these costs. 5) Convalescent Care (nursing home costs) provincially run about $100/day median. You will need to multiply that times the same 4% inflation rate.

The Stock Exchange - A Beginners Guide by Stuart Langridge
... Investing is graphs, moving averages, annual reports, company statements, calculators and work. Not so sexy. It's kind of like being an accountant but with marginally more life and a few graphs.

If you are just starting out, think about YOU first, not the market or companies. Decide on what you want to specialise on, whether the ...
