www.guerillastocktrading.com Being a technical analyst, occasionally you see things that you question why have more stock traders not seen or considered this? For example, Fed Ex. Fed Ex is a impressive future price forecaster for the S&P 500 and really the whole US economy. In October of 2007, Fed Ex plummeted and did a cross under the S&P 500. That move down led the S&P 500 by 2 months. In other terms, Fed Ex predicted the nose-dive in the S&P 500 by 9 weeks. In this episode, I study 8 years worth of data on both Fed Ex and the S&P 500 to show you the relationship involving both of these stock charts. The stock charts illustrate that when Fed Ex is above the S&P 500 and leading higher, it offers a very bullish signal not only for the S&P 500 but the entire US economy. Whilst the S&P 500 is above Fed Ex and Fed Ex is leading lower, this gives a extremely bearish signal for stocks. Looking at June of 2009, Fed Ex started leading the S&P 500 higher. What is very interesting is that when Fed Ex leads the S&P 500 by a sufficient amount to create a good gap, it is yet more bullish for the stock market. Hence you can measure the gap between Fed Ex and the S&P 500 to assess bullish outlook of stock traders as well as current health of the US economy. The gap between Fed Ex and the S&P 500 narrowed at the first part of April 2010 before the Euro crisis hit mainstream news and the S&P 500 plummeted 2 weeks later. In June of 2010, once again, Fed Ex started to gap ahead of the S&P …

www.guerillastocktrading.com There were so many mistakes that I made along the way to losing everything. Clearly I was quite depressed about how much I had lost. What made it even more sad was that it was my entire nest egg. That money was everything to me. It was all my hopes and dreams, particularly when you compound this amount at some 4% or 5% for maybe 40 to 50 years ahead of me. I sat down long and hard, reviewed all of my errors, and tried to understand my stock trading and investing lessons. My wife asked why I was doing it at all, waking up at 6:00am PST for so many mornings to trade stocks, reading hundreds of books about stock trading, and yet I had zilch to show for it, but a large hole in the pocket and heart. It was a powerful question, and I had an uncommon answer. My answer was “I prefer to lose it all now in my thirties, rather than losing it all in my fifties. Provided I be taught my lessons early, I would not make the same gigantic errors much later. These days, I’m trading and investing some 000. One day, I hope to be managing and investing one million dollars. I can afford to lose 000 in my thirties, but I will not be able to afford to lose even 20% of a million dollars later in life.” Right, I was in grief from my deep loss. But I was so unwavering in continuing my stock trading and investing, and I was sure that one day I would be managing a much larger amount. Because I knew I would be investing for the next 30 years or more, the earlier I …
www.guerillastocktrading.com Whilst we’ve been kept awake at night wetting our sushi pajamas for horror of losing trades and jumping off our abode, nearly all losing trades come from misconceptions born inside our brains. This is how the majority of losing trades go down: 1 – Double down. Whatever moron came up with this idea had to be a chap with a lot of money. The earliest hypothesis of doubling down must have come from some intoxicated well-off chap in Las Vegas playing at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. The hypothesis of doubling down is straightforward, if a stock you are hanging on to falls 20% in value, acquire double what you first bought. Over time, as poverty-stricken common folk got their hands on the theory, it changed into averaging down, meaning purchasing any extra amount of a stock that you are hanging on to when it drops 15 % or more. Villainous stock trader Nick Leeson perfected the skill of averaging down into losing trades, or so he thought. This double down stock trading mastermind caused the collapse of Barings Bank, United Kingdom’s oldest investment bank, for which he was sent to jail. Never fling good money after bad. Never risk more than you are seeking to gain. 2 – Value investing. This strategy must be the brain spawn of wicked institutional traders who hope the stupid common folk will help them in dumping their longs in a down trending stock market. The idea of value investing is straightforward, look at the P/E ratio. If the average P/E …
www.guerillastocktrading.com I have got oodles of interest on my pair trading article and the play I entered in both Apple and Research In Motion. I went long Apple and short Research In Motion. The approach of matching a long position with a short position in two stocks of the same sector is called pair trading. This forms a hedge against the sector and the general market that the two stocks are in. The hedge created is essentially a gamble that you are placing on the two stocks; the stock you are long in against the stock you are short in. As its name suggests, a pair trading line of attack is a double-pronged method, where two apparently unrelated option or stock positions are opened simultaneously. The tactic can give somewhat of a safety net to defend against an unexpected move in a certain sector, while capitalizing on a specific equity’s relative-strength backdrop. In effect, a pair trader hedges his or her bets, opening positions in two interrelated equities or indexes and working them against one another, choosing 1 call (bullish) position and 1 put (bearish) position. The duo of positions then collectively gives money-making returns amid a number of outcomes. For instance, I had a great point of view regarding Apple, but a pessimistic sentiment concerning Research In Motion. I went long on Apple whereas I shorted Research In Motion. I also had an uneasy sentiment concerning the entire technology sector. By taking a short position in Research In Motion, it …
www.guerillastocktrading.com Possibly the most well-liked intraday trading method practiced by professional stock traders is the Opening Range Breakout. Ever since its beginning, the Opening Range Breakout has mutated into a number of different strategies. We are going to define our Opening Range as the initial 30 minutes of stock trading. At the thirty minute mark, we will draw a line on our stock chart or make a yellow sticky of the highest price and lowest price during this 30 minutes. Therefore the essential basis of defining the Opening Range is that your predisposition for trading the underlying stock will be determined by where the stock is trading in relation to the Opening Range. As long as the stock or market trades within the Opening Range, it is trend neutral and does not furnish either a buy or sell signal. If the stock breaks above the high of the Opening Range don’t do anything yet. You must have a close above this range on a 5 minute chart. Provided you see a 5 minute candle breaking above the Opening Range, the next signal you need is confirmation. You need one more 5 minute bar closing above the range to confirm the breakout. Provided the stock drops below the low of the Opening Range, do not do anything. You need a 5 minute candle breaking below and you must have an added candlestick for confirmation just like a break above. The stock trading above its opening range has a bullish bias, and a stock trading below its opening range has a bearish bias …
www.guerillastocktrading.com Hi my fellow stock trading masters. We might be at the start of another strong bull rally. Come again? What MaryJane am I smoking to say that with so many people being without a job, banks being closed down, and home building taking a double decline to the downside? Great question. It does look ridiculous if you are a one-dimensional creature living in the here and now. But you are bigger than that. You were created the capacity to envision yourself trading in the future. That higher level of thinking is something that makes you different from other animals and living organisms that can merely live in the present. While I confess it’s not as great as Stephen Hawking time travel, it is capable of making you a huge amount of cash. One of the most tricky lessons for newbie investors to grab is that the stock market is the future of economy anywhere from 4 to 9 months. In other terminology, all the price action taking place on the stock market today is a bet on the place we imagine the economy will be 9 months from now. The stock market is yelling at us that in 9 months from the present, the unemployment rate will be lower, banks will no longer be failing, and housing construction will go back up. The earnings season we just finished confirmed that with 71 % of all corporations posting earnings increases from the second quarter of 2009. Last week I talked regarding how, with the downtrend channel breakout, we don’t know what new channel or chart …
