“Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!”?

Unless you were already a sophisticated investor, I’m sure you suffered
some significant losses last year and I’m sure you’ve asked yourself: “what
could have I done and what can I do to avoid such a disaster if it happens
again?” Like most people you find yourself dependent on your financial
adviser who himself is dependent on the mutual funds he promotes.

Let me tell you what I think of mutual funds:

With more than 9,000 stocks to pick from, just how much is just too much?

I talk to so many investors/traders each day that tell me about their
particular “10 positions,” “20 positions,” “50 positions,” and even “100
positions.”

I get so irritated!

Come on, man, think it over!

Mutual funds have hundreds of positions. Their hope is to be diversified.

If the market rises then they might make 2-3%.
If the market goes up big then they can make 5-6%.
If the market decreases then the funds is going to be down 2-3%.
If the market crashes  then the funds will probably be down 5-6%.
If they break even then you just paid 1000s of dollars to have your
money do nothing at all.

This scenario used to seem sensible simply because, in the past, the market
has
constantly increased.

However, the stock market has evolved.

Computer trading currently makes up a tremendously large part of the
average daily trades.

2008 demonstrated that a decade could be wiped out in months.

The “fat finger” of 2010 demonstrated that many years may very well be
wiped out in minutes.

“Safe” became the new “Not really Safe.”

So, what do I think of mutual funds?

I do think they make sense for less than 20% of your savings and only if
you
can give them at the very least 10 years to run their course.

I think you may then take some risk capital and look to make a good
years % return for a mutual fund in a single trade.

You heard right, when you learn how to trade for yourself, it’s attainable
to
make 5-6% or more on a single trade.

Hype?

No.

As an example, last year my VIP portfolio members returned an average of
5,8% per trade and the average time to reach this yield was less than 2
months. So you see, I’m not saying you can make 5-6 % per year here. I’m,
saying you can make 5-6% per trade, in average since some will actually
lose money.

(if anybody tells you he/she doesn’t have any losing trades, run the other
way!)

The key to it all…

A Strong  Focus On Individual Stocks.

By channeling 2-3 stocks properly you can trade in your own world where
you
really rely on the individual stocks instead of the market as a whole.

The more stocks you trade, the more you are trying to play the market as a
whole.

The less stocks you play, the more control you possess.

I observed a savvy student begin with $5,000 and turn it into $55K in
months by trading stocks in one sector.

Oftentimes, less really is more.

If I had to own 100 stocks for 10 years – I would just as soon have
somebody else take care of my money. At least then I would have somebody to
yell at!

But I don’t have to own one hundred stocks so I rely on myself personally.

I want to teach you how to rely on yourself now.

It begins by creating a good workable stocks to watch list, moves through
entry points and exit points and ends with you coming out on the other
side – in control.

P.S. This Is Not Your Average Stock Market Experience.

However, before you put in all your life savings into buying stocks from a supposedly hot company (thanks to a tip from your brother-in-law), pause for a bit. Read the 5 top stock tips below that every newbie investor should consider. This can mean the difference between turning up a profit and living in the dog house a few months down the road.

Beginner’s Guide to Investing Tip #1: Get help from a full-service stock broker.

You’re new to investing so you basically have zero knowledge. If you know something about investing, it’s probably very minimal. Unless you’ve got a lot of dough to burn, you want to have a full-service stock broker by your side when you start investing. Sure, you feel confident enough of your investing and stock buying knowledge, but think of a professional stock broker as a lifeline. He can help you make the right investing decisions. A professional stock broker can also be your sounding board; you can tell him about any major financial decisions you’re considering and see what he thinks of it. Basically, a professional stock broker can be your friend from inside the world of investing. He can give you really good stock tips so you can make better investment decisions.

Beginner’s Guide to Investing Tip #2: Learn as much as you can about investing.

Even with a full-service stock broker by your side, it’s still recommended that you try to learn as much as you can about investing. If you’re leaning towards growing your portfolio by investing in stocks and bonds, learn as much as you can about trading stocks and bonds. If you’ve got your eye on a company stock you think will turn up a profit for you, find out more about the company and its track record in stocks. You may have a good gut feeling about a company, but it’s wise to couple that with some research so that you can make your decision based on facts. Don’t be content with simply sitting in the sidelines and letting your stock broker do all the work for you; learn about investing and know how you can invest your money better.

Beginner’s Guide to Investing Tip #3: Develop patience.

If you’re impatient by nature, try to develop patience because you’ll need it when you enter the world of investing. Understand that majority of investments don’t pay off right away. Don’t expect to turn a profit a week after investing on a company; it doesn’t happen that way. You’ll find out quickly enough that you’ll be losing money in some investments in the beginning. Know that this is actually natural; it takes a month, six months or even 12 months before you can see a profit from your investments. Just because the stock you just bought the other week loses a few pennies today doesn’t mean you should sell and get out.

Beginner’s Guide to Investing Tip #4: Curb your impulsive tendency.

Aside from patience, you have to also tame your impulse. You’ll come across hot stock tips that are going to be profit makers for you. There’s nothing wrong by investing on them occasionally. However, if you hop from one hot investment to the next every third day, that isn’t a sound way to invest at all.

Beginner’s Guide to Investing Tip #5: Don’t get too obsessed with investing.

Don’t end up obsessing over your investments that you hardly spend any time to relax, spend time with your family and basically enjoy life. Make those investment decisions now and then. Keep tabs on what’s going on in the investment world, but don’t doggedly follow them for most of your waking hours. Your investments are important since it’s your financial future at stake, but practice moderation; your investment portfolio isn’t and shouldn’t be the center of your life.
