It has been over a week since my last post. I went short with my holdings with a 3% stop loss. It hit the stop loss and continued to go up further. I am now all cash since then and I do believe that the market is going to go according to what the government does Sunday and the rest of the week. I have to tell you that the market definitely doesn’t react like everyone thinks it should. With countries basically broke and states basically broke, it is amazing that it keeps going higher. But, there are some fantastic opportunities out there for bears and bulls alike. But wait, there’s more
The time has come for me to sell everything short. I know we are all trained like good sheep to keep investing in the long run. That is all fine and dandy if you don’t want to maximize your profits. Unfortunately, I do! So, I am making my portfolio at this time totally short. In other words, let the market drop.
For those that know me, I have been in this business for nearly two decades and nothing surprises me more than watching people tell me the market is going to drop for the next 6 months and then watching those same people not sell their stocks and lose 10% of everything when they could of made 10%. For example…$300,000 is now $270,000 if you hold. OR…$300,000 is now $330,000 is sell short. That is a difference of $60,000!!! And when you are feeling confident the market is ready to stabilize, you can jump back into your long positions and ride the wave back up giving you the following results. That $270,000 goes back to $300,000 and the $330,000 turns into $367,000. So even though the market will “rebound” back to original levels, there is no reason we shouldn’t profit on the wave it created to get there.
Keep in mind though, if the market doesn’t drop, you are in DEEP trouble. But, I am putting ALL my capital behind this. So we will see what happens. If you would like to see my biggest holdings, check out the article before this.
Now many of you know that I make a very nice living online. I have been asked numerous times to lend a helping hand to those trying to do the same. This is that “helping hand” that you all have been waiting for. It is brand new TODAY and it could literally have you working online reaping tons of cash in no time. It is very interesting to say the least…so jump on it and change your life for the better.

P.S. I am thinking about having a very detailed service that offers buys and sells for the ordinary investor. I am trying to get feedback from my readers as to what you think. It would tell you exactly what to buy and what to sell. It would be based on value plays and of course, I would be buying each and every selection. I ALWAYS would back my selections with my own money. Please let me know what would make it worth it for you to sign up. It would be a reurring fee every month of around $35-$60 a month. Far cheaper than the $400 a month I charged when I was in “the business”. Please let me know.
I have decided to buy quite a few short positions today after the very nice rebound. I am not going to spend much time getting into the reasons, but rest assured that I have no more invested on the short side then the long.
These are the positions I opened with around equal amounts:
Short Apple (AAPL $332.42)
Short Cisco (CSCO $15.08)
Short Electronic Arts (ERTS $21.195)
Short Textron (TXT $21.64)
Short Intel (INTC $21.82)
Bought funds that are inverse of the long…In other words, if the market drops, these make me money.
DXD $18.19
SH $42.05
TWM $45.65
At this point I am now bearish. I fully expected and have been waiting for a bounce like today to start my short selling. The S&P has only gone 6 weeks in row down 5-6 times since 92′ so this bounce was needed. But here is where I am hoping the next 5-10% sheds from the market. Take a look here and this will show you exactly what to buy and when to sell. It is the all in one way to help you make the best decisions you can make. Let’s face it, nothing will get better in your life until you decide to do something about it. CLICK HERE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
It looks like the bears are running 5 straight weeks now and it could easily be 10. Let’s face it, we were screaming for a short term correction and I fully feel this is it. This run has been a historical one and now it has met its demise. But what can we do to cash in?
For all those writing me about some more short sales, this is what you have been waiting for. I pride myself in being able to not only select great value stocks, but also shorting those companies that are taking on way to much risk. And today, I am releasing 3 shorts that I think will help keep the portfolio well diversified in case of long term bearish action. And those that have been faithfully following my write-ups, remember my last short of “ZIP” which is now trading at $22.62…HUGE GAINS for us.
MY FIRST SHORT is in the video game field. Take Two Interactive Software (TTWO $16.17). This company has had quite a beautiful run over the last few months setting it up for a little pullback. The P/E is trading at a ridiculous 27.96 for a company that doesn’t have anything fantastic in the pipeline. I feel that the stock should be around $9-$11 a share thus giving us a nice little profit.
PICK TWO is Callaway Golf Co. (ELY $6.40) which I was once long on. They have done practically nothing to better their outlooks for the future. Their earnings per share are at a dismal -.58 a share. The total year outlook is very bad and if the economy slows down at all, I am guessing this company is going to struggle even more than it is now. We could be looking at a sub $5 share price in a matter of months.
PICK NUMBER 3 is a company that is my FAVORITE. Sears (SHLD $66.89) is not making a profit and in taking on with Kmart a few years back, they are losing even more money. Stores like Target and Kohls are growing like wild and cutting deeper into traditional Sear’s sales thus hurting future outlook. I see this company in serious trouble in the next 3-5 years.
Now I had a ton of people looking to make a living at home with the stock market. If you haven’t jumped on this, you are missing the boat. It is what you need when buying and selling to not just make a profit, but to make enough to change your life. It gives you exact stocks to sell and which ones to buy AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHEN TO DO IT! Take a look here and make the financial move to quit that boring 9-5 job. It is time we all enjoy life. CLICK HERE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Plain and simple, I see a very good buying period upon us. The media is in full swing bringing up all the terrible things that COULD happen. The fact is that the governments of this world will not let another major correction happen. They are keeping interest payments at near record lows and pumping trillions of dollars into the worldwide economy. That is why I am going to cash in with this stock. But wait, there’s more
Hi everyone,
I found that with the market falling for 3 straight weeks and a major drop today, things were right to add a little bit to my portfolio. I am not doing major write up for this post. I just wanted everyone to know that I was making a move today and what that move was. So I added the following stocks:
JNJ (Johnson and Johnson) $65.20
DIS (Disney) $41.11
FLO (Flowers Food) $31.70
MA (Mastercard) $272.11
I bought identical cash amounts each and plan on adding 5 other stocks in the next few days or weeks depending on market conditions.
This link will take you to what I consider a fantastic opportunity and a great read. It can make taking care of your portfolio that much easier. If you haven’t read about this, you are missing a fantastic, out of the box, idea.
Do you know what your credit score is? Do you even realize how important it really is? In today’s financial world, your credit score is like your personality. People and businesses will judge you based on it. Is it an 800? If so, don’t ever worry about getting a loan…they will literally beg you to borrow from them. Is it a 600? Then don’t expect a lot of help from the banks. It will be you begging for the loan. Before reading any further, do you even know your credit score? Check out the end of this write up for information on how to get it for free.
Let’s start with the range of credit scores so you fully understand where you are. A true credit score ranges from 350 to a perfect score of 850. It is very rare to see one extreme or the other. If you are one of the very wise and punctual borrowers, then you may have a 750 score or higher. These scores are considered excellent in the eyes of lenders. These are the people who have banks begging for their business.
If you have a 720 up to a 749, then your are considered fair. This is not a bad thing because you still qualify for all the regular interest rates you see advertised. For example…you would pay the going rate for a 30 year fixed mortgage. There is some room though for you to get up to 750 and the best rates available.
Now if you are in the 620 – 719 range, you are considered a fair person to lend to but you are looking at increased cost and higher interest rates. You are also going to have a bit more trouble getting your loan to begin with. With banks not being as eager to lend to everyone like they did in 2006, you are going to have to work to get your loan.
If you are below 620, you are considered a very high risk. It doesn’t mean you will not get loans, but they will most likely have much higher interest rates and costs associated with them. The good news for those in this category is that you can still buy a home. If your credit score is over 550, you qualify for a F.H.A. home loan. I would suggest going to our credit score tips page on the main website to get your score higher though.
The world of business is changing and the importance of that credit score is as well. It is high time you treat it like it deserves to be treated. It arguably is the most important aspect of your financial well being. Good luck and don’t be afraid to comment below. We are here to help. And for those of you that don’t know your credit score, there is no way to get a “free” one no matter what any company says. What I found to be the best way is to try this site’s free trial. They then give you a free credit score with the trial period stuff. If you cancel within a week, you pay absolutely nothing and then have your score. So cancel online if you want or keep it if you want. Either way, you have your “free” credit score and now can accurately account for what is going on in your credit report.
Well, we are on fire with our picks like usual. You will see a few people out there trying to sprout off that they can do just as well as us. (We should find it flattering that they are trying to imitate us.) The problem with that is that we show our picks for free and right when we make them…THEY DON’T! Our results are GENUINE and not fabricated as the other guys seem to think it is okay to do. If you want to believe all those SCAMMERS, go right ahead. But, if you want solid value plays that are going to decrease risk while taking advantage of long term appreciation, then keep reading. We are the real deal folks…AND…they probably never even passed the series 7 exam!!! (I DID ON THE FIRST TRY!) But wait, there’s more
It is funny what is going on in the market right now. The experts said that the dow would not go much above 11,000. They were wrong…AGAIN! We knew that there was bigger forces at work with government money flowing to bolster the share prices. Now the question is…what is next?
General Motors (GM $31.07) is at a cross roads for their share price. There is a lockout period coming up next week that the government is waiting for before selling their shares. This lockout period is when the large shareholders such as pension funds cannot sell GM stock for a certain amount of time. This gives the government an orderly way of disposing of their ownership without everyone flooding the market. The earliest the government is going to sell their shares is August. So we should be looking for an entry point that makes sense. For us, that is right about now. There is a good possibility that the stock will go down to about $29.00 a share based of market conditions, but we like the price here and now. 2012 has earnings of about $5.00 a share. The corresponding P/E ration of 6 is just HUGE!!! There is no reason that when the economy gets in full swing, that this stock price goes bananas and surges to $75 a share with a corresponding P/E of 15 where it should be. We love this play.
Now for the truly HUGE news. If you want to know what to buy and when to buy it, this is for you. More importantly, if you want to know when to SELL, this is your answer. It seems that everyone tells you what to buy, but rarely will someone step up to tell you an exit point. NOT ANYMORE! TAKE A LOOK HERE and discover an easy way to make a filthy amount of cash! We will see you there.
The stock market has risen and are longs are KICKING BUTT!!! If you have been following our solid picks, you are making money hand over fist!!! Our latest “short” was ZIP on April 16th at $27.16 a share. They closed at $25.76 on Friday giving us and our loyal followers a quick 5% gain on top of the long positions which also increased. We see ZIP falling another 5-10% in the next month. But today, we have a very nice long position for you all and a HUGE NEW OPPORTUNITY! But wait, there’s more
