Trading Short-Term -- Stock Market Investment
(10)
By trading short-term, I mean you don't just
buy a stock, and sell it after five years to
make a profit. This relies too much on your
luck. Its not actually investing. How can you
be certain that your stock will rise?
You should buy stock as a business investment
that deserves your regular attention. The
stock should generate continuous profits like
a business until you decide to switch. You
will lose some money in the process, but you
will also win more. Over a period of several
months, you will manage to make a decent net
gain. Remember to act short-term in order to
build long-term.
Money and Time
•You need some initial capital of course,
$30,000 or more.
•Your brokerage fee is about $10 per trade
to make it worthwhile.
•You buy and sell online with almost
instantaneous results.
•You have a short list of target companies
after some research.
•You dont need to devote full time. You may
put in limit orders to trigger a buy or sell
while youre away. View your investment online
only when necessary. Don't get nervous. Its
only money!
Diversification or not
Don't get intoxicated by the term
diversification. Its only a selling point
used by investment or mutual funds.
Diversification mostly works for big players
with millions to invest because it helps them
spread their risks.
As a small investor, how much can you
diversify? Ten shares here, twenty shares
there, and five shares everywhere? Its not
worth your effort. With limited resources,
you can only focus on one, maybe two
companies at a time. A narrow but sharp focus
helps you understand the company better.
Price Range
Given limited capital, small investors dont
have much leeway in selecting companies. For
instance, the high price of Google is
definitely out of reach. Your target
companies must fit into the right price
range. The most suitable range is from $7 to
$17 a share if your initial investment is
$30,000. Your choices will increase with
higher capital.
When you do a trade, the most suitable
quantity is 500 shares each time. A rise of
$1 in the stock price will yield $500 gain,
which can easily occur within a few days.
Should you trade 50 shares, the yield is not
worthwhile after deducting brokerage fees.
Company Bankruptcy
Like death in life, bankruptcy is the
ultimate risk that every investor has to
face. Unlike death, bankruptcy never comes
suddenly out of the blue. It takes several
months to unravel and it has a cause. The
important thing is how to detect the events
leading to a bankruptcy. A good lesson is to
look at bankruptcy cases like Enron that once
seemed so successful; Countrywide that was
riding high on sub-prime lending; or maybe
Apple that came so close to collapse in the
mid 1990s but then managed a phenomenal
rebound.
Buy Insurance
There is a way to insure against total loss:
short sale. It means you sell the stock first
without actually owning it. When the price
has fallen, you buy back the stock, thus
making a gain. Big players employ this method
to add to their profits when they cash out,
which causes the stock to fall. You can do
that too, but with a different purpose. Short
sale is just the reverse of buy. You profit
from a short sale when the price falls,
whereas in a buy you profit when the price
rises. Be careful about short sales due to
its inherent dangers. Ill tell you more in
the next video.
Company Selection
Compile a short list of target companies
according to what you know, not what other
people say. What you know depends on what you
can observe and detect. However, most
information out there is either dated or
irrelevant. It finally comes down to your own
judgment based on market fundamentals. Ill
present another video on how to distill
relevant information from the mess out there.
Stick to your Objectives
•You're in it to survive and make money
continuously.
•Find ways to protect your initial
investment to enable survival.
•Wait until you find a good target company
before jumping in.
•Once you're in, stay cool and wait for the
right time to cash out.
•Wait until you find the right time to get
back in again.
•You play the same company over and over
until the price goes out of range. You may
also switch company if you find a better one.
