101 Ways To Pick Stock Market Winners – Clem Chambers (1)

As mature adults of the world, we are far too busy to spend time searching out the latest trend in order to turn our worlds upside down. There are still a couple of older generations that haven’t got to grips with computers and maybe never will.

How were they to know that they should have bought Google or Apple stock? If they had stalked their grandchildren they might have seen it coming. Stupid things that kids do often turn out to be the smart things middle- aged people can’t get their heads around. Keeping an eye on what kids are up to is an opportunity to get in early because kids don’t buy shares and the oldies in the City, who have all the money, don’t do new.

At some point even the grey-haired get the picture and suddenly off goes the price of the stock making the stuff that the kids have been loving for a couple of years. This might sound implausible, but anyone buying Games Workshop when it got the rights to the Lord of the Rings film license, will attest that while little metal figures pushed around a board based on a ’60s book loved by hippies, might sound quaint, it was also something that rocketed the price of the company by multiples.

Now if you had read the trade press, known the product and watched the kids practically living in Games Workshop stores, you would have made a pretty penny. 1kitap1.com/en Not for sale Signal: Long Difficulty: 7 Every now and again you will come across a share you can’t buy. It may sound perverse, but some shares can’t be had in enough volume to be worthwhile.

Back in the pit of the credit crunch I decided to buy some Pendragon, a car dealer. I only wanted a little because the stock looked set to go bust as it had fallen well over 90% of its pre-crash and was in the car selling business. It was therefore dependant on credit and selling cars; two bad places to be at the end of a financial crash. However, even though I only wanted a couple of thousand pounds of stock, there was none to be had.

My broker scoured all the market makers and gave the market makers’ cages a good rattling but he simply could not find the stock. In the end, after three days, a small bag of stock was found and I added it to my portfolio. Once the market started to recover it shot up 1000%.

Picking stocks need not be reserved for financial gurus and degree-wielding mathematicians in investment banks. Picking good stocks just requires a toolbox of simple ideas that filter out and zero in on companies that investors should be looking to add to their portfolio, or traders should be looking to play. Investing is not trading and vice versa. Investing is like farming, trading is betting. Both can be very lucrative and either can lose you your shirt. However, in the main, investing is much easier, more leisurely and less risky.

Investors might not get rich quick, but they shouldn’t get poor fast either. Investing is not necessarily that popular; whereas everyone likes to chance their arm at being a trading genius. It is, therefore, no wonder that the stock market carries a certain aroma of the casino. Yet investing is the most prudent way to approach the market. This guide carries investing and trading rules to help you select stocks for investing and trading.

They can be, and should be, combined to complement a stock selection, as while each can be the key to a stock selection, none are contradictory. The more of these rules fit the candidate the better. The 101 ways are a series of techniques of which some are easy and some tricky, hence the difficulty rating. A difficulty of one would suggest the idea was simple even to a novice, and, win or lose, the choices to get in and out are very simple.

A high score over five means the technique needs careful thought and might take a bit of reflection and practice to use. At the high end, an eight or nine rating would mean the technique was extremely tricky—a do or die method that should only be used if you are very confident. The Long and Short of it. The ways are also categorised by signal; either long or short (sometimes both). When you buy a share you are long.

That’s simple enough to understand. Long means you own the share. If you have a thousand pounds of Shell, you are long a thousand pounds of Shell. To be short is the opposite of long. This idea can be confusing. How can you own minus a thousand pounds of Shell? How can you own negative shares? Well if you sell shares you don’t have, you are short. This might sound illegal and wicked, but it is not and it is understood to be OK, even though people often moan about people who are short.

Shorting works like this: You borrow some shares. You sell them at a price to someone. You buy them back and return them to the folks you borrowed them from.
