The Golden Rule of Stock Trading

June 1, 2007

By The Confident Investor

2008 is starting out even worse than 2007 ended.

Concern over the subprime mess and a U.S. recession has spread worldwide.

Markets have been tanking around the globe, as investors crush each other in their rush for the exits. Now Uncle Ben and the Federal Reserve have finally cut interest rates by ¾ of a percentage point. And the million dollar question is, “What happens next?”

My name is John Lansing, and the answer to that question is it all depends upon your point of view.  

You see, I’m NOT a stock investor. I’m a stock trader, instead.

As 2007 proved — and as 2008 is proving once again -- buy-and-hold doesn’t work in today’s fast markets. It’s just a great way to ride stocks up and down, watching paper profits disappear in the next, inevitable market swoon.

And that’s just a surefire way to drive yourself batty. I’d rather build my wealth, instead.

Let me tell you how my Trending123 subscribers have done in 2007 — and then you consider, honestly, how that stacks up to your results.

We closed 113 trades in 2007
We had 85 winners, against 28 losers — a winning percentage of 75%.
Better yet, we averaged an 85.09% annualized gain on each trade!

85.09%!!! -- and that average takes into account all our losing trades, as well.

If you’ve done better, my hat’s off to you. If you haven’t, then I invite you to try my Trending123 service at a special low price. Click on any link for details.

How to profit when everyone around you is losing his head

Volatile times like these are custom-made for stock traders.

We don’t fall in love with any stock or stock sector. We just ride the money flows that make things happen on Wall Street. When opportunity knocks, we open the door. But when the storm starts brewing, we slam the door shut.

And while other “gurus” preach that you should always be in the market, I say that’s BULL. For example, we sold everything at Trending123 before last summer’s huge swoon. Sold everything and banked our profits, because remember…

…profits ain’t profits until you take them.

So no, we’re not afraid of volatility at Trending123. We welcome it with open arms. And that’s a good thing — because as that old baseball legend Yogi Berra said, “It’s déjà vu all over again.”

The rest of 2008 is going to be a tug-of-war.

The Fed will be cutting interest rates, trying to keep the economy afloat. Countless billions of subprime losses will chew up the financial sector, like termites chomping on rotten wood. And investors are going to get whipsawed, as they try to guess what comes next.

Don’t guess! Come to Trending123 and bank profits like these, instead:

96.72% gains in Cell Genesys in 1 week
37.15% gains in Golden Star Resources in 5 months
70.68% gains in U.S. Global Investors in 5 weeks
37.73% gains in EPIQ Systems in 5 months
109.91% gains in Zoll Medical in 4 months
33.85% gains in Apple in 6 weeks
84.49% gains in Overstock.com in 3 months
My subscribers are happy, happy, happy.
