Make The Right Choice


A lot of concerns are creeping onto the markets that have been here before. We are no stranger to war and the crisis in Europe seems to be a never ending story. Of course their trouble could spill out and this could cause yet another panic in the markets. If its not an earthquake then its a nuclear meltdown or and energy crisis.

There will always be something negative if your looking for it. The days of aggressive stock traders seem to have faded away. Now we have chat rooms full of university students, grandmother's and office workers spending a bit too much company time logged in to the on line trading account. Everyone wants that 7 figure account by finding the next 10 bagger in the markets. They are there but its almost like catching lightning in a bottle. Certain sectors are hotter than others right now and I myself like gold. I wrote some time ago that if you took 10 gold juniors and put $1000 in each one you would probably have at least a 50% gain by the end of the year. That's a bit better than the mutual fund your bank is trying to sell you on. Of course you have to find small floats, cash in the bank and companies with current drill programs. There are a lot of dead gold juniors as well that are almost like a shell looking for a deal to fold into it.

When times are tough people usually turn to gold. The price of gold has been on the rise and some analysts are calling for $5000 an ounce gold soon. That seems a bit high and I think $2500 will probably be the next resistance point where we hover and the markets correct themselves.

Getting back to trading and the types of traders its interesting how old traditions still remain when it comes to selling. I have never been a fan of go away in May and if you ask most investors they are not sure why they should go away. We have such a globally connected commerce these days that I can invest in a gold company drilling in the rainy season half way around the world and everything is traded these days so I think its game on all year round. There are sharks in the markets and they are always looking for a deal. They would love to talk you out of your long position and may even try to convince you of an approaching crash. From the moment some traders buy they have fear. They wonder if they paid too much and if it was a good time to buy even though the shares are already in their account. If the stock starts to go up their fear manifests itself to the point where now the investors is worried this may be the only gain they ever see and then panic sell. Remember there is usually always a buyer for each seller. Each time you buy or sell you should ask yourself if you can deal with the after effects which include a total loss or that the stock you just sold has been offered a huge premium buy-out right after you ran away with a 5% profit.

Try to take all of the emotion out of the trade itself. If you look at the funds you have as money you are investing for your most important client and can not afford to just lose it by a high risk move then you will probably make some more educated trades. Due diligence is not something accomplished in 5 minutes and remember that reading stock chat boards can give you some interesting positive and negative feedback but everyone there is out to make money. No matter what you read you are guaranteed there is a motive behind each and every post. I think the markets are in a state of flux. There are a lot of bargains and too many people are worried they will be the last to sell so they would rather move on early than too late.

Always buy or sell because its the right thing for you based on all the information you have gathered. Don't react to hype or bashing, either one could push you to make a move you will regret.
