Asset Allocation Investment Planning to Beat Inflation: Investing by the Numbers / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Steve_Selengut
Uno. Asset Allocation is an investment planning tool, not an investment strategy... few investment professionals understand the distinction. Investment strategies are used to implement the asset allocation formula that investment planning produces. Many investors incorrectly believe that investment planning and financial planning are one and the same. Financial planning is the broader concept, one that involves such non-investment considerations as: Wills and Estates, insurances, budgeting, trusts, etc. Investment Planning takes place within the Trusts, Endowments, IRAs, and other Brokerage Accounts that come into existence as a result of, or without, Financial Planning.

By: Steve_Selengut
Stocks, bonds, index funds; averages, recessions, market rallies and corrections; mutual funds, technical analysis, financial statements; commissions, taxes, and discount brokers.

Investment Performance Analysis Using the Working Capital Asset Allocation Model / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Steve_Selengut
It matters not what lines, numbers, indices, or gurus you worship, you just can't know where the stock market is going or when it will change direction. Too much investor time and analytical effort is wasted trying to predict course corrections... even more is squandered comparing portfolio Market Values with a handful of unrelated indices and averages. If we reconcile in our minds that we can't predict the future (or change the past), we can move through the uncertainty more productively. Let's simplify portfolio performance evaluation by using information that we don't have to speculate about, and which is related to our own personal investment programs. Read full article...

The Reality of Stock Market Corrections and What to Consider / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Steve_Selengut
Every correction is the same, a normal downturn in one or more of the Markets where we invest. There has never been a correction that has not proven to be an investment opportunity. You can be confident that the Federal Reserve, as hypnotized as it is with keeping inflation under control, is not going to cause either a financial panic or a prolonged recession with tight money and high interest rate policies. While everything is down in price, as it is now, there is little to worry about. When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. Read full article... Read full article...

Taking Action is the Key to Trading Success / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Nazy_Massoud
How to Deal With Invisible Fences in Your Trading - I was watching a rerun of "Sex and the City." If you are not familiar with the series, it is about 4 single women living in Manhattan and what they went through in their daily lives.
In any case, these city girls went to suburbia for a party. They were passing by a house and saw a dog. One of them gestured for the dog to come to her. The dog came to a certain point and then went back. She was stunned by what had happened. She could not figure out why the dog retreated when he seemed to be interested. She started to take it personally. Then one of her friends explained that there was an invisible electronic fence around the house...

Should we add to our metals positions? To help answer this question we ask ourselves important questions such as "what does the end of a bull market look like"? Clearly gold and silver have been in a bull market as their prices have roughly tripled from their lows earlier this decade. So we want to know, 'What would the end of a mega bull market look like?' to help us gain confidence in our decisions today. If we are in a bull market in precious metals are we likely at the end of this current bull-run?Before we continue let us clarify that there are no absolute rules to the financial markets and we are only providing our opinion, however we have found that with common sense analysis and research our probability of successful and profitable investing is greatly improved.

Traders - Get a Mental Edge to Avoid Tripping Yourself Up! / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Nazy_Massoud
Have you been in situations where you had several winning trades which were wiped out by one losing trade?
Have these become a pattern?
Like some of my clients, you may be saying, “I have spent hours creating my plan.” Then you start the day with every intention of following it. After a few losing trades, you lose your control and with that, your plans go out the window. You try to make up for your losses by chasing after deals and increasing the size of your trades. So you get in at the wrong entry point and the size does not warrant the risk.
