Buying Momentum and the Newsletter
Also know
that most newsletter writers may take positions in the stocks
that they recommend to you. Yes, they sometimes buy
shares in a stock that's about to be recommended in the upcoming
issue. They usually buy-in two or three weeks before the recommendation
goes out, maybe earlier.
This usually gives the share price time to settle back down
after they've
made their purchase. If this type of behavior bothers you,
then I suggest
that you just get over it. It's a fact of life and it's not
gonna change. I'd do it, you'd do it, and so would everyone
else. So don't lose sleep over it.
Look at it this way. Somebody owns the stock no matter what
price it is. I look at it like this. They're putting their
own money where their mouth is.
When and if the price of the stock goes up, it's always up
to you to make
the final decision as to when to get out, right? Yes, that's
exactly right!
It's possible that the newsletter writer could buy in early
and get out with a
quick 1/8th, 1/4, or 1/2 point move. But guess what .. so
can you! A newsletter like ours has a big subscriber base,
or a big following of traders. This can propel a stocks price
upward when everybody starts buying in.
Many times this buying momentum can propel a stock to new
highs. If you
know the trading pattern of the stock you'll always feel more
comfortable
about making decisions as to when to get in or out of that
stock. A big
subscriber base does not automatically mean that every pick
goes up!
We'll go over this in more detail later when we cover placing
trades and
trading strategies. If you watch the TV financial news channels,
you'll
sooner or later see a news flash about a stock being up $10.00
to $20.00
a share in one day, based on the recommendation of some alert
service.
It happens all the time. It could happen to you or me (I hope).
One thing's
for sure. If you don't have money in the market it'll never
happen to you! I believe that having one good newsletter or
alert service can be one of the best financial moves that
you'll ever make.
Remember! We do a great deal of work searching out specific
companies that meet a pre-defined criteria. It's hard to put
a price on the true value of a newsletter. All you have to
do is spend a little time trying to do research for yourself
to realize that the small price you pay is a real bargain!
