8. Day 7 - Check the Charts Everyday
WHILE YOU ARE ON A CHECK OUT LINE OR WATCHING TV
USE FINVIZ.COM, STOCKCHARTS.COM, YAHOO.COM
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BECOME AN EXPERT CHARTIST OR ANALYST
PICK A SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES AN EXPERT CHARTIST OR ANALYST
YOU KNOW HOW TO PICK AN EXPERT MECHANIC, HAIR STYLIST
THE EXPERTS DO ALL THE WORK FOR YOU, BLAME THEM IF WRONG
THE MARKET CHART WILL TELL YOU WHEN TO SELL EVERYTHING

10% OR MORE TO BEAT THE INDEX
15% OR MORE TO REDUCE PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
WITH SID GRADE = 80 OR MORE TO BEAT THE INDEX
WITH SID GRADE = 85 OR MORE TO REDUCE TURNOVER
VERY HIGH RETURNS ARE VERY RISKY
VERY LOW RETURNS WITH HIGH SID = SPECIAL SITUATION
VERY HIGH RETURNS WITH LOW SID = SLOW ANALYST DOWNGRADE

10. Day 9 – Pick Fundamental Buy Signals
MUST ALWAYS HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL BUY SIGNAL
OVERVALUED GROWTH TSLA & NFLX WON’T HAVE IT
FUNDAMENTAL BUY + SID 80 TO 100 = BUY
FUNDAMENTAL BUY + SID 61 TO 79 = HOLD
FUNDAMENTAL BUY + SID 60 AND BELOW = SELL
PORTFOLO MANAGERS BUY LIST = FUNDAMENTAL BUY

FUNDAMENTALS + TECHNICALS = BEAT THE INDEX
TECHNICALS = SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY TO BEAT THE INDEX
ONLY STAY IN STOCKS THAT ARE OUTPERFORMING THE INDEX
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS CANNOT DO THIS
THE SYSTEM READS THE CHART FOR YOU
THE CHARTS REFLECT THE MOST EXPENSIVE RESEARCH

SMALL INVESTORS BUY HIGH AND SELL LOW
PROFESSIONALS BUY LOW AND SELL HIGH
SMALL INVESTORS NEED TIMING DISCIPLINE LIKE THE PRO
BUY ON WEAKNESS, SELL INTO STRENGTH, HARD-WIRED

AS MARKET IS MAKING NEW LOWS PROS ARE BUYING WINNERS
TRADERS USE THE TIMING SIGNAL TOO

13. Day 12 – Pick High SID Grades, First Step
LOOK AT THE SID GRADE FIRST, BEFORE OTHER SIGNALS
IT INCLUDES ALL THE BUY SIGNALS AND IMPLIED RETURNS
HIGH SID SCORES = STOCKS OUTPERFORMING THE INDEX
LOW SID SCORES = QUESTIONABLE BUY SIGNALS
FAILING SID SCORES = STOCKS TO AVOID
SID SCORE ELIMINATES EMOTIONS
SID SCORE SHOWS WHAT THE PROS ARE DOING

14. Day 13 – Pick Stocks in Uptrends
PICK STOCKS THAT HAVE 50 AND 200-DAY UPTRENDS
SICK CROSS = 20-DAY BREAKS BELOW THE 50-DAY
DEATH CROSS = 50-DAY BREAKS BELOW THE 200-DAY
LOOK FOR LONG UPTRENDS WITH ROUNDING TOPS TO SELL
LOOK FOR LONG DOWNTRENDS WITH ROUNDING BOTTOMS TO BUY
SID SYSTEM READS THE CHART FOR YOU
LOOK FOR UPTRENDS IN RELATIVE STRENGTH

15. Day 14 – Pick Outperforming Stocks
RELATIVE STRENGTH = PRICE MOVEMENT RELATIVE TO THE INDEX POSITIVE RELATIVE STRENGTH = OUTPERFORMERS STAY IN POSITIVE STOCKS = BEAT THE INDEX IT IS A SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY PORTFOLIO MANAGERS HAVE TO SELL UNDERPERFORMERS THEY HAVE TO BUY OUTPERFORMERS RELATIVE STRENGTH TELLS WHAT THEY ARE BUYING/SELLING.

16. Day 15 – Law of Demand & Supply = Price
MOST DIFFICULT LESSON TO LEARN FOR NOVICES
FIRST MYTH: FUNDAMENTALS DETERMINE PRICE
SECOND MYTH: THE MARKET IS EFFICIENT = CORRECT PRICE
TRADERS LOVE VOLATILE/INEFFICIENT MARKETS
DEVIATION FROM THE MEAN: PRICE RETURNS TO THE AVERAGE
APPLE REPORTS GOOD EARNINGS AND PRICE GOES DOWN
MARKET ALWAYS LOOKS AHEAD TO DETERMINE TODAY’S PRICE

17. Day 16 – Analysts Create Demand/Supply
RECOMMENDATIONS, FORECASTS, TARGETS, ETC
ALL OF THIS IS ALREADY IN THE PRICE OF THE STOCK
SMALL INVESTOR IS THE LAST TO HEAR THIS NEWS
PROS REFUSE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING IN THE MEDIA
CHARTS SHOW WHEN PROS GET THE RESEARCH
USE CHARTS TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD
SID RATING TELLS WHAT THE PROS ARE DOING

18. Day 17 – Fundamentals Create Demand/Supply
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS USE COMPUTERS TO PICK STOCKS
THEY USE ANALYST RESEARCH TO DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE
ANALYST TARGETS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN RECOMMENDATION
ANALYSTS KNOW ALL FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPANY
EXCEPT SECRET NEGOTIATIONS ON MERGERS
NON-FUNDAMENTAL FACTORS AFFECTING PRICE
EVENTUALLY UNKNOWN FORCES BECOME KNOWN

19. Day 18 - Company Creates Demand/Supply
COMPANY ISSUED PRESS RELEASES, OR GOLF COURSE TALK
NEW CFO OR NEW CEO OR NEW PRODUCTS
LARGE COMPANIES HAVE NUMEROUS PRESS RELEASES DAILY
COMPANY BUYS ITS OWN STOCK CREATING DEMAND
COMPANY INSIDERS BUY STOCK CREATING DEMAND
BIOTECH COMPANY ANNOUNCES BLOCKBUSTER DRUG
COMPANY GETS ANALYSTS TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENTS ON EPS

20. Day 19–Economic News Creates Demand/Supply
EXOGENOUS FACTORS OUTSIDE THE COMPANY
THE 2008 MARKET CRASH FROM THE MORTGAGE BUBBLE
EMPLOYMENT, INFLATION, PRODUCTION, INTEREST RATES
NATURAL DISASTERS, TERRORIST ATTACKS
INCREASED EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES = DEMAND
INCREASED INTEREST RATES, UNEMPLOYMENT = SUPPLY
PRICES UP = GOOD NEWS, PRICES DOWN = BAD NEWS

21. Day 20 – World News Creates Demand/Supply
ANNOUNCED NEWS IS ALREADY IN PRICE
ONLY TRUE SURPRISES ARE NOT IN PRICE AND THESE ARE FEW
GREEK DEBT CRISIS, OR SPAIN OR PORTUGAL OR IRELAND
EURO DROPPING AND THE DOLLAR GOING UP HURTS EXPORTS
TERRORIST ATTACKS SUCH AS 9-11 ON THE USA
MUST HAVE A SELL STRATEGY FOR NEGATIVE SURPRISES
MUST HAVE A BUY STRATEGY FOR NEGATIVE SURPRISES

22. Day 21 – Demand/Supply Dictates Price
NEED TO MEASURE DEMAND/SUPPLY, 20-DAY D/S CHART, TRADERS
LONGER TERM 20-DAY SID CHART, FOR INVESTORS
YOU WILL ALWAYS UNDERSTAND WHAT PRICE IS DOING
BUT YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY, BUT YOU DON’T CARE
VALUE LINE PROJECTS PRICE OUT 2-3 YEARS
“NEVER FIGHT THE TAPE” OR THE CHART OR DEMAND/SUPPLY
“WHY IS PRICE GOING DOWN?” A MEANINGLESS QUESTION

23. Day 22 – How to be a Contrarian
ALL PROS ARE CONTRARIANS, BUY ON WEAKNESS
IT IS COUNTER INTUITIVE, NOT EASILY LEARNED BY INVESTORS
HAVE A PRE-SET BUY AND SELL DISCIPLINE
WHEN THE MARKET IS MAKING NEW HIGHS, PROS SELL
WHEN THE MARKET MAKES NEW LOWS, PROS BUY
SMALL INVESTOR NEEDS A SYSTEM TO MAKE HIM A PRO
SYSTEM PUTS EVERYTHING ON AUTOMATIC, NO EMOTIONS

24. Day 23 – How to Rotate into Winners
SECTOR ROTATION IS A PROFESSIONAL STYLE OF MANAGEMENT
ROTATE INTO THE BEST STOCKS IN THE BEST INDUSTRIES
ROTATE INTO THE BEST STOCKS IN HEALTHCARE
ROTATE INTO THE BEST STOCKS IN FINANCIALS
MUST HAVE A GOOD SELL DISCIPLINE TO DO THIS
CHAIKIN SYSTEM IS EXCELLENT AT THIS
READ “SUCCESFULL STOCK SIGNALS”, MY BOOK

25. Day 24 – How to Diversify to Reduce Risk
SMALL INVESTORS USUALLY IGNORE RISK TO PICK FUNDS
SMALL INVESTORS PICK WINNING MUTUAL FUNDS, HIGH RISK
EVERYONE KNOWS HIGH RETURNS = HIGH RISK
10 OR MORE STOCKS TO DIVERSIFY, REDUCE RISK
BEATING THE INDEX WITH DIVERSIFIED LIST
WATCH OUT FOR HIGH BETA STOCKS IN A CRASH
SMALL INVESTOR AVOIDS LOSING INDUSTRIES, PROS CANNOT

26. Day 25 – How to Make a Killing in the Markets
MAKE A FORTUNE WHEN MARKETS ARE INEFFICIENT, PANIC MODE
THE OLD RULE WAS TO MAKE MARKETS EFFICIENT
THE NEW RULE IS TO MAKE MARKETS INEFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE
THE PROS BUY ON PANIC SELLING, LIKE WARREN BUFFETT
AND THEY SELL INT0 “IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE” BUYING
COPY WARREN BUFFETT’S CONFIDENCE
USE A SYSTEM LIKE SID TO GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE

27. Day 26 – How to Reject News and Follow Price
ALL OF THE NEWS IS ALREADY IN PRICE
ONLY REAL AND EXTREME SURPRISES ARE NOT IN PRICE
ONLY LISTEN TO REAL SURPRISES, FORGET ALL THE OTHER NEWS
REMEMBER IF IT IS IN THE NEWS THE PROS WON’T PAY FOR IT
PRICE WILL TELL YOU IF THE NEWS IS GOOD OR BAD
THERE IS NO LOGIC TO PRICE MOVEMENTS, SO JUST FOLLOW THEM
THE MARKET IS SMARTER THAN YOU AND THE ANNOUCED NEWS

28. Day 27 – How to Play with the Pros
EVERYONE WATCHES THE PROS PLAY SPORTS
NOBODY WATCHES THE PROS PLAY ON WALL STREET
WATCH THE PROS PLAY THE GAME ON NASDAQ.COM
OR WATCH THEM IN INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY
OR WATCH THEM IN SID SIGNALS
OR WATCH THEM IN THE CHARTS, READ MY BOOK
“SUCCESSFUL STOCK SIGNALS” SHOWS THE PROS PLAYING THE GAME

29. Day 28 – How to Make Money Stock Investing
THE KEY WORD HERE IS “INVESTING” vs “TRADING”
TRADERS MAKE MONEY WITH GUTS AND CONTRARIAN INSTINCTS
INVESTORS MAKE MONEY BY PICKING THE NEXT IBM, HPQ, GE, APPLE
ANYONE OF THESE COULD HAVE MADE ME A MULTI MILLIONAIRE
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS, IPOs, ARE THE BIRTH OF STOCKS
DON’T MISS THE NEXT APPLE OR GOOGLE OR NETFLIX OR FACEBOOK
IF YOU MISS THE IPO, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE FOR A 50-YEAR RUN

30. Day 29 – How to Make Money Trading Stocks
FORGET ALL YOU LEARNED ABOUT INVESTING WHEN TRADING
TRADERS KNOW HOW TO FRONT-RUN MARKET EMOTIONS
TRADERS HAVE A TRIGGER FINGER, SELL INSTANTLY, QUICK PROFIT
READ THE CHART AND FRONT RUN AHEAD OF BIG BUYERS/SELLERS
TRADERS PLAY MINUTE BY MINUTE CHANGES IN DEMAND/SUPPLY
IF YOU READ MY BOOK AND CAN READ CHARTS, PLAY THIS GAME
REMEMBER “TRADERS DIE BROKE” BECAUSE OF RISK
