University of Wall Street. Your Guide to Leaderboard 3 2 The 3-Step Routine for Using Leaderboard A daily routine is the most important key to success with Leaderboard. DAILY ROUTINE 1 Check the Market Trend Found in the top-right corner of the Leaderboard homepage. When it says “Market in Confirmed Uptrend” and a green arrow is pointing up, that indicates it’s the most favorable time to buy new stocks and generate big profits. If the arrow is yellow or red and it says “Uptrend Under Pressure” or “Market in Correction,” it’s a riskier time to trade. You should approach trades cautiously. 2 Familiarize yourself with the stocks in the Leaders List Located in the left column of the Leaderboard homepage. Take a few minutes to look at each stock, including the chart, the buy range, the Leaderboard Analysis and the Backstory. This will help explain the thinking behind the trade and let you know how our experts view the stock. 3 Review the latest Leaderboard buy/sell alerts Be ready to take action when you receive a new alert. If you buy and sell Leaderboard stocks as close to the optimal times that our team suggests, you’ll have the best chance to maximize your profits and minimize any drawdowns. Your Guide to Leaderboard 5 Buying and Selling Stocks on Leaderboard WHEN TO BUY Buy a stock when it’s in the IBD® Buy Zone. If you enable desktop notifications or download the mobile app, you’ll get a Buy Alert when the stock reaches a buy point. Buying tip from our experts: Sometimes a stock will jump in price after a Leaderboard Buy Alert is sent. If you receive an alert but the stock is out of the IBD Buy Zone by the time you’re ready to trade, don’t chase it. Wait to see if it comes back into the Buy Zone, or move on to the next trade. WHEN TO SEll To track Leaderboard’s performance, sell a stock when you receive a sell alert on your desktop browser or mobile app. Keep in mind that sell alerts can involve selling your entire position or a fraction of it. This can vary based on market conditions; for example, if the market suddenly takes a hit, we might reduce exposure to avoid losses. Selling tip from our experts: Pay special attention to Leaderboard sell alerts around the time that the market closes (1pm PT / 4pm ET). Many times, the Leaderboard team will wait to see how the stock acts heading into the final hour of market action. Our goal is to avoid selling prematurely based on early market fluctuations, also known as getting shaken out. 6 How Many shares should you buy? Buying the right amount of shares is almost as important as the stock you’re buying. Too many, and you’re taking on more risk. Too few, and you’re not generating the type of profits that make a difference in your portfolio. Leaderboard represents a model portfolio. Each stock added to Leaderboard is designated with a position size, which will often change as more shares are added or sold. The position size is listed under “Current Action” in green text on the Trade Setup. 10% of your 5% of your 2.5% of your total portfolio total portfolio total portfolio value value value Full Half Quarter Position Position Position Your Guide to Leaderboard 7 3 The System Behind Leaderboard Leaderboard generates market-beating returns in part because it’s based on the time-tested CAN SLIM® Investing System. This system was created by legendary investor William O’Neil based on decades of research into one question: What makes a winning stock? O’Neil found that the best stocks throughout history shared seven characteristics; these characteristics are each represented by one letter in the acronym “CAN SLIM.” This system takes into account key factors like earnings and sales growth, institutional sponsorship and market trend. 8 Fundamental Analysis + Technical Analysis + Market Timing Many traders employ either fundamental analysis or technical analysis to guide their buy and sell decisions. Leaderboard combines both: fundamental analysis to identify the stocks, and technical analysis to determine when to enter and exit the trades. On top of that, Leaderboard uses a market timing system that protects you during market corrections and maximizes gains during strong uptrends. Fundamental Analysis Looks at the underlying attributes of the companies behind the stocks. Earnings, sales and return on equity are all examples of fundamentals that are considered when determining the strength of a stock. Technical Analysis Relies on examining stock charts for clues about when to buy and sell a stock. Base patterns, relative strength and moving average lines are all examples of indicators that are considered by technical traders. Market Timing Allows you to make profitable trades during strong uptrends and avoid painful losses during downtrends. Leaderboard’s market timing system is based on more than 100 years of stock market research and precedents. Your Guide to Leaderboard 9 4 Helpful Tips Watch the Leaderboard welcome video.

  • Financial Performance: a Macroeconomic and Leverage View
    Financial Performance: A Macroeconomic and Leverage View Mudassar Hasan*, Gul Rukh**, Rizwan Ali***, and Ramiz-Urn-Rehman**** Abstract The study has been conducted to explore the relationship between financial leverage and financial performance. The study also involves macroeconomic perspective by involving few macro variables like interest rate. It has been conducted on the Non-Financial sector of Pakistan including all non-financial companies listed at Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) as a sample. The study has been conducted over a period of seven years, 2005 through 2011. Regression analysis has been performed in order to analysis the data. The results of the study exhibit that financial leverage, measured by Debt to Equity ratio has significant impact on financial performance variables, measured by Return on Assets and Return on Capital, whereas on the other two variables, Return on Equity and Earnings Per Share, its effect is insignificant. On the other hand two variables namely Gross Domestic Product and Interest Rate were used as indicators of overall economy and their impact was also studied on financial performance. The results show that their effect on financial performance is insignificant. Combining all the results together it can be concluded that financial performance is majorly determined by firm’s choice of financial leverage and not by the overall health of the economy specifically in context of non-financial firms in Pakistan. Key Words: Capital Structure, Financial Performance, Return on Equity, Asset & Capital. Introductions Capital structure is method for assessment building of business firms, and facilitates maximization of return resting on investment, as well as boosts the effectiveness of financing and payment decisions.

    For More Than 25 Years, IBD Has Been Helping Investors 2009 Anniversary Issue I dedicated the 2004 Stock Trader’s Almanac to Bill O’Neil: “His foresight, innovation and disciplined approach to stock market investing will influence investors and traders for generations to come.” I would also add that the inspiring daily column, IBD’s 10 Secrets to Success, by itself, is worth much more that the subscription price. YALE HIRSCH, PUBLISHER, EDITOR OF STOCK TRADER’S ALMANAC, AUTHOR OF LET’S CHANGE THE WORLD INC. I think the consistency of IBD and the interesting and informative news on a range of topics that is highly relevant for investors is impressive.

  • OPBM II: an Interpretation of the CAN SLIM Investment Strategy
    OPBM II: An Interpretation of the CAN SLIM Investment Strategy Matthew Lutey University of New Orleans Michael Crum Northern Michigan University David Rayome Northern Michigan University The CAN SLIM investment strategy was developed by William J. O’Neil and has been popularized by Investor’s Business Daily. This trading strategy involves selecting stocks based upon seven criteria, and requires active portfolio management. This paper presents and tests a simplified version of the CAN SLIM strategy, which could relatively easily be used by individual investors using stock screeners. The simplified trading strategy outperformed the NASDAQ 100 Index by .94% per month for the period 2010 through 2013 and achieved a greater reward per unit of risk when compared to the NASDAQ 100. INTRODUCTION The CAN SLIM trading strategy, created by William J. O’Neil, involves selecting stocks based upon seven criteria (2009). Despite the fact that the seven selection criteria are relatively simple to understand conceptually, they can be extremely difficult to actually use to select stocks in practice. This is particularly problematic as the CAN SLIM strategy is viewed as a tool for the individual investor, who may not have the knowledge and/or ability to use the strategy correctly. This paper develops and tests a simplified version of the CAN SLIM strategy- outperform the broad market (OPBM) II, which reduces the seven selection criteria to four criteria. This simplified CAN SLIM trading strategy is designed so that the average individual investor (with little to no analytic capability) could easily select stocks using widely available stock screeners. Thus, individual investors could make use of this strategy without having to spend a substantial amount of time developing the market expertise required to successfully implement the traditional CAN SLIM investing strategy.

  • What Percentage of His Stocks Does David Ryan Sell For
    What percentage of his stocks does David Ryan sell for 20-25% gains and how does he decide to hold longer for bigger gains? It always comes down to your conviction in the stock. For instance, David still holds some OLLI from the IPO base that was highlighted in the webinar. When it is clear down trend on the charts and what are the common signals? MarketSmith uses a Follow-Through Day for the first signal and then tracks the stocks breaking out from solid bases. Investors won’t know initially if market action is bullish so you have to wait to see if more stocks keep breaking out and moving higher. Click for more information about market timing. How do you manage a position when a big sudden drop triggers your stop loss, yet the price bounces back? There will be trades where you will sell at the low of the day, unfortunately. No one can control this. The reason for placing stops is to avoid staying in stocks that keep going down, thereby having a large impact on our portfolio. What should you do during a bear market? In a bear market, experienced investors will usually be in cash; waiting for stocks to set up and a market signal (Follow-Through Day) to give an indication that the market might be changing to an uptrend. Do you have any shortcuts or suggestions on managing the watch list? Any "must have data" columns? The default columns are usually the essential data points to consider. We don't have a specific short cut for the column headers though.

  • A Review of Fundamental and Technical Stock Analysis Techniques Veliota Drakopoulou* Ashford University, San Diego, California, USA
    ock & Fo St re f x o T l r a a d n r i Drakopoulou, J Stock Forex Trad 2015, 5:1 n u g o DOI: 10.4172/2168-9458.1000163 J Journal of Stock & Forex Trading ISSN: 2168-9458 Review Article Open Access A Review of Fundamental and Technical Stock Analysis Techniques Veliota Drakopoulou* Ashford University, San Diego, California, USA Abstract “Never fall in love with a stock, because it will never love you back.” The objective of this technical paper is to present the leading fundamental analysis and stock valuation techniques used by daily equity traders in the selection of stocks in actively traded equity portfolios. Daily equities traders use mostly technical charts and other instruments to recognize patterns that can advocate perspective activity without measuring a stock’s intrinsic value to make trading decisions. Chart analysis is devised to detect trades with highly expected probability outcomes by setting exact price targets. The purpose of this technical paper is to advocate the importance of fundamental analysis in the investment decisions of daily traders. Fundamental analysis is based on the critical comparisons of a stock’s intrinsic value to the prevailing market price. If the stock’s intrinsic value exceeds the marker price, it makes sense for a fundamental investor/trader to buy the stock. This paper supports the idea that utilization of both investment techniques would lead into more successful investing decisions for equities traders. Keywords: Stock analysis; Stock valuation; Marker price; Traders uncertainly such as accounting frauds, the threat of war in the Middle East, economic crisis, and political scandals can force the market down.
