<p>We all know that in the <a href="http://www.stockpickins.com" target=_self>stock market</a> is always possible to watch certain stocks go up more than 50% within a few hours to days. This is especially true in the 4th quarter of the year where the buying frenzy starts in wall street.</p>
<p>The financial media constantly reports about momentum stocks that are achieving tremendous gains during the same day. And even when you can see online investors that make $3000 on a single trade, it is also not unusual to watch beginner stock investors lose a great deal of money because of a series of unwise decisions</p>
<p>The problem is that if you don&#8217;t know how to pick among stocks &amp; how to properly approach them you could end up wasting dollars instead of making your wallet happy. You can&#8217;t just trade stocks like if you where gambling in Vegas or Atlantic City.</p>
<p>The first step in becoming a profitable trader is to start learning how to pick and trade stocks. There are many &#8220;ultimate&#8221; trading systems out there, but you need to test them in order to discover which ones help you the most. That&#8217;s part of your homework as a stock trader. Test several strategies and then test them again until you are able to produce consistent winnings.</p>
<p> 
<p>Bogus stock trading software programs and complicated day trading systems that rely on a &#8220;boat load&#8221; of technical analysis indicators can confuse you and make you slow, and being slow when trading stocks can be as dangerous as not knowing what to do in the first place.</p>
<p>The worst thing that can happen to a beginner stock market trader is to get information overload. It&#8217;s better to go step by step, and test a practical trading strategy that can help you focus on simple ways to make money while picking SOLID hot stock trading opportunities once at a time.</p>
<p> <strong></strong></p>
<p>In the end, stock trading is all about buying and selling according to your especific knowledge FILTER. Once you master and follow your proven filter parameters like a clock, you can expect to start making serious amounts of cash on a consistent basis.</p>
<p>Fortunately some websites on the internet can show you how to use effective and proven stock trading strategies. One of those sites that can show you how to take advantage of hot stocks using simple to understand and apply momentum trading strategies is <a href="http://www.PracticalDayTrading.com">http://www.PracticalDayTrading.com</a></p>
<p>Visit them today &amp; discover how to profit in the stock market by picking hot stock trading opportunities in a realistic way every week.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.stockpickins.com" target=_self>stock market</a> should present you with a wide variety of NEW hot stocks in 2009. Many of them are going to be new technology stocks that come from the nanotech, biotech, financial, energy, healthcare &amp; communications sectors.</p>
<p>Most of them might seem promising, but the truth is that a good number of these trading &amp; investing opportunities could be extremely risky, while others are simply not as good as they look. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s very important to know how to choose among the best especially if you want to day trade them.</p>
<p>When you know how to pick and approach the best hot stock trading opportunities, you are able to generate a consistent and respectable amount of money in a very short period of time.</p>
<p>Experienced day traders recognize that trading hot stocks on momentum can be the fastest way to make money in the stock market, especially on uncertain times like these.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t necessarily have to trade momentum hot stocks all the time. But you can learn how to take advantage of them when you encounter the best opportunities for going long or for shorting them to make money when they are poised to fall down.</p>
<p>If You decide to day trade stocks just keep always in mind that for a trader to survive and be consistently profitable, its necessary to keep things as simple as possible. To much confusion and technical indicators will most of the time make you slow in your decisions and froze you up when a good opportunity is right in front of your screen.</p>
<p>In the end, stock market day trading is all about picking the best daily stock opportunities and following your buy and sell signals with ease and simplicity. Once you learn to master your trading decisions, you can aspire to produce consistent profitable results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>winning stocks as good stocks that are on the rise. What are some theories on picking the right ones. I am currently playing virtual stocks and i want to learn.<br />
<br />Most of the answers here will deal with fundamental analysis, which is fine but I believe technical analysis is a much better way to go.  Fundamentals can be interpreted many different ways and you can spend hours researching just one stock.  You may also get to the point where your research gets you &quot;married&quot; to a stock and you refuse to take losses.  </p>
<p>Once you have developed a method of reading charts, one can look at a stock and form an unbiased judgment on the future direction&#8230;.in a fraction of the time.  Your fundamental analysis may get you into a stock that has a nice run up, but you may have to wait months before it happens.  If you follow the technicals you are able to time it amazingly better.  This is the best way to catch emerging trends.  </p>
<p>Also half of trading stocks is psychological, if you don&#8217;t have a plan when to take profits or losses you will find yourself on an emotional roller coaster.  Its best to keep it objective as possible.</p>
<p>Whatever your decision on how you picks stocks, technical analysis should be considered when placing the trade.</p>
<p>FYI &#8211; if most investors followed some type of momentum indicator they would have gotten out before the 2008 financial crisis and then back in Apr or May 2009</p>
<p>hope this helps</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need some help <a href="http://www.stockpickins.com" target=_self>picking stocks</a> to buy or short sell<br />
<br />If you&#8217;re a rookie in investing or stocks, go to</p>
<p>www.finance.yahoo.com.</p>
<p>Open up a portfolio without using real money. You can give yourself as much or as little money to try out the market. The stocks you want to focus on is consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and healthcare. These are DEFENSIVE stocks that will survive through good and bad times. Most of my positions are in these stocks. Some names include 3M, Procter &amp; Gamble, Kimberly Clark, Exxon Mobil, Walmart, Costco. Everybody&#8217;s got to eat and wipe their butts regardless of the state of economy. Many of these companies survived through the Great Depression.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the benefits. You can sleep at night knowing your money is doing well. There are NO guarantees that you won&#8217;t lose money. It&#8217;s just that these stocks are the best. They pay good dividends too.</p>
<p>Then once you&#8217;re comfortable and test the waters of the market, you can finally put some real money in. Go to Scottrade.com. They&#8217;re excellent for beginners.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stockpickins.com" target=_self>picking stocks</a> FOR 2009. January 16, 2009.<br /> 
<p>Im expecting 2009 to be a better time for investors. Not an easy time, as in the one-sided market of the late 1990s when everything one bought went up, but an easier time than 2008 &#8211; at least for those willing to engage in a little market-timing. And thats although I expect rallies will only be bear market rallies within an ongoing bear market.</p>
<p> 
<p>Why an easier time then?</p>
<p> 
<p>Last year my newsletters market-timing strategy portfolio gained 9.2%, one of the very few advisory services that were up for the year in which the S&amp;P 500 lost 38.5%, hundreds of mutual funds and hedge funds closed due to heavy losses, and even best investor in the world Warren Buffett was down 31.8% for the year. But it wasnt an easy year. The extreme volatility made for stress, and the need to stick with mutual funds and ETFs due to the higher risk in individual stocks took some of the fun out of it.</p>
<p> 
<p>The outlook is different in that regard for 2009. Of the many stocks that plunged severely last year, some plunged for good reason, while others sank in sympathy with the market, or were sold simply because mutual funds and hedge funds had to sell something in order to raise cash to meet their record level of redemptions.</p>
<p> 
<p>I believe that has quite a number of stocks on the bargain table, which is a lot different than when 2008 began.</p>
<p> 
<p>One I mentioned to you in my December 26 column was Zimmer Holdings, symbol ZMH. Zimmer is about as far away from the troubled financial, housing, and retail sectors as you can get. To remind you of what I said in December, the company designs and manufactures orthopedic implants, including joint, dental, and spinal replacements. I believe its 54% stock plunge last year was overdone, and recommended its purchase. Its up about 2% since that Dec. 26 column. The encouraging thing about that is how well it held up even as the S&amp;P 500 plunged back down 10% over the last two weeks.</p>
<p> 
<p>In my newsletter this week we featured another individual stock, which may have appeal to those looking for income as well as those seeking potential capital gains.</p>
<p> 
<p>It is Cedar Fair, symbol FUN. Cedar Fair operates popular regional theme parks, and water parks, in 13 states in the U.S. and one province of Canada.</p>
<p> 
<p>The parks include Cedar Point in Ohio; Knotts Berry Farm and Soak City USA in California; Dorney Park/Wildwater Kingdom in Pennsylvania; Valleyfair in Minnesota; Worlds of Fun in Kansas, Michigans Adventure Park: Canadas Wonderland in Toronto; Kings Dominion in Virginia; and Carowinds in North Carolina.</p>
<p> 
<p>Cedar Fair is noted for exciting rides. Its Cedar Point Park in Ohio offers 65 rides and 16 roller coasters, including Top Thrill Dragster, one of the worlds tallest and fastest coasters.</p>
<p> 
<p>In addition to thrill rides for the brave, the parks are family oriented with water slides and wave action pools, as well as attractions for smaller children themed around the Peanuts comic strip characters.</p>
<p> 
<p>While the recession is having an effect on attendance at theme parks, Cedar Fairs regional attractions, each only a few hours from large population centers, are faring much better than the destination-vacation type theme parks. The company just reported a couple of days ago that attendance in its 4th quarter was 8% higher than the same quarter a year ago, and estimated average daily spending per guest declined only 1%.</p>
<p> 
<p>The companys aggressive annual expenditures for new rides and attractions have always been key to keeping visitors returning, and Cedar Fair has announced expenditures of $62 million for 2009 additions, including a huge new coaster at its Kings Island Park in Cincinnati. Company president Dick Kinzel says, It is likely that many of the difficult market conditions we faced in 2008 will be present in 2009, and we will continue to focus on adding value to the guest experience through new shows, thrill rides, family attractions and special events. I believe we have an excellent overall entertainment package lined up for 2009 that will appeal to todays budget-conscious consumers.</p>
<p> 
<p>Revenues have increased in each of the last ten years. Going forward the worsening recession will probably have a greater negative effect on attendance (and the bottom line). But I believe that with the stock having plunged 57% along with the rest of the market, the potential negatives have been pretty much already factored into the share price.</p>
<p> 
<p>Cedar Fair may also have appeal for those looking for income. A limited partnership, Cedar Fair must pay out most of its earnings to investors in the form of dividends. The partnership has increased the dividend for 21 straight years. At the current depressed stock price the dividend yield is a robust 15.5%. Even if the company had to cut its dividend for the first time, the yield would probably remain at a high payout.</p>
<p> 
<p>Meanwhile, according to FirstCall/Thompson Financial, of seven analysts surveyed, three had a strong buy, three a buy, and one a hold rating on the stock.</p>
<p> 
<p>As always this is my opinion and there are no guarantees in investing, but I believe Cedar Fair is a good choice for 2009, for both income and potential capital gains.</p>

<p>The stock market should presentus with a wide variety of NEW hot stocks in 2009. Many of them are going to be new technology stocks that come from the nanotech, biotech, financial, energy, healthcare &amp; communications sectors.</p>

<p>Experienced day traders recognize that trading hot stocks on momentum can be the fastest way to make money in the stock market, especially on uncertain times like these.</p>

<p>If You decide to day trade stocks just keep always in mind that for a trader to survive and be consistently profitable, its necessary to keep things as simple as possible. To much confusion and technical indicators will most of the time make you slow in your decisions and froze you up when a good opportunity is right in front of your screen.</p>
