This economic downturn has raddled the stock market, and it continues to plunge. Some are walking away with huge losses, especially in the automotive sector. Fortunately, there are some companies that are really starting to shine and progress.

# 1 – Exxon Mobile CP (XOM)

Fear not, Exxon is staying for good. Its not as risky compared to BP and Shell, and remains to be one of the most profitable companies.

#2 – ProShares UltraShort Technology (REW)

With a very impressive month, there is no reason to doubt them anytime soon. They began the month of February with a closing price of 76.07, and as of 2/26, a close of 81.66.

#3 – Activision Blizzard, Inc. (ATVI)

ATVI is certainly not as recession proof as we all have expected according to their last 6 months history. They have some huge games in development that I expect will shoot this company up to the sky later this year.

#4 – Safeway (SWY)

Safeway has been doing good so far this recession, and stocks have been a bit jumpy over the last few months. Don’t let that scare you. Their profits are still rising, with a recent report showing profits were up 12%.

#5 – Best Buy (BBY)

Since Circuit City announced they were going out of business, Best Buy has really been shining. Stock price has almost doubled over the last few months, and is looking very promising despite the economy.

#6 – Mastercard (MA)

Mastercard has limited credit risk, which keeps them in the safe zone. Last quarter Mastercard’s revenue grew 14%. With everything plastic nowadays, this company continues to prosper as it reaps rewards.

#7 – Netflix, Inc. (NFLX)

I was very surprised when I saw the history of Netflix over the past few months. Stock price has more than doubled since October, with a 19% increase in last quarter’s revenue. There are expectations for Netflix to break its record high price of 40.90 during the recession.

#8 – General Electric Co. (GE)

With poor results over the past year, it’s unexpected to find them on a top 10 list. However, with its recent dividend cut, they will have the cash they need to support their operations. Stock is priced very low which is making it very attractive, and expectations are rising for next quarter.

#9 – Dollar Tree Inc. (DLTR)

Prone to succeed in a recession, Dollar Tree has proven successful as shoppers are cutting expenses. They continue to expand and expect to add atleast 150 stores for fiscal 2009.

#10 – PetSmart Inc. (PETM)

Pet owners continue to shop for their loved ones, and spoil them on occasion. Some analysts are predicting this quarter’s sales to rise 15%. Support continues to grow along with the price of stock.

Two studies– one done by a group of executives and academics, and another that was conducted by McKinsey and Co. for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Senator Charles Schumer– have both reached the same conclusion. The conclusion being that excessive regulation is making the United States an uninviting place to sell new stocks, and singles out the Sarbanes Oxley Act, as the main reason. The act is the anti-fraud law that was passed after the debacle at Enron Corp. Both studies point to figures that show initial public offerings are migrating to Europe and Hong Kong.

The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is owned and operated by Deutsche BArse, which also owns the European futures exchange Eurex and clearing company Clearstream. It is the largest of all German stock exchanges, responsible for approximately 90 percent of the securities trading volume in Germany.

Today, with a total turnover of 5.2 Trillion a per year, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange strengthens its position as the world’s 3rd largest trade-place for stocks, as well as the world’s 6th largest by market capitalization. *It facilitates advanced electronic trading, settlement, information systems, as well as enables cross-border trading for international investors.* It offers many advantages to companies looking to take that first step into becoming a public company, but who do not want to do an IPO (Initial Public Offering), due to the length of time it takes and the cost.

The Frankfurt Stock Exchange offers ease, speed to market, and low cost when it comes to listing a company. The ease of entry to the Open Market is due to the fact that audited financials are not required, and there are no asset or revenue requirements. Companies can be listed and trading in as little as 12 weeks for less then $170,000. Other benefits of listing with the Frankfurt Stock Exchange are the relaxed regulations that allow U.S. listed companies to avoid the punishing burden of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that U.S. public companies must adhere to if they’re listed on a U.S. Exchange.
Also a Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing further allows European investors to buy shares in North American companies in their local currency and helps establish a more significant presence for these companies in Europe and Asia. Going public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange not only opens a company up to new investors, it also opens a company up to new markets consisting of over 100 million people in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Liechtenstein. European investors wanting to invest in Canadian and American companies pay higher brokerage fees if they have to buy the stock on the North American Market.

The typical transaction fee a European investor is subject to, buying directly from the North American markets, is usually 15 to 20 percent of the invested capital. However, having a company listed on the German stock exchange, an investor will see those fees drop down to one tenth of the original fee, thus providing the European investor cheaper and easier trading conditions for Canadian and U.S. stocks. Also worthy of note, the German government provides tax incentives for German investors who hold their stock for a year or more. The day trading ratio in Germany is only at five percent.

Having a listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange will provide an air of not only legitimacy and prestige, but also stability to any company. For those who may be worried about the perception of their company or its public appeal, having a listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange will increase a company’s public perception. This is key to providing a company with the resources and ability to expand the company, as well as raise capital.

Furthermore, a listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange puts a company on the radar of the more affluent retail and institutional investors, searching the European stock exchanges and other financial websites, to help make their investment decisions. With a new investment climate in Europe, and changes in the OTC market in Germany, the time is now ripe for U.S., Canadian, and other foreign companies to enter the European public markets.

Combine that with the fastest rate of growth, the highest earning per person in the EU, and the strong euro, and you can see why so many companies today are not going public on the NASDAQ, Bulletin Board, or Pink Sheet, but are headed straight to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE).

What Are Sub-Penny Stocks?

Many people, who are not too familiar with the world of stock trading, are unaware of the different kinds of trading stocks available. So people often wonder about what are sub-penny stocks, when they come across the term for the first time. This type are those stocks that are traded between the price range of $0.0001 and $1.00. These stocks are generally traded over the counter or by use of quotation services including OTC Bulletin Board and Pink Sheets.

As per records, sub-penny stocks trading can run into millions of dollars during the course of the day. These generally come across as attractive trading options for new investors who are drawn in by the extremely low price of the stocks and perceive them to be a means of gaining rapid profit, in case they gain quick value in the market. However what many investors are not aware of is the fact that these cheap stocks can cause much loss for them in the long term.

Even though many people feel that stock trading is a very easy way of making profits, it is in fact much more complicated than it seems. People not only need to be well informed about various trading stocks and the various factors that affect their market value, they also need to be fully updated about the risks involved and the market fluctuations that can help in causing the downfall or rise of a particular stock. This is especially true for people who deal in sub-penny stocks.

Cheap stocks like sub-penny stocks, might seem quite alluring but they are quite risky as compared to high trading stocks. There is no chance of recovering the money once an investor faces a downfall in these stocks. Moreover, there are numerous scams involved with trading of cheap stocks as they are quite often promoted to enhance various illegitimate pump and dump schemes in the stock market.

So to be on the safer side, it is always advisable to do trading in high trading stocks. Even if a downfall occurs in such stocks, there is always a possibility that the stocks will reach back to its highest point thus enabling stable investors to recover their money as well as earn a good profit. Even though sub-penny stocks provide instant profit, it is only short term and also involves much risk, making it best avoidable for stable investors.

Beginner traders often fantasize or wonder about how some people are able to achieve tremendous profits by trading stocks just a few hours on a daily or weekly basis.

In the stock market it’s not impossible to watch a stock move up dramatically in a matter of hours or days. Investors and traders can make great money and fatten their wallets every time this happens.

This would seem fantastic for any one that want’s to try their fortune in the market, but the problem is that if you don’t know what stocks to pick and how to manage your trades you won’t be making as much money as you want to, and you probably would be losing some of it. That’s why the most important factor about stock trading is the decision FILTER you apply to make your trades.

There are alot of “extraordinary” stock pick programs and trading systems out there, but you need to test them in order to discover which ones deliver the best results. That’s part of your homework as an online trader. Test once, test twice and then test again until You are sure You are going to be making high profits consistently.

Complicated stock trading strategies that rely on a “boat load” of technical analysis indicators can make you slow, and being slow when trading stocks can be as dangerous as not knowing what to do in the first place.

The ugliest thing that can happen to a beginner stock trader is to get information overload. It’s better to go step by step, and use a practical trading strategy that can show you how to focus on concrete and simple ways to make money while picking strong stocks once at a time.

So going farther than the hype that a lot of the “investing gurus” like to pump, the only “secrets” of the stock market are enclosed within the trading set ups and market signals you rely on to decide how to pick stocks, as well as WHEN to BUY & when to SELL them, or even when to SHORT SELL those that will lose value.

So the clearer your signals are, the easier it will be for You to spot a highly profitable trading opportunity and ACT ON IT by reducing your risk.

In essence, You can be sure that the trading method you employ to approach the stock market and pick stocks can make a big difference in your results as a trader.

Day trading shouldn’t be complicated as many people think. But You must follow a very well organized set of strategies & tactics, that once you master them, you can aspire to replicate BIG profitable trades with consistency.

Fortunately a few trading systems can show you how to take advantage of top stocks every day. One of them is Practical Day Trading.
