Stock Market Forecasting

Stock Market Forecasting – An Exercise In Futility, A Huge Waste Of Time, And Why You Don’t Have To Do It Anyway.

I get really amused when someone asks “What do you think the market is going to do in the next few months?” As if anyone had some “secret knowledge” of stock market forecasting.

Now, like anyone else, I can come up with any one of several different scenarios of what I think the market will do in the future. And I can really sound “smart” when I expound on the future stock market trends based on what the Fed will do with interest rates, looking at chart trends and extrapolating them into the future, etc.

But here’s the real truth when it comes to stock market forecasting. It really doesn’t matter one iota what you or I think the market will do in the future. The market is going to do what the market is going to do.

Remember, the “market” is made up of human beings. These human beings have these things called “emotions” that will go bonkers to the “fear” side of things, then will go berserk to the “greed” side of things. That’s related to another thing called “human nature”. Can you confidently say you are able to predict how humans will react to anything 100% of the time? I rest my case.

But what if there were a way to effectively measure and monitor these human emotions at any point in time – especially as they relate to stock market investing and trading? That would be a much more useful thing to have,than the ability to forecast the stock market over a broader time frame.

The truth is, and this is where 99% of investors and traders go wrong, you don’t have to know where the market is going, you just have to know what it’s doing today.
And you know something else? Human nature is not going to change. It’s the same today as it was 2,000 years ago, and it will be the same 2,000 years from now.

A certain Japanese rice trader family in feudal Japan – over 400 years ago - tapped into this concept, and developed a system of rice trading that made them the equivalent of billionaires in their time. They developed a series of little markings on rice paper that indicated whether the price of rice was going to go up or down the next day. These little symbols look like candlesticks, and today the system is called the Japanese Candlesticks charting system.

And guess what we discovered over the past 400 years? This system works for any tradable entity with a high, low, open and close price. That includes the stock market of individual stocks. These patterns tell anyone who learns the intricacies of the system the probable direction of that entity the next day, especially at key reversal points. Using this system, you don’t have to know what the market is going to do six months from now, because you can tell with reasonable certainty what the market will do the next day!

The ancient Japanese rice traders called this concept “let the market tell you what the market is doing.” And the system is a visual depiction of human emotions, especially at the extremes of fear and greed.

So now you don’t have to worry about stock market forecasting. Not when you have a system to measure human emotions in the stock market each and every day.

Stock Trading Tip

The Best Stock Trading Tip I Can Ever Give You: Don’t Believe Any Stock Trading Tips!

It’s amazing to me the way some people approach stock market trading and investing. Especially when it comes to relying on stock trading tips.

These tips come in all shapes and sizes, and from many different sources – now more than ever in our age of “Information Overload”. We are bombarded by stock trading tips from newsletters, the Internet, coming over our faxes (which is actually illegal now if you never asked for them!), cable TV, radio, mail solicitations, magazines, from people at cocktail parties, from the cab driver and shoeshine guy (OK – that’s getting a little obsolete now) and even as spam over our email, disguised as personal mail!

But here’s one of the worst places you can ever receive stock trading tips, and one that more people rely on than any one of the sources above. And that is your personal stockbroker.

I won’t get into the many reasons why that is true, but suffice it to say, your stockbroker is NOT your friend, at least 99% of the time.

It’s a sad fact, but there are certain people in the world who take much more time planning out a simple family vacation, or doing research on what car or major appliance to buy, than in doing the necessary (and extremely easy, once you know how to do it) work in deciding the best places for their investment or trading capital.

I guess most people are just naturally lazy when it comes to this. Or maybe they just don’t think they have the ability to go out and find these great stock investments and trade setups on their own.

So they rely on these spurious stock trading tips. And then wonder why they don’t make money in the stock market. They call stock trading “gambling”, and say things like “you just have to be lucky” to make money in the stock market.

The funny part is, this has been going on for decades. That’s why I think human nature must be somehow involved, since human nature never changes.

The most injurious use of these so-called stock trading tips is when they are based on some sort of “inside information”. As if the average person can have access to that! Besides, if you act on “inside information” and it really is that, you can go to prison! (Just ask Martha Stewart).

I do not know of a single case where anyone has been able to make money consistently by following information of this character, even when the information comes to him first hand.

If everyone only knew how easy it can be to find market-slaying stocks on their own, without relying on these fantasy tips and false hopes. And that just happens to be our mission here at Trade Your Way To Wealth!

Japanese Candlestick Signals 1

Japanese Candlestick signals are the result of hundreds of years of successful rice trading. Successful is really an understatement. The Honshu family refined the technique. Observing the highly accurate reversal signals not only made them wealthy, it made them legendary wealthy. Their influence is the basis of today’s Japanese investment philosophy, stemming from the observations derived in Candlestick analysis.

The basic function of investing in the stock market is to make money. However, few investors develop a trading program that puts the probabilities in their favor. If searching for the “Golden Goose” of stock markt investment programs, the criteria would be simple; well researched, proven track record, and easy-to-identify reversal points.

All three of these elements are incorporated into Candlestick signals. Hundreds of years of rice trading resulted in the identification of high probability, profitable trades. Make one assumption. The signals would not be around today if it were not for one convincing result. PROFITS! Candlestick signals exist today because of hundred of years of actual profitable trades. Not computer back testing. Not questionable results. Profits produced from utilizing the signals are the only reason we are witnessing these signals today.

Reversal points were identified by rice traders using very simple charting techniques. You can take advantage of these clear, profitable signals. Japanese rice traders used the same information found on a standard bar chart. The difference is that they put more weight on the open and closing prices as well as the high and the low of a time period.

Learning how to use the signals correctly is now easy and can provide tremendous stock market investment profits.

Beginner Stock Trading

Are You A Beginner At Stock Trading? Is It Your Destiny To Be A Stock Trading Pro In Just Thirty Days?

If you are a beginner at stock trading, you may feel overwhelmed. After all, there are hundreds, if not thousands of different systems, strategies and techniques you can choose from to try to master stock trading and investing.

Value investing, growth investing, fundamental analysis, technical analysis – where do you start? You certainly have a plethora of choices.

What if someone came up with a totally visual system, tried, tested and proven in the real world for decades, that almost forced you to be profitable? And what if that system combined the best parts of all those other strategies? Finally, what if you could master this system in thirty days or less? More on that in a minute, but first…

Do you feel you are destined to become a great stock trader? Or do you feel you can defeat all odds thrown in your way, and just decide to be one? The following article will shed some light on that subject.

Can We Decide On Our Own Destiny? Fate, destiny, resignation – they all seem to be synonyms up to a certain point. But, what if your whole life you’ve been a fighter and simply refuse to surrender in a certain situation? Can we rebel against our own destiny? Can we truly decide the way that we are going to follow in life? These are all questions with no definite or final answer, but nevertheless, everything related to this matter also depends on our determination, our strength to defeat the obstacles we meet before reaching the ultimate aspiration.

A lot of people, who have been remarkably good at doing something during their lives, including business, sports, science etc, confess that fate seemed to be against them at the beginning and even throughout their career. Most of them lived completely different lives before being successful and they are proud to remember those times. It was indeed hard, most of them say, but they wanted to get to the top badly; nothing could have held them back from getting where they wanted. They also admit that they never dared to dream they would be so famous or successful in the future.

All these facts make us wonder, whether an apparently pre-established destiny can be modified or completely changed, if we manage to prove we really want something and we are determined to go all the way to get it, no matter what. And if we indeed can change fate, to whom should we demonstrate what we’re capable of? Could there be a way to modify the data, which composes the famous book of life, just as easy as correcting something on a computer? And if that is true, how do we know that there wasn’t a mistake in the first place, and our determination does not do more than correct it?

Obviously, all that was presented before represents suppositions. Nevertheless, since there are different people who testify that their lives changed, this increases our confidence that we can do it too. If we can’t control our destiny, we can, at least, contribute to what’s happening to us during our existence.

Maybe, although we were supposed to have a less fortunate destiny, if we treat others the right way, if we are always honest and always mind the truth, somehow bad fate will go around us, showing us that we can make our own destiny. On the other hand, we cannot help wondering what happens to a person who starts off with a wonderful destiny, but during his or her life commits a series of unpardonable mistakes. Will that destiny change? Could it be true that we actually get the destiny we deserve? Persons who suffer tremendously for having lost somebody dear to them or persons born with a disease or a handicap, will answer no! There are a lot of innocent people in pain, so the theory that we get what we deserve is not always accurate. But what if we have to pay for the errors others committed? Would that make us think deeper before carrying out something we are not really proud of, fearing that some innocent human being will pay, in the future, for our present actions?

There is no doubt that opinions are split when it comes to such a subject. However, meditating on this kind of themes helps us understand ourselves better and, hopefully, gets us closer to appreciating our fate and destiny.
