The Best Stock Market Trading Strategies – Investment Ideas For Beginners
What are the best stock market trading strategies? Is the old fashioned ‘buy and hold’ strategy dead? The economy is failing, companies are collapsing and the increased volatility of the stock market seems to have made all of the best stock trading strategies redundant. Or has it? The media would have you believe that stock trading is becoming more and more risky by the minute. In actual fact professional traders love volatility, why? Because unlike the average investor they are privy to the all of the best stock market trading strategies that are available.
The media will tell you ‘putting all of your financial eggs in one basket is a dangerous’ and the ‘stock options trading is too risky’ and ‘forex trading is not for individuals’. All of these statements are wrong and are simply there to keep the uniformed scared and poor.
Lets have a look at some of the Best Stock Market Trading Strategies that most people don’t even know exist!
- Renting Shares
- Naked Puts
- CFD Hedging
- Forex Trading
- Options Trading (short term and long term)
Just to name a few. Let’s have a look in some more depth at why these really are the best stock market trading strategies that are available and why your brokers haven’t told you about them.
Everybody always says that diversification is a must, all so called experts tend to highly recommend it yet have you stopped to think about it. If you buy dozens of different stocks your investment portfolio is basically representative of an index. That’s fine but wouldn’t it just be easier to buy an ETF that tracks the price of the index? Of course it would but your broker would never agree to this because they would lose out on valuable commissions. Instead they will probably recommend that you buy multiple managed funds that all pay them handsome commissions.
Although they rarely agree on anything else, brokers and financial advisors seem to always invest in a wide range of stocks. This basically assures you of mediocre results as even if you bought the well performing stocks you are more than likely to have got some bad ones too.
So what can you do to increase you knowledge of the stock market basics and in turn develop your stock trading strategies? Read everything that you can. Learn a day trading strategy even if you have no intent of using it, start reading about ex dividend dates and how you can take advantage of them, buy some stock investing software, do everything think that you can to create your own personal stock market trading strategies. It is only when you truly understand it yourself that you will be able to come up with the best stock market strategy in the world.
I believe the natural progresson towards becoming a successful investor goes like this. Education equals Knowledge – Knowledge equals Action’s – Actions equal Success. Without the proper education you will never have enough courage to take the appropriate action and deal with the hard decisions.

American Investors: Make Your Stock Trading More Profitable
For years, I have been advocating a trading strategy to my readers that can still be profitable today: buy American stocks in Canadian dollars.
As the U.S. dollar continues to deteriorate in value against other world currencies, precious metals and the Canadian dollar have been rising in price. In March of 2009, .00 Canadian just bought .80 U.S. Today, .00 Canadian buys .02 U.S.
So let’s pretend in that, March of 2009, an American investor bought ,000 U.S. worth of shares on the TSX, Canada’s equivalent of the NYSE, and let’s say that stock sold for .00 Canadian. You would end up with 500 shares of the stock.
Almost two years later, you sell the stock at the same price you paid, .00 Canadian. But when you convert your proceeds, 500 shares at .00, you get back ,790 U.S. You made 27.9% just on the currency exchange, as the U.S. dollar has been falling in price against the Canadian dollar.
That’s not all…
Since March of 2009, the TSX has gone up 79%. Hence, being invested in Canadian stocks has generally doubled money for American investors over the past two years.
But there’s more…
With the U.S. dollar expected to continue falling in value against other world currencies, with precious metals prices nowhere near their top, with interest rates in Canada expected to continue rising, the strategy of buying quality stocks (many of which are American companies) on the main Canadian stock exchange is still a very profitable strategy for American investors.
For the more adventurous, buying quality Canadian stocks on the TSX will prove to be an even more profitable strategy. Canada is rich in resource stocks and the TSX is home to some of Canada’s biggest resources companies.
How to invest in stocks: you can buy Barrick, Newmont Mines, Goldcorp, Silver Wheaton and others on the NYSE, but why not buy them on the TSX where you can also profit on the currency play?
Michael’s Personal Notes:
If there is a company that has become a dinosaur, a company that has not kept up with the times, and a stock that I believe is ripe for short sellers (I don’t say that often on these pages), it is Sears Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ/SHLD).
Sears is still the largest U.S. department-store chain. The company reported last week that its fourth-quarter profit fell 13% after same-store sales declined during the holidays. Christmas 2010 was the best season for retailers in three years—except for Sears. The market and consumers are favoring more target retailers that have niches. Sears fails to fit this bill. It has not carved out a niche; it continues to be “the store for everything,” which doesn’t work in the Internet age.
Sears’ stock is down from a high of 0.00 in early 2007 to .00 today. Unfortunately, unless a private equity firms buys Sears and sells off its hard assets, I don’t see much of a future for this dinosaur stock.
Where the Market Stands; Where it is Headed:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average opens this morning up 4.7% for 2011. It’s the end of February and stocks haven’t fared too badly so far this year. Sure, there’s a lot going on with the markets these days between the civil unrest in Libya, spiking oil prices, and concerns over China’s economy needing even more cooling, but, when in doubt, I go back to the basics.
There is plenty of money on the sidelines ready to enter this market, too many advisors are calling for a market correction, and the more problems in the Middle East, the more American stocks become a safe haven. Short to long term, I believe that the U.S. has insurmountable economic problems. But immediate term, there continues to be few alternatives to American stocks. Immediate term, stocks are going up.
What He Said:
“In 2008, I believe investors will fare better invested in T-Bills as opposed to the stock market. I’m bearish on the general stock market for three main reasons: Borrowing money in 2008 will be more difficult for consumers. Consumer spending in the U.S. is drying up, which will push down corporate profits.” Michael Lombardi in PROFIT CONFIDENTIAL, January 10, 2008. The year 2008 ended up being one of the worst years for the stock market since the 1930s.
