Very few (share) investment "gurus" actually beat the monkey. Warren Buffet is the most famous exception. Joel Stern (from EVA - Economic Value Added fame) talks about the lead steer concept - the herd always follows the lead steer, and the lead steer is the one making the money. The other are to a lesser or greater degree behind the curve.

Gaining more money most likely.

Wow, if someone knows the real effect, it would start profiting from the idea. Later, it would be useless.\n Still, inter-market behavior is very productive and can give you some edge in trading. Commodities prices influence companies related to the commodity in question. Ex. oil.\nOption and future markets easily affect stock market trading. It is believed that future and option players are smarter, wealthier, and better informed that securities traders so a big trade in any of those market will influence stock trading rapidly. For example, if a big player wants to raid the market (make it go lower), they sell S&P futures, leading to program selling to start. If there is weakness in the market, a pretty good sell-off is guaranteed.

It works - if you have a system. \n\nSure it is volatile. But that's one ingredient you do need in a market if you are trading for quick profits.\n\nOne simple technique is to examine the news release predictions, make your own mind up, make a decision of how it will affect the price and just enter the market with a close stop loss.\n\nIf you get stopped out when the data is against you, then you live to trade another day. If you don't, well that means the trade went for you and you made some moolah...\n\nGood Luck!

Here's a decent look at the money side from the publisher's point of view.\n\nhttp://alg.livejournal.com/84032.html

Thank you for asking this!!  I don't see what the big deal is, either.  Any of us could pull off his gig...  Hopefully he's putting his cash in a 401K or something so when his 15 minutes are up, he'll have something to fall back on!

As I understand, it is shifting asset allocations.\nMostly seems to be fee based turnover of funds from here to there!

It depends on if he is selling it for profit or for loss. Be specific, please.

Last I heard, David Faustino was selling Time Shares.  Funny, huh?

Forget about 'rich dad..' It is a rubbish bestSELLER. The author just wanted to get rich... Any directions here would be useless. At least in theory markets are efficient and any really WORKING strategy (if anounced) will attract myriads of ambitious profit seekers like you. The opportunuty will be wiped out. The equilibrium will restore.\n\nTake introductory courses in finance and psychology. It may be useful to undermine your adolescent maximalism.\n\nAnd do not forget to vote for the best answer!

Here's just a small part of why the dollar is weak and none of that's good. It is correct that it will make the trade deficit LOOK better than it is. The stock market has very little to do with the economy-it has to do with buying and selling. For the most part, the stock market today loves the inflation numbers which say inflation is low overall, but largely because it includes prices of vehicles, clothes and luxury items most of us can't buy. Food and housing costs are way up-and that's what most people need first. Corporate earnings are falsely inflated by cost cutting not by true growth. Our ever-increasing deficit-yes, our Treasuries-our US debt is 51% foreign owned. China is our largest foreign debtor. Most pundits as well as the administration don't want to tell us the bad news because US optimism-the will to shop-and the US consumer's desire to ignore problems-leads to "growth" and "profits". Sure, War is Peace and Debt is Wealth.\n\nLONDON (AFP) - The dollar sank to a 20-month low against the euro and a 14-year low against the pound as investors seized on weak manufacturing data in the US to drive the currency lower, dealers said. \n\nThe Chicago PMI index of business activity fell to 49.9 in November from 53.5 in October, well below analysts' expectations for a pick-up to 54.5, data showed.\n\nAnalysts said the data could portend a fall in the closely watched ISM manufacturing index which is to be published on Friday.\n\nCalyon currency analyst Mitul Kotecha played down talk of a recession in the US, which has been driving heavy selling of the dollar in recent days.\n\nThe euro has gained 3.7 percent agaist the dollar since November 21, taking it from 1.28 dollars to its present level of 1.32.\n\n"It's maybe too early to talk about a recession," said Kotecha.\n"Clearly the risk of a recession has increased in recent months.\n\nBank of New York currency analyst Michael Woolfolk said the Chicago PMI, combined with other income and spending data, "were the one-two punch that knocked the dollar back on the ropes, leaving little doubt over the near-term direction in the beleaguered greenback".\n\nLONDON (AFX) - The dollar stayed weak, hovering around the 1.32 mark against the euro and staying at 14-year lows against the pound following disappointing US weekly jobless claims numbers. \nUS jobless claims surged by 34,000 to 357,000 in the week just gone, well below analysts' forecasts for a fall in claims to 314,000, although the figures are likely to have been distorted by the Thanksgiving holiday. \nThe news broadly offset a stronger-than-expected core PCE deflator, the measure of inflation favoured by the Federal Reserve. \n"A larger than expected rise in jobless claims, even though the Labor Department says the Thanksgiving holiday skewed the data, is being emphasized by the market more than the unexpectedly firm core PCE deflator," said Jamie Coleman at Thomson IFR Markets. \nThe PCE measure showed that core inflation rose by 2.4 pct on an annual basis, above expectations for a more moderate 2.3 pct.

OC is back in the market (i think it was in bankruptcy) and it is actively trading on the nymex. GRA my only issue with it is the income growth at a negative 42.70% that is way more than enough to keep me away from it. Not to mention a P/E ratio of 83.9 WOW! That is way too high. I wouldn't touch this with Osama's money.

They're all good to watch. Not many worth buying, unless you like being manipulated.\n\nAnyone with a million dollars or so can pump and dump these stocks and send their prices soaring, so that you get in, then plunging, so that you lose everything very fast. \n\nOr the average guy, you for example, can start a new company building furniture. It's decent stuff and you have it built in the Caymans so your cost is cheap and you make money. Take the company public and issue stock with an IPO. \n\nWhen the stock soars on the IPO, sell your shares and start a subsidiary, and put all your money into that new company making T-shirts. Of course, the furniture company's stock fell considerably, because you took all of the cash out. \n\nWhen you make money on T-shirts, go public, and when the IPO soars, sell your shares, and buy back the furniture stock at depressed levels. Of course, the T-shirt stock goes down the tubes, because you pulled the cash out, but hey, you're making a killing onthe stock.\n\nThis is legal manipulation. You've been warned. Penny stocks are very risky for a reason, or lots of reasons. Buy something with known value, that's been around awhile, and will continue to be around. So what if you can't buy as many shares? You can still double your money, and reduce your risk in half, by investing in the future of a stable company not ran or manipulated by shysters.

Aaaah....now you have unearthed the massive conspiracy known as capitalism of proverbs.  It's a plan cooked up by the big cheeses and fermented wines of large corporations [i.e., McDonald's and McMickey's and McGoofy's] to hack into your bank account and withdraw one penny every time you use the respective adages.  After you use the proverbs enough times, they will have withdrawn enough money to launch a new branch of restaurants.  These restaurants will churn out fried bits of cardboard for the general public, thus generating more income for the big cheeses and fermented wines.  And Elmer Fudd shall rule the universe.  \n\n\n\nWould you like fries with that?
