Tough Times: The Fire Within
Tough Times
Trading stocks can be rewarding and challenging. Too many times, many get all bent out of shape from loses.
I felt a little artsy and wrote the following:
The Fire Within
Knowing thyself not perfect,
Struggling to walk the straight line,
Setting the example for others to see,
To be followed in time.
Jagged edges prick at me,
Yet I continue patiently,
With goals forseen from gifts of sight,
It fuels my fire within to fight.
Patience, hardwork, are weapons indeed,
For challenges chipping away at thee,
Of heart, of fortunes, of health alike,
Focus of mind will bring you light.
Relentless valor of body and soul,
Against darkness that tests your virtue,
Push forward, summoning strength from within,
Rewards from your efforts await you.
!! Have A Great Weekend Everyone !!

Penny Stocks: Good vs. Not So Good
Penny Stocks: Good vs. Not So Good
Investing in Penny Stocks can be a great way to earn big profits, but it can also be the fastest way to lose it all.
Yes, my own portfolio has penny stocks, and I am ready prepared to lose it all.
The Good
Educate yourself & do heavy research before investing in a company's Penny Stock, or you could be sorry you didn't.
And I repeat again:
Investing in Penny Stocks can be a great way to earn big profits, but it can also be the fastest way to lose it all.
Yes, my own portfolio has penny stocks, and I am ready prepared to lose it all.
IF YOU INVEST IN PENNIES, INVEST WITH MONEY YOU ARE PREPARED TO LOSE
The Good
- PRICE: With Penny Stocks usually at a price of $5.00/share or less, you can use a small amount of money to buy a large volume of shares to add to your portfolio.
- LARGE PROFITS: Penny Stocks are often part of a company that's growing. If a company finally becomes established, then the price of the Penny Stock will shoot upwards in a very short period of time.
- EXTREMELY HIGH RISK: Though you could make a huge profit in a very short period of time with Penny Stocks, you can lose it all just as quickly. Companies in trouble will issue Penny Stocks to the public to earn quick money to clear debt. If unsuccessful, the company dies off and you've just lost all your money.
- NO RULES: Penny Stocks are not regulated in any way. In many cases, a scam-company is created to issue Penny Stocks to gobble-up your profit before it is disintegrated. Hence, you just lost all your cash. It can happen from one day to the next and there is nothing the Securities Exchange Commission can do about it due to lack of rules governing them.
Educate yourself & do heavy research before investing in a company's Penny Stock, or you could be sorry you didn't.
And I repeat again:
IF YOU INVEST IN PENNIES, INVEST WITH MONEY YOU ARE PREPARED TO LOSE

REMEMBRANCE
My own, original Memorial Day poetic tribute:
REMEMBRANCE
Our brothers and sisters stand united as one,
Each service, all part of the same mission,
With service before self, working tirelessly,
Sacrificing blood and limb so all may live free,
The fallen, the living, the heroes who gave,
With great distinction we salute you today,
The planes, the tanks, and the burning torch,
Our country’s freedom is worth fighting for,
Facing all enemies, all fears in the face,
In your honor we continue to serve in your place.

AAPL: Apple Inc.'s 7 to 1 Split, The What & The Why
AAPL: Understanding the 7 to 1 Split
OK ..... We all recently heard that Apple Inc. had a 7 to 1 split. Isn't that great news? Do you even know what this means. I am going to try and make it simple.
Simple Math
Splitting a stock means you have more shares, but with stock value equaling the same before the split. It's like changing a $5.00 for 5 $1.00's. Instead of 1 bill, you now have 5 bills, but the value is still the same.
More Simple Math
Before the split :
- You own 200 shares of AAPL @ $600/share = $120,000 value
After the split:
- You own 1400 shares of AAPL @ $85.714 = $120,000 value
Even though you look and see that your value hasn't really changed. Now you have more shares of AAPL stock that will hopefully reach $600.00/share.
- You own 1400 shares of AAPL @ $600.0/share = $840,000 value
The Why
What purpose did Apple hope to achieve by doing this?
- With the stock price lower now, investors can buy more, not just 10 shares, but 20.
- With the stock price below $100.00/share, it can now be listed in the Dow Jones Industrial Average as one of the world's largest companies; there is a lot of prestige that follows this.
Hopefully, I've Made It Easy To Understand ..... Trade Well!

GLCO: Eye Catching Marijuana
GLCO: Eye Catching Marijuana
Today's focus is on Global Links Corp.
Global Links Corp., together with its subsidiaries, designs, constructs, and sells affordable factory-built homes in underdeveloped countries worldwide. It is involved in developing affordable housing projects using proprietary stackable housing designs; and providing a service whereby members can exchange goods and services for trade dollars in place of cash. The company was formerly known as United Trading.Com and changed its name to Global Links Corp. in February 2003. The company was founded in 1952 and is based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
OK .... With That Said
What made GLCO catch my eye? ..... Yup, it's trading OTC Pink. So we know it may be a dangerous stock to invest into. Was it an ad that may have caught my attention to look at this stock? Nope.
It was the MARIJUANA :-)
21 of 50 states have legalized the use of medical marijuana, and Florida would become a big addition to this growing trend. GLCO has begun a process of capitalizing on the business of marijuana, and I think investors took a note of that.
Take a look at the most recent GLCO 5-day chart:
Holy macaroni Batman. That was quite a spike. Yeah, you see a little dip after the spike, but that's normal. With few businesses venturing into this type of business, I think investing in "weed" is a good idea. I think the climb should continue steadily with GLCO to soon reach the $0.50/share mark.
I'm Willing To Put A Small Gamble Into This One.
!! Peace & Trade Well !!

Stock Market Dip, Keep Cool
Stock Market Dip, Keep Cool & Hold
Just a quick blurp to say, "I know many of you are kicking your teeth in today because the Stock Market took a dump, but KEEP YOUR COOL & HOLD your positions." It'll go back up again.
The market used the Russian / Ukraine news to scare everyone into oblivion and sell. This could have been a strategic move by investors bring prices lower so they can buy at the dip. But this is just a little dip which should last no more than a few days.
Again, KEEP YOUR COOL & HOLD .....

What Have I Added To My Watch List
What Have I Added To My Watch List
Just a quick blurp about what I am now watching which I think could take off like a rocket:
Over the past month, they have made steady gains. If you compare the two, these two stocks do follow each other. Their trading pattern during the day, to me, is optimum for day-trading.
Economy
Beside the numbers [false or true] our government announces, the economy really isn't as bad as it seems. Just look the malls during the weekend. Sometimes you can't even find a parking spot. I believe the housing market is up for another boost due to our economy.
!! Good Luck & Good Profits Today Folks !!

The World's Banking Turmoil
The World's Banking Turmoil
Did I hear right? Banks around the world are DEMANDING the U.S. Federal Reserve to update federal policy as it tapers on bond-buying?
What is that? ..... We have been aiding world financial institutions at the cost of our own economic country's stability.
Giving $$$ Away
Here's my STRONG opinion on this issue.
Ever since our country's leadership decided to provide stimulus to help the world's economy, the U.S. has been handing over billions and billions to foreign banks each year.
And what did the foreign bank do with all that money? ..... Absolutely nothing. They are still in trouble because banking reforms were never executed.
Did they think they were going to be spoon-fed our $$$'s forever? ..... I think not.
We have to begim giving ourselves our own profit now to rebuild our own economy. So whichever country says that our economy is lagging behind, we have been aiding your economies and now it is time to move ours forward.
So ..... OK ..... The stock market has been taking a nosedive, but it will recover. The market's volitility has been necessary because it forces foreign institutions to change, hopefully, for the better.
!! Reduce Tapering I Say !!

Gold: At The Sidelines Waiting
Gold: At The Sidelines Waiting
I just want to get in a quick 'blurp' in about gold today.
Prices for precious metals has been slipping recently. When the fed reported they would taper on bond-buying, stocks soared and precious metals like gold did not. The price even fell below $1200.00/oz at one point. On top of that, mining labor, equipment costs, and related services almost doubled.
So How Will Gold Get Back Into The Game?
Gold may need to reach the $1250.00/oz before it can stabilize and move forward. As I believe the economy is still not as strong as being reported to the media, the price of gold, as well as other precious metals, should pop when our continued economic weakness has been realized.
!! Don't Give Up On Gold Yet !!

Low Price Stocks, Great Time To Buy
I also said that low-end stock were a great buy right now. Seize the opportunity to get'em while they're down before the big players make a move on them.
Then 'cha-ching' into your bank accounts.
In Summary, The Correction
The smaller priced stocks have bottomed out. There is definitely a correction coming because the market cannot conitnue climbing at such a rate. When that happens, these lower-priced stock will bounce.

DLIA: Great Opportunity Here
DLIA: Great Opportunity Here
I'm not always right, but I share with you my findings nonetheless.
I did a little homework and the following company sparked my attention: dELiA's, Inc. (DLIA)
This company operates as a multi-channel retail company in the United States. It develops, markets, and sells apparel, dresses, swimwear, footwear, outerwear, and accessories primarily for teenage girls through direct mail catalogs, Websites, and mall-based specialty retail stores under the dELiA*s brand name. As of February 2, 2013, the company operated 104 dELiA*s stores in 33 states. The company was founded in 1997 and is based in New York, New York.
A Time To Accumulate
Though the company is going through a little struggle, the stock price [currently trading at $0.84] was low enough to where I even had to buy shares for myself.
Take a look at the 6-month chart:

Take a look at Wet Seat [WTSL], Aeropostale [ARO], JCPenney [JCP]. They are currently trading 52-week lows as well.
I see great promise for [DLIA] this one where it night make a bold move to stabilize @ $4.50 when the ripples have calmed a bit.
