I’m A Loser
May 21, 2007 at 7:57 am
It’s tough to admit it, but I come clean in this week’s Free Newsletter over at TheStockBandit.com and say that I am a loser.
We all go through stretches of tough trading, but if you know what you’re doing and you manage those losses properly, it’s amazing what can happen.
I’ve said before that trading is a numbers game, and this week I offer the proof of it, so be sure to stop by and read this week’s Free Newsletter for more thoughts on the topic.
By the way, you can sign up for the free newsletter on the Free Newsletter page at TheStockBandit.com and we’ll notify you every time one is published. An opt-in form is provided at the top of the page which puts you in full control of your email subscription at all times.
Trade well this week!

A New Look and Some Revisited Lessons
May 20, 2007 at 5:28 pm
Hope you like the new look here at TheStockBandit.net – I am excited about it!
As we wrap up the weekend, here’s a few links you might find of interest from this week last year. Of course, there’s also the Market View page at TheStockBandit.com which was updated today (and every Sunday evening).
There’s no substitute for preparation in trading.
Traders who keep a detailed journal can learn a lot from their results, and StockTickr Pro is an affordable and excellent choice.
Some are odd and others are entertaining, but I’ve always found it interesting to hear the superstitions of traders.
Trade well this week!

Learning to approach your trading with this mentality can have a very positive impact on not only your profitability but also your attitude as well. So be sure to stop by and read this week’s free newsletter for more thoughts on the topic.

Market Indexes Trying to Base
May 13, 2007 at 6:46 pm
The market indexes gave us a little of everything last week, with some rest, a selloff, and a rebound. Overall some needed rest was put in, but more of the same would sure be healthy. But with a solid uptrend still in place, there’s no telling if the bulls will allow it or not.
We may get some added rest from this point, but even if we don’t last week’s dip helped to shake up many charts of individual stocks, and that’s a good thing. No matter what you’re trading this week, be sure to check out this week’s Market View page over at TheStockBandit.com for a closer look at the indexes as they stand tonight.
Trade well this week!

Here are a few of posts in case you missed them from one year ago this week:
We all know we need discipline to succeed as traders, but most talk of it is in relation to losses. Don’t neglect The Other Side of Discipline.
The Great Expectations Series looks at the importance of trading goals in the post Eyes on the Prize.
Adaptation is the key to survival in the wild and in the market. Another post from the Great Expectations Series discusses the Chameleon Trader.
The Great Expectations Series wrapped up with the conclusion and a review of some key points.

Finding Value in Losing Trades
May 7, 2007 at 1:17 pm
This week’s Free Newsletter over at TheStockBandit.com discusses the topic of Finding Value in Losing Trades.
We all have losing trades, that’s just a function of trading. However, as long as we keep them small and manageable, we’ll be alright. More importantly, if we can learn to evaluate them properly, we can improve.
A loss means you’ve already paid the tuition for a trade, so why not look a little closer and get the lesson you’ve paid for?! So for more thoughts on the subject, stop by and check out the Free Newsletter at TheStockBandit.com.

Small-Caps Need Rotation
May 6, 2007 at 5:21 pm
The major market averages have been climbing steadily for some time now, with the large-caps leading the way. The DJIA and S&P 500 have each tacked on big gains in recent weeks, while the NAZ has followed along.
Lagging the others is the RUT small-cap index, but it cleared a big hurdle again on Friday that could mean good news for the bulls. In fact, if the large-caps can rest and the bulls can produce some rotation into the small-cap stocks, it would be very positive to keep the strength going in the market.
We’ve got a lot of scheduled news out this week with the Fed, economic reports, and the continuation of earnings season, so stay alert out there because news is a major factor in the market action. And be sure to check out this week’s Market View page over at TheStockBandit.com for a closer look at the indexes tonight before you start your trading week.
Trade well this week!
