Understanding The Market Cycles!

It is important that one has to understand this market dynamics to be able to benefit from it. The length of each cycle is different- Every market cycle is of a different length. Sometimes the cycle could last only for a year and other times for decades. Valuations are not constant- Valuation or the price to earnings ratio keeps changing and they differ from one cycle to other. So what may be expensive in this cycle may not be expensive in the next.

When Sir Isaac Newton Lost Millions in Stock Markets!

Isaac Newton was one of the smartest people to ever live. But being a smart physicist is not necessarily the same thing as being a smart investor. And, unfortunately for him, Newton learned that the hard way. In an updated and annotated text of Benjamin Graham’s classic “The Intelligent Investor,” WSJ’s Jason Zweig included an anecdote about Newton’s adventures investing the South Sea Company: Advertentie “Back in the spring of 1720, Sir Isaac Newton owned shares in the South Sea Company, the hottest stock in England.

What is the Nicolas Darvas Trading System?

Nicolas Darvas (1920–1977) was a dancer, self-taught investor and author. He is best known for his book, “How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market.” Trend following trader? You bet. From Time Magazine Monday, May. 25, 1959: Nicolas Darvas in Time Magazine Monevman Darvas’ methods would raise the eyebrows of most Wall Streeters. Instead of studying what Wall Street calls the fundamentals—price-earning ratios and dividends—he judges public enthusiasm, a method that works best in volatile markets. “In my dancing I know how to judge an audience,” he says. “It is instinctive. The same way with the stock market. You have to find out what the public wants and go along with it. You can’t fight the tape, or the public.” More: Darvas’ system is tailored to his job. Since he has to do trading from wherever he is dancing (he recently completed an Asian tour) he ignores tips, financial stories and brokers’ letters, has never been in a broker’s office. Basically, his approach is that
