After you become our member, you can look at all of our current holdings. If a stock's current price is lower than our purchase price, you got a better deal. If a stock's price has gone up but not too far (less than 5%), you still can take a position. If a stock has gained more than 50% since its purchase, it is better to wait for another buying opportunity. If a stock has been held for almost one year in the portfolio, be careful, we may sell it soon.

The "wonderful" results of most systems are often the result of computer modeling and the ability to pick the best curve to make the retrospective data appear most positive. When followed prospectively many of these models perform much more poorly.

When we need a new buy, we look at all great AK companies who are in buy mode that have the overall technical look we seek, and then triple check everything. The company's fundamentals, overall chart pattern, and overall technical look as of today, scores much higher in our opinion than when the new buy signal was issued.

Within the portfolio tracker, click on the links under the portfolio to get current quotes, analysts ratings, valuation and ratios, insider trading information and news. If you'd like more information, click on the company ticker to get a Corporate Snapshot. From there, you can see stock charts, financial and balance sheet information, SEC filings, industry information and much more.

We do have a target price in mind before investing in any equity. That target price is our one year goal for that stock under the assumption that all the information we gathered for that particular stock is still valid after one year. Remember, the target price is our one year price target. There will be bumps as the stock price gradually reaches toward our goal.

It is important to be diversified if you can. Instead of placing all your money on one stock, spread it out among three separate stocks. For example, if you had $3,000 to invest, place $1,000 on three different stocks. When one sell, replace it with another.

Not all stocks that we buy/sell are penny stocks. We generally seek stocks $5 and under. In fact, the reason we trade these type of stocks is because that is where the money is to be made, there would be no way in the world to make 5,000% on your money trading stocks priced over $5, especially starting with only $2,500. And the same goes for daytrading as well, trading stocks over $5 is not only more difficult, but it's also much less profitable.

The alphaking system uses both fundamental and technical analysis, for our research shows that both are equally important. Only 10% of stocks in the stock market have all the fundamental elements required to be labeled an Alphaking (and we only buy those stocks meeting the full criteria in our portfolios.) Being labeled an AlphaKing stock is our systems fundamental seal of approval.

Most foreign securities are issued in bearer form so you could buy stocks anonymously through a Swiss bank or other foreign brokerage firm. The foreign broker would have your name and address, but you could close out your account after you purchase the stock and take delivery of the certificate. In the U.S., the SEC requires all securities to be registered in some name. But you can obtain registered stock in your company name, a trust or even in "street name.

No. As a matter of fact, a large portion of our clients do not own any stocks at all. We work within your risk tolerance to determine the right investments for you.

Many of us use different methods such as darts against a stock wall, crystal balls or, my personal favorite, the incantation of spirits. Stock determination, though, comes from just hard work on your due diligence. Tips may come from all sources but one must investigate the company as much as possible. After analyzing all the information, bring it to the Rat Crew for an open forum discussion. Just like Roman times, the crew will give a stock their thumbs up or down.

The answer really depends on your overall personal portfolio. If you have other assets (such as a fully paid house, an art collection, or investment property), you might need as few as four stocks. If all of your assets are in the stock market, you might be better off with as many as fifteen or more. The important point to remember is to spread your risk over all of your assets.

Globe Portfolio has split-adjusted prices for stocks after December 31, 1998. For this reason, we recommend that you track your stocks only after this date. If you wish to track stocks prior to December 31, 1998, you should adjust for splits by dividing the purchase price for a split and multiplying for a consolidation. Our system will then adjust for any splits after December 31, 1998.

We should not lose sight of the name, Statistical Trading. The statement that 66% +/- 4% are winners implies that there is a very HIGH degree of confidence that there will be at least 30% losers. If the first two that you choose are losers, it could take quite a while to recover your initial losses. In order to maximize the probability that your portfolio will realize close to the statistically predicted return, you want to spread your investment across as many issues as possible. Back to Top
