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.

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.

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.

That includes publicly traded stocks, CDs, mutual funds, annuities, bonds, stock options, futures, etc. In fact, if you are an active swing trader or day trader, you will be able to trade your IRA in a manner that your current broker does not allow you to buy or sell Options (Calls and Puts). Or maybe you would like to write Covered Calls or do Spreads and

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.

Stocks are types of securities that represent the ownership in a corporation, that is, the owner of the stock becomes the owner of one part of the company. There are two types of stocks: common and preferential ones. Stocks are very interesting to investors because of their differing returns.

The number of stocks owned will depend somewhat on the size of your portfolio. In periods where we believe the stock market is "high", we may want to own more stocks to achieve greater diversification. Unlike many portfolios managed by individuals, we will own many more than five, ten, or fifteen stocks.

How did your GrQ/8 long & short portfolio perform each year from 2001-05? I really like your system, but want to see how it did in the tough years of 2001, 2002. After a few years, I have decided that daytrading is not for me. It seems the real money is made by sitting. Is it possible to get Porfolio Archives prior to March 06? I would like to see the performance of your hedge fund portfolio in 04 and 05.

You ask a very important, and very difficult question. I can say that we are ourselves face this dilemma 3 times per year on average, which is the number of times the stock market gives new buy signals. (Some years such as 1995 and 2003 never give a sell signal, but those are rare.) So each time we put our entire portfolio long we face the possibility that the buy signal would prove a failure, and that we will lose some money as the sell signal soon emerges.

Investors and traders may do what they want with the information we provide. Newer subscribers may want to look at the stocks that have risen less than 15% since purchase, and those that have fallen less than 5%, thus remain near the prime buy position. All have great fundamentals, so it is difficult to use that as a deciding mechanism. The GrQ/8 is perhaps the best portfolio for those looking to use a more concentrated approach, with the GrQ/25 better for those looking for more diversification.

No. If they are buying or selling stocks for their own fund simultaneous to buys or sells for Masters' Select, they would apply an allocation process that would be fairly applied. However, because of the high conviction level required in a Masters' Select portfolio, there may be times when the sub-advisor sells a holding out of Masters' Select that still qualifies as a hold in a more broadly diversified portfolio.
