There are two major ways to consistently make money in the market: 1) Hunt for several huge winners in a year. Build large positions in them and ride them for monstrous gains. 2) Hunt for hundreds of 5% to 30% short-term winners, where the goal is to compound capital quickly by actively moving in and out of them. There is not right or wrong approach here. Both have place in the arsenal of each active market participant. Everything comes at a price. If you want to catch a 200% to 300% long-term winner, you have to be willing to sit through multiple consolidations and several bigger than 30% pullbacks. Not everyone has the stomach to ride big stock market gainers, but maybe you don’t have to. If you sell all your winners, when they are up 20%, you will never catch a double or a triple. Fact. What is also true is that in any given year, there are a lot more 20% moves than 100% moves. If you learn how to catch hundreds of quick 5% to 20% moves, your capital could appreciate very quickly while you keep you keep the drawdown in your account to a minimum. Swing trading is among the fastest way to grow capital if you learn how to properly apply its principles. Swing trading is all about velocity and opportunity cost of capital. The goal is to stay in stocks that are moving quickly in our favor and avoid “dead money” periods. Stocks move in 5% to 30% momentum bursts that last between 2 and 10 days, before they mean-revert or go into sideways consolidation. The goal of every swing trader is to capture a portion of a short-term momentum burst, while avoiding consolidation periods. Then to repeat the same process hundreds of times in the year by risking between 0.5% and 1% of capital per idea. The beauty of swing trading is that it provides many signals. You don’t need to risk a lot per signal. You won’t second-guess yourself whether to take a signal or not. One trade is not going to make your year or your month, but it also won’t ruin it. It relies on the magic of compounding. The idea is to grow capital quickly by being leveraged to the hill during favorable periods and being mostly in cash during unfavorable periods. I know that if you apply the principles I describe in this book, you will become more knowledgeable, more profitable and happier market participant. Here is a brief overview of what you could expect to learn: 1) What drives short-term market moves? How to recognize perfect swing setups; when to buy them and where to put your stop losses. 2) When to sell and how. 3) How to be more profitable. How to improve your success rate and where to hunt for big short-term gainers. 4) How to manage risk properly. How to decide how many shares you should buy of every stock you like. How to check if you have an edge in the market. 5) How and why to time your market exposure. The paper version of the book is super thin, because of its huge dimensions of 8"x10". 84 pages with about 30 colored charts with annotations. Letters size is 14 with 1.5 spacing. It could be read in one sitting. There is no fluff. Only practical, actionable information that could be applied right away. Here are some brief reviews from Twitter and StockTwits: @BarbarianCap · I read @ivanhoff swing trading ebook. A must-read for trades and investors interested in what others do. @BarbarianCap In the book @ivanhoff lists his screens with lots of chart case studies; sizing; judging the health of the market, etc. Good stuff. @BrattleStCap: Ordered @ivanhoff book on swing trading last night, well worth the $10, great primer/refresher for anyone who ever puts on short-term trades.

This is not a book about the company or the stock Apple. This is a book about finding the next Apple or at least finding hundreds of “mini-Apples.” In 2003, Apple was a $5 billion company. In 2015, it is a $750 billion company, basking in the sunlight of everyone’s attention. $10,000 invested in Apple in 2003 is worth $1,500,000 today. Hindsight bias could make investing seem extremely easy. Past winners are well known; future winners are usually an enigma. Is it really impossible to know in advance which stocks could become the next Apple, Google, or Tesla? The good news is that there will be hundreds of stocks that will go up 500% or more in the next decade. Do you know how to find them? More importantly, do you know how to profit from them? The biggest stock market winners spend a lot of time on the 52-week high list. Everyone knows that. It is common sense. There are some years when over 1,000 stocks show up on the 52-week high list. We cannot possibly own them all. How could we further reduce the universe of stocks to which we should be paying attention? “Do what you love and success will follow” is the most frequently given advice. Is “Invest in what you love” an equally bright idea? Does past performance impact future returns? The answer might surprise you. How to find the best performing stocks in any given year? It is a little counter-intuitive, but if you do what everyone else does, you cannot expect to achieve superior results. George Soros says that the market could predict its own future. Is the market always correct? More importantly, how does that affect you as an investor? Timing is everything in investing. When is the absolute best time to buy stocks? Some trends last only several quarters before they fade, while others continue for years and deliver fantastic returns. Sooner or later, every trend ends. This is not an opinion. It is a fact. How can you make sure that you keep your profits when a trend inevitably ends? These and many other intriguing questions find answers in Ivaylo Ivanov’s and Howard Lindzon’s latest book: The Next Apple – How To Find Stocks That Could Go Up 1000%. Get your copy. In fact, get all your friends a copy. Get one even for your in-laws.

The Next Apple: How To Own The Best Performing Stocks In Any Given Year

Lindzon, Howard

The odds of an investor experiencing a big market crash during his/her life are 100%. A well-diversified portfolio might save you from losing money in any 10-year period, but it also might “save” you from achieving high returns over time. Diversification won’t save you from experiencing big drawdowns during market panics when correlations go to 1.00 and all assets move together up and down regardless of underlying fundamentals. Paul Tudor Jones says that “once in a hundred years events” have started to occur every five years. Obviously, his comment is more of an anecdote than a statistical fact, but it is also a reflection of a timeless market truth – the obvious rarely happens, the unexpected constantly occurs. The stock market is not a place, where for one party to win, another has to lose. It is a place, driven by cycles – periods when almost everyone is a winner followed by periods when almost everyone is a loser. Everyone could make a lot of money during market rallies when liquidity and performance chasing lift all boats and trump all bad news. Not everyone keeps that money when the inevitable correction comes. They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well, if you do the same things over and over in financial markets, you are guaranteed to get different results. Markets change; luckily in a relatively cyclical manner; unluckily the duration of each cycle is unpredictable. Patterns repeat all the time because human mindset hasn’t changed for thousands of years. Since 1980, the S &amp; P 500 has had an average intra-year decline of 14.2%. In 27 of last 35 years, stocks have still been positive for the year. Corrections come a lot slower than anyone expects, but once they happen they escalate faster than most could imagine. The typical correction has distinct stages that vary in duration and require different tactical approach: 1) Quick and wide-spread leg lower that ends with a momentum low. 2) Oversold bounce. 3) Choppy period, that whipsaws both bulls and bears. 4) A Retest of the momentum lows with breadth divergence. 5) A Recovery The history of U.S. stock markets has been a perpetual long-term uptrend interrupted occasionally, but very consistently by shocks. Most of those shocks take the form of short-term drawdowns that come and go. Some corrections turn into bear markets that last more than a year. They say that almost everyone loses money in bear markets – both bulls and bears. Bulls because they stubbornly hold on to positions in favorite companies and some stocks never recover from deep drawdowns. Bears because they get squeezed during the violent rallies that happen under declining 200-day moving averages. Bear markets should be respected, but they should not be feared. They require a different approach than what most are get used to in bull markets. I wrote this book mainly to serve as my own guidance, to organize my thoughts and learn more in the process. Keep in mind that everyone has his own agenda and bias, including me. The following pages present the perspective of a trader, who believes in active portfolio management and stock picking. The thought process and observations that I share here might not be suitable for everyone. By reading this guideline, you will become better educated in the following subjects: How to protect capital during market corrections When to raise cash, take profits and sell long holdings When and how to hedge How to remain calm and protect your confidence during corrections How to make money on the short side during market corrections How to survive extremely choppy periods during market corrections How to be flexible and prosper during long bear markets How to recognize market bottoms How to make money during market recoveries How to use social media during corrections

Crash: How To Protect and Grow Capital during Corrections

Different setups work in different markets. Everyone makes money in a bull market. Not everyone keeps it when the market goes into correction or a range-bound, choppy mode. A good trader is able to adapt to changing markets. There are four major types of markets and each of them requires a different approach: Uptrend, Range-bound, Downtrend, and Bottoming Process. In this book, I show you how to recognize each market environment and how to best approach it. This is one of the most practical trading books ever written. It doesn’t waste your time with personal stories of grandeur. It is all about setups - what setups to trade and when, why they work, how to find them, how to trade them, where to exit. It is a complete game plan for any market environment. And since I believe a good picture is worth a thousand words - there are 140 annotated charts with examples for all ten major setups discussed in the book.

Top 10 Trading Setups: How to Find them, When to Trade them, How to Make Money with them

It’s not a secret that many enter the options world because they are undercapitalized and want to get rich quickly. No one wants to get rich slowly by averaging 8% a year. The only way to get rich by making 8% a year is if you are already rich. Options trading can be very challenging. Developing traders are attracted by the leverage options offer, and professionals love the ability to manage risk in a more precise way. Options are not the magic solution to any problem under the sun. They will magnify your trading weaknesses. If you are a lousy, impatient trader, options will help you lose your money quicker. If you know how to pick stocks, size your positions properly, and time your market exposure, options can help you boost your returns significantly. In this book, you will learn: • How to use momentum to find stocks that can go up 30% to 100% in 3 to 6 months. When to enter and when to exit those stocks. Which options strategies to choose to ride those powerful trends and potentially achieve 500% to 2000% returns. • Why options can be a superior risk management tool and how to use them to enhance your returns in momentum stocks. • How to size your option positions so you don’t blow up your account. • How to use weekly options for swing trading. When to use options for swing trades and how much to risk. When to buy them and when to sell them. • How to handle the mental side of trading and become consistently profitable. • How to manage your overall market exposure and create a plan you can actually follow. This is an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand guide filled with practical examples, market wisdom, and hundreds of annotated stocks and options charts. There are no complicated and sophisticated options strategies. Everything is as simple as possible. I hope you will enjoy it and find it extremely useful and maybe, even eye-opening. If you read and liked one of my previous books, you will absolutely enjoy this one. With that in mind, I like to keep expectations reasonable: If you expect complex multi-leg non-directional options strategies and a magic recipe, this book is not for you. Don’t waste your money. More importantly, don’t waste your time. But if you want to learn how to consistently pick stocks with great upside or downside potential, how to express your bullishness or bearishness via simple call or put options, what type of options to buy - what duration, what strike, when to buy them and when to sell them, how to manage risk and achieve superior returns, then this practical guide might be what you have been looking for.
