See Dr. Ron Paul Up Close and Personal at the 2013 Casey Summit / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Casey_Research
He’s never voted to raise taxes. He’s never taken a government-paid junket. And he’s never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He’s Dr. Ron Paul, and he’s always led by example. During his 36 years in Congress, he tried to convince his colleagues to vote along with him against any measure that ran counter to the Constitution. Unfortunately, they seldom did.

Five Point Test for Every Investment / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Don_Miller
The issue is no longer one of waiting to see what the government is going to do; the real issue is what are we as investors going to do?
When I say the investment paradigm has changed, I’m referring to a combination of factors. There are no more solid, safe investments paying any kind of decent yield that most retirees could possibly live on comfortably. Re-read that if you have to. Investors are being forced to take on more risk for yield. Some are doing it using an income strategy, some are not.

Growing Wealth With Stocks: Expectations vs The New Reality / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Dan_Amerman
The number one reason why stocks are a core component of most long-term financial planning strategies is their purported ability to reliably compound wealth over time.
How has this theory been working out in practice?
The world has been going down a vastly different economic and financial path than what many people in the 1980s and 1990s assumed it would. And within this new reality, there is a key question to be asked: how has real-world performance compared with typical projections of what average investors could expect when it comes to the growth in value of their investment portfolios over the long term?

Should You Invest with Borrowed Money? / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Don_Miller
It’s high time investors heed the yellow caution flags waving in front of their margin accounts. Much like the NASCAR driver who pumps his brakes to avoid disaster when he sees the caution flag, it's time for us to slow down. My friend and colleague Ed Steer, editor of Ed Steer's Gold & Silver Daily, recently highlighted a must-read Wall Street Journal blog post focusing on the record-high levels of margin debt, and it sure made me pause to think.

Nadeem Walayat's Trading Lesson - The Psychology of Technical Analysis, Past, Present and Future / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Nadeem_Walayat
If you have read my past trading articles and ebook's you should understand that I consider Technical Analysis in large part to be a red herring in terms of the decision making process with regards trading. In that technical analysis assumes knowledge and understanding of past price history as the key towards trading success i.e. that the outcome of past price patterns are likely to repeat in the future and thus should be acted upon when they re-occur.

Investor Lessons from Bell Labs / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: John_Mauldin
Investors seek that elusive substance called alpha. It is too often remains hidden from them, and instead they find some form of beta, or simply what the market gives everyone. Sometimes, in secular bull markets, that can be plenty and investors feel secure. But in the secular bear cycles investing is a difficult task and one that at the end of the day may find you distressingly close to where you started.

Are You Preventing Yourself From Getting Rich? / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: "Why is it that people seem to plan for everything except success?"
My colleague Bill Patalon who heads up Private Briefing made that comment to me recently during one of our after-hours chats. We've held them almost every day for the past 7 years since we started working together.
Long after the markets have closed and most of the team has gone home, "BP" and I talk about the events of the day by phone. No matter where I am in the world, I look forward to the 15 or so minutes we spend together.

Understanding Market Cycles to Improve Stock Market Trading / InvestorEducation / Cycles Analysis
By: Sam_Chee_Kong
A cycle is a chain of events that repeats over time. The outcome might not be the same each time but the characteristics are quite similar. Take for example the four season weather. Each year we have spring, summer, autumn and winter. After winter we have spring again and the cycle of weather will begin anew itself again. However this year’s summer will not be the same as last summer as the temperature varies every year.
Cycle frequencies can both be short and long, it can last from minutes until thousands of years. Understanding long term cycles in stock market helps you determine the overall market trend and similarly short term cycles helps you determine your timing in the entry and exit points in the stock market.

One Man's Devastating Loss... and How to Avoid It Yourself / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: DailyWealth
Dan Ferris writes: Tubs of Fun is a simple carnival game.
You throw a softball into a plastic tub from a few feet away. The object is to make the ball stay in the tub.
It sounds easy, but it's not. The ball is too bouncy, and the tub is too hard. It's difficult to keep the ball from bouncing out of the tub. The player has the illusion he's throwing a ball into a container. But he's really just throwing it at a solid wall.

Trading Using the Moving Average Convergence Divergence MACD Technical Tool - Video / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: EWI
"Guessing or going by gut instinct won't work over the long run. If you don't have a defined trading methodology, then you don't have a way to know what constitutes a buy or sell signal. Moreover, you can't even consistently correctly identify the trend." -Jeffrey Kennedy
Jeffrey Kennedy is an accomplished teacher and a Senior Analyst here at EWI. Yet he often says that the Wave Principle alone is not a trading methodology. It does not tell you how much trading capital you can afford to risk, or specific guidance about which entry or exit levels are best suited for your trading style or where to set your protective stop.
