Wealthy Barber finished….. now what?

/ July 3, 2009 / make money, stocks / Permalink

So I’ve just finished (last night) reading the Wealthy Barber by David Chilton. I honestly don’t think that it can be understated how much I think it’s important that EVERY CANADIAN reads this book. I know a lot of people summarize and think “oh.. that’s the guy that wants me to save 10% of my [...]

First TimAlert trade – so far no good – GROW

/ June 4, 2009 / make money, stocks / Permalink

Well, I’m sure I’ll get criticized for not doing my research and sticking to the ‘rules’ he lays out, but I’m thinking that unless I go with the SMS alerts ($10 more for Canadians).. TimAlerts are going to be pretty much useless to me. Reason being, by the time I got the email.. reserved shares.. [...]

First of all let me tell you that I do this.. and in the words of Barney.. it’s Awesomely Legen… wait for it…….. dary.

Just posted my first buy/write strategy purchase – LYG.

/ June 2, 2009 / make money, stocks / Permalink

Well.. as I posted a few days ago on how to purchase a stock for 15 – 20% off the current market price, I have done just that with a stock which I believe is going to go up and I’d like to be a part of it. LYG So as you can see, this [...]

First TimAlert made.. GROW – the stock that got me interested in stocks

/ June 2, 2009 / make money, stocks / Permalink

This is very ironic, the US Global Investors.. or GROW as it’s known on the NASDAQ, was one of the first stocks I ever traded and made a bunch of money on.. in fact, I remember I could have made a LOT more, but got out at $35.50 or so when it ran up to [...]

Giving TimAlerts another shot

/ May 28, 2009 / make money, stocks / Permalink

Ok.. even though Tim never responded to my initial review.. I don’t hold it against him… Christ.. how can I? The guy has done unbelievably well.. now up over 355 % and is making a killing online in blog revenue. That said, a lot has changed since that last review.. most notably, I have decided [...]

All over the board.. just like the market.

/ February 24, 2009 / make money, stocks / Permalink

Well.. I can’t seem to obtain a grasp of the market.. what once was a good way to day trade, seems very choppy lately and no one quite has a good handle on where it could go. A very good resource I use is looking at the S&P going to 600 – 650.. while most [...]

Wow.. did I ever go wrong with BAC.. out now.. big loss.

/ February 18, 2009 / stocks / Permalink

Well, I can definitely admit when I’ve made a mistake.. and I made a big one with BAC. Not only did it not bounce, I would have made a small fortune if I was short instead of long.. or knew how to get out at a loss for that matter! Fortunately for myself, I didn’t.. [...]

Nervous… own a large stake in BAC..

Well.. I’ve decided that I’m going to post some of my trading experience on my blog.. I really don’t have a reason for it. But I don’t know, I don’t have anything to hide, and if I make a trade which I someday make $200,000 on.. I’d love to know where I started and look [...]

CMC Markets Review – Canadian CFD Brokerage

/ February 16, 2009 / make money, stocks / Permalink

Since I had canceled my account with TimAlerts, I was searching for a new style of trading. I have tried options selling with limited success (for now), I have tried simply buying and selling regular stocks with no margin, and I find it almost impossible to make any sort of real money in a reasonable [...]
