Strategies For Trading Stocks

By Mike Swanson

You and I both know there are no guarantees on how to make money on investing in stocks. From which stocks to buy, through when to buy or sell, the variables. You can only do your homework and believe your investigations are sound. There are three stock market trends that you may not be aware of and they are detailed below.

DEAD CAT BOUNCE: This is the effect seen when a stock price rises after a sustained period of downward movement. Often people start to buy again thinking the turn around has happened and then the stock drops even further.

What does it mean for me for stock trading? Because no one can predict when a decline will reverse don't rush in. But it may provide you a window to make trading gains while the stock is in this pattern.

A BELLWETHER STOCK: This is a predictive stock, one that usually indicates where the market is going to head.

What does this mean for me? These types of stocks may not be attractive purchases in their own right; there may be little chance of growth realization. But they are stocks to watch when predicting where the market will go next. The biggest investors in these stocks tend to be the big institutional investors.

THE JANUARY EFFECT: This is the effect that sees the beginning of a new year heralding higher stock prices in January. It has been attributed to tax factors and to investor sentiment. People often unconsciously expect prices to rise in a new year.

Why is this important? It has been shown in investigations that the January effect is real. However in recent years it has become more difficult to take advantage of. So it may be useful to watch for, but it is unlikely to be a reliable way to make money. - 23223
