Breakouts and Resistance

Breakouts through resistance are the most desirable of all trade opportunities. (This discussion will be the buy opportunity discussion of breakouts. (An equal sell opportunity exists on breakdowns through support). A breakout is a penetration of resistance based on a pricing established over time with price reversals taken place at approximately the same price point in previous time periods.

Sounds easy. Well it sure sounded easy when that guy in the $1000 seminar told me about it. I also read how easy it was in the $90 book on trading that said would make me a wealthy independent trader.

Breakouts are wonderful if they continue. If they fail you can expect the pricing not to trend but to return to a range bound probably touching the lower pricing before it rises again. That price movement is probably beyond your stop loss and you will not be pleased.

This occurs more often than you want to believe. Since so many other people see the breakout they are as nervous about it as you are and you have a larger number of quick exits with the slightest wiggle. This is referred to as “buyers remorse” or a “bull trap”. What this really represents is a serious hit against your P&L.

Remember, breakouts are a product of an established range bound market. The continuation of the sideways market is the rule with a move away from support or resistance back into the trading range. That means a failed breakout is the rule. The breakout is the exception. Some traders believe the reverse is true. That can cost you a bundle of cash in trading losses.

Do You Have What It Takes to Start an Investment Club?

Do you have the prerequisite qualities that allow you to start a stock investment club?

First of all, what is an investment club? It can be simply defined as a group of people who share a common interest in investing in the stock market, and pool their resources to make a large investment in the stock market.

So are you the ONE to start an investment club?

Answer these questions:

1) Are you looking to make fast money?

If your answer is yes, this is not for you. You should consider investing on your own. That will have higher risks of course.

A main feature of the investment group is to start to learn how to invest your money and to invest for a long term rather than a short one.

2) Are you an expert on the stock market?

Take the investment club as an oppurtunity to learn the ins and outs of investing, as a group, and slowly. So be prepared to be an amateur, to learn from the group, and offer your wisdom and share your knowledge. If you stand out as being the odd one out with plenty of experience (and pre-conceived notions about the stock market), you may not do well in this setting.

3) Do you want to make a killing in the stock market?

Again, be realistic. You will be learning along with the group, makeing mistakes along the way, and enjoying successes as well. If you have dreams of striking it rich, you will be starting the club for the wrong reasons.

4) Do you have lots of money to invest?

You don’t need a lot of money to start an investment club or to pay the dues and monthly contributions. When you combine your investment dollars with the dollars of others in the club you’ll have a significant amount of money to invest in the stocks that you’ve been watching and think may be successful.

5) Do you always make decisions on your own or unilaterally?

One thing that you should keep in mind is that your voice
will be part of the larger group and you may not always have a say in which stocks you want to invest in. If you’re unable to sit back and let another decision take the place of something that you would rather see, then an investment club might not be for you.

After going through the questions above, you will have a better understanding of your suitability to start an investment club. If you answered NO to all the questions above, then you may be the ideal person to start your very own stock investment club, so go for it!

Need Some Help? Think About Getting a Grant.

Do you want to go to college? Help the community? Start a business?

Do you wish there were a way to improve the quality of life of your community?

Have you ever said, “I really wish this could happen, and I know I can make it work, but I just don’t have the money”?

The United States is a country built on Opportunity, and people who have come here in pursuit of the American Dream. The government knows that�and supports that.

Every year, the United States government releases billions of dollars of grant money to be given to deserving organizations and individuals.

Jumpstart your business!

A large portion of it, at least $30 billion dollars, are given to entrepreneurs to provide free business assistance. These are coursed through 80 government agencies, who not only release the checks, but provide valuable advice and information to assist and evaluate the projects. That’s money and financial counseling from experts�for free!

Jumpstart your career!

The US government also grants student grants both for undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Now you can complete your research project, publish that academic paper, and earn the respect of the academic community. Now you can take that college course, get your degree, and secure the career and the lifestyle that you’ve always dreamed of.

Help your community!

The US government grants are also used for community development projects. Have you ever wanted a center where children can safely play? Or a school for young single mothers who need to finish their degree or learn vocational skills to support their family? Present your idea, and you may get the money to make a real difference in your community.

The Government releases these funds through over 3,000 private and government agencies. The question is how do you know where to go, what do you need to do to apply for the money, and what’s the best strategy so you can actually have your request approved?

With millions of people applying for government funding, and stricter budget measures making it more difficult to qualify for the money, it’s important to position your project or business in a particular way.

You don’t just send an email to a government agency. You have to do this carefully, systematically, using tips and strategies from people who know the grant process inside out.

Find out who to approach.

Most grants are coursed through a strict screening process which determines if your request “matches” the requirements and objectives set by the agency that handles the money. The worst thing you can do is to send your grant to the wrong organization.

Structure your proposal in an irresistible manner.

Organizations wade through thousands of proposals a week. How do you make yours stand out? What information are they looking for, what standards do they apply, and how do you package yourself or your company so that you will look like an ideal candidate?

Discover your needs and options.

What kind of grant do you need? How much? And is a government grant the best way to get funding? There are other ways of securing investment; find out if a grant can meet your requirements, or if you fail to secure one, what other opportunities are open to you.
