Check out Mr. Market's new forum!

Mr Market's methods really work. I have been investing profitably from some of Mr Market's selections. Here is some of MrMarket winners I watched since June after he mentioned them the first time in his top 5 selections:

SSYS +61%
MAXF +32%
APPX +65%
CSNT +15%
FCFS +38%
ASFI +24%
COH +11%
ADVP +25%
SFCC +41%
OZRK +12%
CMBC +9%
NARA +9%
PRX +18%
SYNO +14%

Some of the stocks he mentioned went down but at the maximum of -17.45% which was BSTE. Limited losses, unlimited winners. The winners more than compensate losses like these. To me that seems a good formula for investing, to say the least.

He follows a very well defined method of selecting stocks and then explains clearly the reasons why he bought the stock. You cannot be more transparent than that.

ALAN - a penny stock that popped up on my screen yesterday

Utilizing wrist-worn inmate transmitters and belt-worn officer safety units, Alanco's TSI PRISM tracking system tracks and records the location of everyone in a prison facility every second of every day, providing a unique historical database for post-incident investigations and disciplinary proceedings. Proprietary anti-tampering features automatically detect and record any attempt to remove transmitters worn by inmates and staff. Inmates quickly learn that they are being continuously monitored and can no longer hide their activities nor depend on a "silent" inmate population to cover their prohibited behavior.

The Profit Hog's Volume Spike Alert strikes again.

tip from TheWheelerman in the TEI Board

The simple 28 days moving average method

From the BeyondTEI Yahoo Group:

Buy or hold stocks trading above the 28 DMA and sell stocks going below the 28-d Daily Moving Average.

This method have studied by the Chicago School of Business and explained in the Stock and Commodity magazine. As per the investor Johnamj from the Yahoo BGO board, if you just traded 5 Fidelity Select funds, kept the money in only funds trading over the 28 DMA, on average over a 10 year period you would return about 33% per
year.

Another investor from the BGO board, fcaseymgt, described an experiment he did with the aid of a statician. He tried similar methods with 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, and every plus 5 days until periods of 60 days. He noticed that the best relative performer was the 25-30 day period over all histories 1989-1998. Shorter terms produced noise and longer periods failed at turns.

Even if there were no reason for this method to work, it seems it would have the ability to tell the investor to keep the winners and sell the losers soon.

Some of Taipan Group's predictions III

Aging Baby Boomers will increase demand for healthcare: This aging generation refuses to behave older as the previous one did. The try to extend their lifestyle through sports, cosmetic surgery, fitness equipments, medicine, hair re-growth and a lot of other methods. Companies that make new drugs, generic drugs with patents expired, anti-obesity and age related drugs can profit in this scenario.

As baby boomers age, the demand for retirement, assisted living and healthcare facilities will also increase in the next 10 years.

[A good company would be ICOS Copr. It manufactures Cialis with Eli Lilly & Co. Cialis is a competitor to Viagra that produces instant erection and no side effects. I still need to find out about a company that dominates about 400 drugs, mostly injectables. There is another company has drugs that cure metabolic disorders, melanoma, asthma and leukemia and has deals with Park-Davis, Proctor & Gamble, Pfizer and Hoffman-LaRoche. Another one has a diabetic drug with growing sales and another company is the number one in over-the-counter sales.
