additional risks before trading.




Leverage allows traders the ability to enter into a position worth many times the account value with a relatively small amount of money. This leverage can work with you as well as against you. Even though the Forex market offers traders the ability to use a high degree of leverage, trading with high leverage may increase the losses suffered. Please use caution when using leverage in trading or investing.

2. Introduction

This short eBook is meant as a general introduction to stock (and commodity)

trading. It is based on my personal view on trading and should be used only as a

good start point for your future education. This eBook covers the following

items:

• The reasons why to trade stock market and commodities

• My own view on trading including the strategies and resources I use for

my daily trading

• Introduction to basic stock trading terms and concepts

• Few examples of trading ideas and new trading opportunities

So why I am in a position to teach you about trading? Several reasons:

• I love to share my knowledge and insights with other traders

• After 6 years of FX trading I can say I’m experienced currency trader, forex

blog owner and strategy programmer, visit my blog at: www.coensio.com

• In the last several months my test account (real money on a real broker)

grew more than 140%. So, I must have been doing something right ;) An

http://www.coensio.com/http://www.coensio.com/http://www.coensio.com/http://www.coensio.com/



example of my last trading results is here: see chapter 21. See also my

newest update on my YouTube channel.

You can always disagree with me on several points, this document is not meant

to prove or disprove anything, it just summarizes all the things I do to trade

stock market with a decent profitability. I hope you will enjoy this lecture. If you

have any questions you can always contact me on my email address.

I wish you all the best,

Chris,

[email protected]

3. Why to trade stocks (and commodities)?

There are several reasons for that, so for example I trade stocks because:

• I love trading and everything about it

• I want to grow my capital over time

• I learned that it is much easier to become profitable in trading stocks than

become profitable in Forex trading (I will explain it later)

• I do understand the risk of trading and I trade very carefully

• Most of the stocks come with a nice dividend, a simple concept that can

boost my long term results

4. Introduction to my trading strategy

In my daily and professional life, I always adapt this one simple motto, which

says:

Keep it simple!

And so far, it works quite well for me. Thus, also in case of trading, I do not make

things too complicated. Since this eBook is only a very short introduction to

stock trading, I will try to explain my strategy using a simple example:

Imagine you are collecting stamps. You are a real “stamps” lover (philatelist) and

you always wanted to have as many beautiful stamps as possible in your

personal collection. Let’s say your favorite stamps are rare stamps from

http://www.coensio.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=petqAU30zF0&t=6s



Switzerland. You love everything about those small pieces of paper, their colors,

beautiful designs and their diversity. You also know that:

• there are many other people like you, that are collecting rare Swiss stamps

• their value is fluctuating over time but in general it is expected that the

value will rise due to low supply/demand ratio and many other factors

• the chance that the value of rare Swiss stamps will drop to 0 is extremely

low

So what do you do it this case??? Here is what I would do:

I WOULD BUY RARE SWISS STAMPS AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE,

AND I WOULD BUY AS MANY STAMPS AS I COULD GET!

This kind of thinking, together with some basic trading knowledge, is the only

thing you need to learn, in order to become successful in stock trading. And it is

not based on some tool or indicator or some holy grail push button software to

make you rich overnight. It is based on the best concept you can learn in your

life:

THE COMMON SENSE!

I hope you will remember this simple advice, it can really transform your life…

5. The fundaments of profitable trading

Few years ago (in 2010) when I started my trading adventure I was completely

focused on currency trading (Forex). Since I’m an engineer, the first thing I’ve

discovered, was automated algorithmic trading. And I must admit, I had some

successes in doing that (I still have!). However, there is a small problem with

algorithmic trading: it is based only on chart indicators (technical analysis), and

all these indicators are based on the past price action. In other words, like one

wise trader used to say:

“Trading using chart indicators, is like driving a car using rear-view

mirror only”

http://www.coensio.com/http://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/technicalanalysis.asp



So to be specific, at some point in time, I have discovered the concept of

fundamental trading. This concept is more based on “price prediction” than on

past “price action”. For example, when looking at my previous “stamps” analogy,

I buy stamps only in case when I have a good fundamental reason to do so,

examples:

• I expect that a price will rise because of an upcoming (or present)

economic event

• I have few strong reasons (that are backed by some kind of investigation)

to believe that this is a good investment and a right time to enter market

• I can “jump in” and follow a confirmed trend

• (optionally) I personally believe in something, e.g.: I believe that Swiss

stamps are the best and most beautiful stamps in the whole world, and if

their value will drop to 0, then the world will end ;)

So how this all applies to my daily trading?

I ALWAYS do my HOMEWORK before entering the market.

6. My daily fundamental analysis routine

It is all about doing some simple, basic internet research. In this case Google is

our biggest friend!

READING is 95% of success in trading!

I read all the time and everywhere. While eating my lunch, while traveling or

before going to bed. Reading is the key to success! It gives me an insight in

current market moods, future market predictions and new trading ideas. It is

also very important to keep it all limited in some way, otherwise there is a risk of

information overload. In order to deal with this problem, I simply selected few

places I like to visit online and I stick to them. Below a list of places, I visit on

regular basis to do my trading research:

http://www.coensio.com/http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fundamentalanalysis.asphttp://www.google.com/

7. The “common sense” strategy with an example

After reading I always summarize the information and I always ask myself few

basic questions:

• Did I read something interesting?

• Do I need to investigate something in more detail?

• Is there any possible trading opportunity?

In the answer to all those question is ‘NO’. I do not trade, I close my laptop and I

go and do other things, like enjoying my life ;) But, if the answer to one of those

questions is ‘YES’, then I go back to my online research and I ‘dive’ deeper in to a

specific topic.

A real-life example:

Few day ago, during my lunch I’ve read a nice article about upcoming “driverless

car” technology. It was an article provided by Investor magazine on Flipboard.

Since in my daily life I’m an engineer, I found this very interesting. The author of

this article pointed out, that there are some strong evidences, that this

http://www.coensio.com/http://www.bloomberg.com/http://www.bloomberg.com/http://seekingalpha.com/http://seekingalpha.com/http://www.bloomberg.comhttp://seekingalpha.com/



technology will soon become available (…a real sci-fi dream that will come true!).

As we speak, all big international companies like: Tesla, Mercedes, Volkswagen,

BWM are already investing billions in this new technology. Even the giants like

Google and Apple (yes, yes the same guys that made the iPhone) are investing

huge amount of cash to make this all happen.

The wise conclusion of this article was: do not try to invest in car manufacturing

companies, but rather in the companies that are pushing the limits of

technology, that is required to make it all work. Obviously, the author of this

article was promoting his own commercial newsletter with a nice monthly

subscription of $99 ;) He did not disclose any more information about what kind

of companies he meant. So, I could not sleep after that day, thinking about the

future possibilities and gains this simple innovation can lead to. The very next

day I spent on Google, and here is what I found:

• It was all true…apparently in coming years we will have driverless cars!

• Huge companies are investing huge amount of money in this technology!

• It is the biggest technological innovation since smartphone!

• It is a huge opportunity for traders!

So here is why I’ve invested in company named NVIDIA Corporation (Ticker:

NVDA). Apparently NVIDA is one of the fastest upcoming producers of the CPU

units (the processors) that are needed for processing of huge amount of data

inside of each ‘driverless’ car. Below a quote from an article I’ve found while

googling on businessinsider.com:

“The Nvidia's Tegra X1 processor, which powers its Drive CX cockpit visualization computer, is

capable of delivering one trillion floating-point operations per second (flops) – the same amount of

power as a 1,600 square foot supercomputer 15 years ago.”

For people like me, who appreciate technological advancement, it sounds like

music to my ears, it’s mind-blowing! And here are the latest gains of NVDA

(September-2016):

http://www.coensio.com/http://www.nvidia.com/http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDAhttp://www.businessinsider.com/us-processor-company-the-car-of-the-future-is-the-most-powerful-computer-you-will-ever-own-2015-5http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA



Figure 7-1: NVIDA stock price 09-2016

So summarized:

• Did I have a fundamental reason to think that investing money in

company as NVIDIA will result in gains in the near future? YES!

• Was there any possibility to follow a confirmed trend YES!

• Do I have a strong believe this was a good investment decision? YES!

8. Letter Grade Rating

There are many different ways to get an additional confirmation w.r.t. the

selected stock. Personally I use a simple “letter grade stock screener” provided

by: thestreet.com. So let’s check if my NVIDIA stock was a right choice and what

are the experts saying about this stock:

Figure 8-1: Stock screener results of Nvidia company

In this particular example I did a good choice! The letter rating equal to A = Buy

signal! There are several different letter grades:

http://www.coensio.com/http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDAhttps://www.thestreet.com/r/ratings/reports/ir-screener.htmlhttp://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA



Table 8-1: The “next big thing” keywords

A & B Ratings - Are considered to be ‘buy signal’ confirmation.

B.T.W.: there are many more stock ratings, that you can use to validate if a given

stock is worth investing your money. Two commonly used examples are: P/E

ratio and asset class. So, if you really like to dive into advanced stock screening,

the best tool I know is the finviz stock screener.

Figure 8-1: Advanced stock screener

However, do not fall into a trap of making your trading decision based on

technical analysis/screening only. Your stock choice should always have a strong

fundamental reasons.

Letter Grade Definition (source: thestreet.com)

A (Excellent) The stock has an excellent track record for maximizing performance while minimizing risk, thus delivering the best possible combination of total return on investment and reduced volatility.

B (Good) The stock has a good track record for balancing performance with risk. Compared to other stocks, it has achieved above-average returns given the level of risk in its underlying investments.

C (Fair) In the trade-off between performance and risk, the stock has a track record which is about average. It is neither significantly better nor significantly worse than most other stocks.

D (Weak) The stock has underperformed the universe of other funds given the level of risk in its underlying investments, resulting in a weak risk-adjusted performance.

E E (Very Weak) - The stock has significantly underperformed most other funds given the level of risk in its underlying investments, resulting in a very weak risk-adjusted performance.

U (Unrated) - The stock is unrated because it is too new to make a reliable assessment of its risk-adjusted performance. Typically, a fund must be established for at least three years before it is eligible to receive an Investment Rating.

9. Charts, charts, charts

Note that in the majority of cases, I already know what to trade and why, before I

look at my charts. The situation on the charts (with or without the indicators),

only gives me an additional confirmation that my trading decision was right. In

all cases, I use price charting to find a good entry where the price is relatively

“cheap”. So what kind of magic indicators do I use for my decision making?

• I use simple stochastic indicator (Setting 5,3,3) to see when a price of a

given instrument is ‘oversold’ (70)

• Moving average of 100 to determine the long term market trends

• I use simple chart lines to determine resistance, support and trend

breakouts.

What is the best charting software? Honestly I do not know;) I’m using a free

version of freestockcharts (Update 2017: freestockcharts does not work anymore

on most browsers so I’ve switched to TradingView.com platform!). Furthermore, I

only look at Daily (D1) & Weekly (W1) charts. For example:

Figure 9-1: NVIDIA chart reading example

SR line

bounce

RSI in mid-

range, not

‘overbought’

yet

Strong

up-trend

http://www.coensio.com/http://9nl.it/TradingView



In this particular example: buying NVIDIA stock in September (2016) was a

simple no brainer. The future will show us if I was right about this stock pick;)

10. The power of averaging

As already mentioned before I am a ‘buyer’. I always base my strategy on a

bullish sentiment. I (almost) never ‘go short’. I think it is easier to believe in a

success of a given company, than to wait for this company to ‘fail’. And moreover

I only want to invest my money in big and healthy companies with proven

positive stock gains. However, it does not always work out as planned…so what

to do in that case?

The power of AVERAGING.

Entry point averaging is a very powerful, but also a risky concept. It can help you

to double or triple your gains or recover your losses, however it needs to be

done with some level carefulness. So for example let’s look at the Microsoft:

Figure 10-1: Entry point averaging

Let’s analyze what happened:

A. After doing fundamental analysis, I decided to invest some of my money

into Microsoft company. If you do your homework you will find out, there

A

B

C

http://www.coensio.com/http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA



are many different reasons to be ‘bullish’ about this company. Point A was

a reasonable entry point (at $54.52/share). I bought 4 shares.

B. At this point in time the price ($52.78/share) went down and up again, but

my position was still losing money! However:

o When going back to the fundamental analysis there was no reason

to think something has changed. The mid-term prediction of

Microsoft stock price is still very positive. There was no reason for

panic!

o Analogically, thinking about my first example with Swiss stamps, at

this moment in time I was able to purchase more stamps at a much

lower better price! So I did! I purchased 4 Microsoft stocks again at

a lower price.

C. At this point the market price was $54.18/share and my average price was

equal to: AveragePricePOINT_C =(A+B) / 2 = ($54.52+$52.78)/2 =

$53.65/share. This still results in a $54.18 - $53.65 = ~$0.5/share in profit!

One very important thing to mention, is that this trading technique is allowed

only in case the fundamental picture has not changed and is still positive. In case

you have doubts in fundamentals, always close your positions to minimize the

total risk.

If something you want to own drops in price = BUY IT!

11. The power of dividend

A great scientist Albert Einstein once said:




The nicest thing about trading stocks is the DIVIDEND. According to

Investopedia:

“A dividend is a distribution of a portion of a company's earnings, decided by

the board of directors, to a class of its shareholders. Dividends can be issued as

cash payments, as shares of stock, or other property.”

This basically means that the fact of owning shares of a given company gives you

right to receive a small piece of percentage of company’s earnings. So for

example if I would have stocks of General Motors Company (Ticker: GM) I would

receive a nice dividend yield of ~4%/share/year distributed over several dividend

payout periods. Usually, this is determined quarterly after a company finalizes its

income statement. We can easily calculate how this will impact our gains over

time, using:

RULE OF 72!

Imagine you own $100 in shares of a company that pays out 10% dividend

annually. Imagine you would re-invest this dividend each year in additional

company shares. It that case we can apply a simple rule of 72. This simple rule

allows us to estimate the period in which our initial investment will double. The

calculation is as follow:

Years to double initial investment = 72 / Interest Rate (or dividend)

In this example the initial investment would double every ~7.2 years. Since

72/10=7.2

http://www.coensio.com/http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividend.aspfile:///D:/ProjectCoensio/eBooks/Guide%20to%20stock%20trading/finance.yahoo.com/quote/gmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72



Figure 11-1: Dividend based growth

Assuming that the average price of a given share will only go up or in worst case

will stay flat, the dividend based growth is a powerful way of growing wealth on

the long term!

12. The power of leverage

The concept of leverage is a very powerful but also very dangerous thing. As

great Archimedes said:

“Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand and I will move the earth”

Figure 12-1: Leverage

In simple words, this mechanism allows you to invest a small amount of money

and trade with the number multiplied by the leverage. For example, with a

leverage of x100, you can invest $1000 and trade like you have $100000.

Normally when a given instrument rises with 10% your profit is $100 (10% of

$1000), but with a leverage of x100, the profit is calculated from the leveraged

http://www.coensio.com/http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/leverage.asp



amount thus 10% of $100000 = $10000! This can multiply your income, but also

your losses! What the most people do not know, there are few brokers that

allow to trade stock shares with a small leverage (so called: margin account).

WARNING: In theory, while trading with a high leverage you can lose more

funds than the initial deposit into your margin account!

Few other brokers provide the possibility of trading leveraged financial

instruments. Most of those instruments are provided by banks, and have many

different names like: CFD’s, boosters, speeders, turbo’s. Those instruments are

financially coupled to a given share or commodity and in most cases their price

follow the market movements 1-on-1. An example of good broker that allows

CFD trading is markets.com (Since begin 2017 I am also using this broker, it has a

nice and simple web interface and also a MT4 platform!). Leveraged instruments

come always with an implemented StopLoss mechanism, that helps in managing

the risk of trading. However, it is still very risky and only meant for more

experienced traders.

Tip: I have learned, that it is much better to invest more money in an instrument

with a smaller leverage (< x10) and a ‘wider’ StopLoss level, than invest less

money in a trade with high leverage and StopLoss very close to the market price.

The reason for that is obvious, wider StopLoss level give you more ‘room’ to

survive volatile market events. This approach works very well for unpredictable

and volatile commodities like gold. 1.Buy, 2. hold it for a while, 3. wait for profit

and 4. cash out.

An example of how to combine leverage with the common-sense strategy and

minimize the total risk of trading. Let’s consider trading the gold market, using a

leveraged instrument. So first we do our fundamental analysis by reading

information we can find the internet and we can conclude the following:

1. Gold price goes continuously up and down, it is very volatile and sensitive

to all different market events like FED decisions, rate hikes, risk on/risk off

market moods, etc.…

http://www.coensio.com/http://9nl.it/Marketshttp://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/091813/which-order-use-stoploss-or-stoplimit-orders.asp?ad=dirN&qo=investopediaSiteSearch&qsrc=0&o=40186



2. We can all agree on one thing: if the price of gold will drop to 0, the world

as we know it will end ;) Note: gold has no intrinsic value (it is just a piece

of metal) however it has stabilized and helped to rule human civilizations

for last few thousands of years. People always will be interested in gold!

3. We can also find out that the production price of 1 ounce of gold lies

somewhere around $1000/oz. In the near future it is also very unlikely that

the price of gold will drop below $1000/oz. Since this would mean that

gold mining is not more profitable In that case, most of the gold mines

would be forced to close this would impact supply/demand ratio

gold price would rise again.

4. So using a simple common logic we can conclude that the ‘FAIR PRICE’ of

gold lies somewhere above $1000/oz … $1150/oz.

This all gives us an imaginary range in which we can trade gold, while minimizing

our risk as much as possible. In this particular example I would personally try buy

leveraged gold shares with a small leverage of x10 and StopLoss level around

$1150/oz. If the price of gold would significantly drop below $1150/oz, I would

carefully buy more leveraged shares with a much lower StopLoss lever, while

carefully monitoring the fundamental reasons behind the gold price decrease.

That’s it, that’s my simple reasoning, this is how I trade.

13. How to profit from ‘craze’

Here is my little secret strategy I want to share with you. The most important

thing about stock trading is to have your eyes wide open. What I mean is that

the world around us gives us many different opportunities to profit from and the

one I like the most is: craze. For this example, let’s look closely what happened

recently with Nintendo (Ticker: NTDOY) stocks and how easy it was to detect the

‘Pokemon Go’ craze. You have probably heard about it on daily news, ‘Pokemon

Go’ is a new computer game, that can be installed on every smartphone. The

thing is, that in this case the game action takes place in the real world, and the

game uses Augmented Reality based software. So let’s see what happened. Let’s

align and compare two different graphs: Google Trends and Nintendo stock

price.

http://www.coensio.com/http://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/091813/which-order-use-stoploss-or-stoplimit-orders.asp?ad=dirN&qo=investopediaSiteSearch&qsrc=0&o=40186http://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/091813/which-order-use-stoploss-or-stoplimit-orders.asp?ad=dirN&qo=investopediaSiteSearch&qsrc=0&o=40186https://finance.yahoo.com/chart/NTDOYhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_realityhttps://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%203-m&q=pokemon%20gohttps://finance.yahoo.com/chart/NTDOY



Figure 13-1: Pokemon Go craze example

This example shows how slow the market reacts to the new opportunities in

some cases. After 6 July, every single trader could go on internet and check if

there is a positive correlation between the new internet trend and the reaction of

the stock market. Even after 2 days it would still be very interesting to follow that

trend and make money from it!

TREND is your friend! Learn how to detect new trends!

14. Spread your chances

This last rule is very simple:

Never put your all eggs in one basket! Spread the risk over multiple trades!

On 6 July Pokemon

Go showed up in

the news = internet

exploded, it became

a trending topic

On 6 July still no

one was interested

in NTDOY shares =

excellent

opportunity to BUY!

Even one or two

days later, it would

be still a great

moment to enter!

http://www.coensio.com/https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%203-m&q=pokemon%20gohttps://finance.yahoo.com/chart/NTDOY



Figure 14-1: Eggs in the basket

As a simple rule of thumb, I never invest more than 20% of my entire portfolio in

one trade. I usually start with 2%...5% and scale it up to 20%, while averaging my

entry price over a longer period of time. See chapter 10.

15. When to exit the market?

In general, I have only few rules for closing my trades:

1. When the fundamental picture for given stock/commodity has changed or

became unclear. Or when there is an upcoming earnings report event, the

risk of holding given stock (especially when trading with a leverage) is too

high.

2. To pay yourself! In case you are happy with the current gain, close your

position to cash your profit!

3. When the market doesn’t move for a long time.

4. When the current floating loss is too high and there is no reason to think

the stock price will rise in the near future.

Since I trade using small leverage, most of my trades are mid-term swing trades,

ranging from few days to few weeks.

16. New trading opportunities

We are living in a fast changing world that is full of new opportunities we can

profit from. In the past few months I did my own investigation and I already

know where to invest my money. Because I personally think, that it is much

better to “teach a man how to fish” instead of “give a man one fish”, I will live you

here with a small homework. Below a list of “keywords” you can do your own




search on, using nothing else than Google. And I can promise you that behind

every single keyword there is hidden path to wealth.

Table 16-1: The “next big thing” keywords

17. My open trades (overview)

If you want to know where I’m investing my money at this specific moment, you

can visit my blog here: My Open Stock Trades.

18. Brokers

Below a short selection of good and cost effective Stock (CFDs) and Forex brokers.

For European residents: www.markets.com

This broker has a simple web-based trading platform, but also allows trading using

MT4 software (for more experienced traders). I am also using this broker for my

daily trading so I can recommend this one.

For other countries (US/Canada etc.): www.optionshouse.com

I have no experience with this broker but this is one of the biggest online broker

out there.

19. Conclusions

1. The following figure represent my decision making flow while trading

stocks. You can use it as a guideline, change and improve. This is only an

example of what I’m doing and what works for me in my daily trading.

Figure 19-1: Stock trading decision flow diagram

2. Fundamental stock/commodity trading is much more simple to

understand and follow than forex trading. There is no need to fully

understand and follow the logic behind the policy of central banks or

understand complex world economics.

3. Entry price averaging is a powerful tool to manage your losses and

increase chances of profit, however it is risky and should be only used by

experienced traders.




4. Dividend is a reliable and powerful tool for long term capital growth.

5. Leverage (CFD trading) can boost your profits and minimize the amount

of required trading capital. I do trade with leveraged instruments, since it

gives me a possibility to trade with €100 and control €1000 in the markets.

With only €2000 on my account and average leverage of x10, I can trade

like I’ve invested €20000. However, I am aware of all risks involved in

trading leveraged products, and I am accepting the possible losses.

6. Always keep your eyes open, try to detect new trends and learn how to

profit from them.

7. There are many commercially available tools that can help you find a

reliable market entry. One of the professional solutions that is worth

mentioning is the: TradeMiner. Click HERE to find out more about this

software.

Other recommendations are the DailyInsider newsletter and TipRanks

service. See the next chapter for more information about those solutions.

8. Always spread your chances, and do not bet all your money on one stock!

On average, a standard portfolio should have between 10 and 15 different

stocks.

9. Always keep educating yourself! This small eBook covers only the basics of

stock trading…and there is so much more. Stock trading, if done properly,

is a great hobby that pays very well;) Keep learning and be patient and you

will get ‘there’.

10. If you like my eBook, or just want to add a comment post your reply HERE.

11. DO NOT FORGET to sign up to my special stock trading mailing list HERE.

If you already downloaded this eBook from this link then you are already

fine, if not then please subscribe to get my future updates and additional

tips.

20. Do you need help with trading?

For some people the information from this eBook can be a little bit

overwhelming and it will be not easy to get it all going. If you want to learn how

to buy only the best stocks that are selected by the best professional traders, I

recommend you to visit my blog to see how:

Also, I can imagine that stock trading can be very confusing for a beginner. Or

that there are many people with full-time job and families with small kids, that

do not have time for continuous reading, watching market news and doing

market analysis. Therefore, I have personally selected two options that you can

use for your daily trading, when your trading time is very limited:

The DailyInsider

This is a professional, daily news letter which covers the best investing

opportunities every single day.

Automated algorithmic stock recommendations:

TipRanks

This is a professional portal (a search engine like google) which evaluates public

stock recommendations made by professional financial analysts and bloggers.

The search results are ranked by experts based on their accuracy and

performance from their past predictions. Below a simple example of how a

typical TipRanks search result looks like:

For each single stock you a considering to buy this great tool can tell you the

following:

• The current ‘buy/sell or hold’ recommendation of the best market analysts

• The mid/long term price range prediction

• The insider buy/sell actions (extremely strong buy or sell signals)

• Financial bloggers recommendations

• The current recommendation of all experts who have already successfully

predicted price movement in the past for a given stock

• Currently trending stocks

• Many, many more….
