There’s a comfort level in knowing that a stock we own, is beloved by other like-minded investors.

Advanced Entry Techniques for Any Market

June 28, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
In analyzing thousands of trades and investments, I have found that many lose money because of their entry levels, not because of what they are buying or selling. This is, of course, also directly tied to a lack of any consistent risk management strategy. Before making any investment, it is critical that you determine where your stop would go on either the long or short side. Based on this level, and where you are planning to enter the market, you can then calculate your risk. By doing this calculation, you are likely to find that sometimes the risk is 8-10% [...]

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 Lives, but It Probably Won't Be Cheap

June 28, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
