DECIDING WHEN TO SELL! In a bull market practically all stocks rise in the sectors benefiting from the favorable market conditions. The key to wealth is knowing which stocks to take profits from and which ones to hold as core positions; adding to, as corrections and consolidations give opportunities to build positions. I always get a charge from people who seem to think that just because a stock rises in value an investor has to take a profit so as not to lose what he has made on paper. I liken this to my days as a broker, years ago, when I saw time and time again how investors were very easily encouraged to take a profit and reinvest the proceeds into a position that was underwater. I too was guilty of doing this as I felt it was the right thing to do. Time and experience has proven the error of this type of thinking. In practically all cases it was the losing stock position that should have been sold with the proceeds used to buy more of the winning stock. Often investors will take a profit from one company to purchase an investment in a new company. I have never been able to understand how this logic is supposed to lessen an investors risk when the capital is reinvested in a new venture. Seems to me the investor is starting the risk all over again. With the rally we have experienced so far in 2006 I must say that I am very pleased with the profits I have racked up in the stocks that I own. For those of you on my e-mail list who have purchased these stocks I am sure you are very pleased with the results you have achieved as well. I am not going to talk about specific stocks in this article as that is not what this article is about; for those of you on my e-mail list you will see an update in the near future that will bring you up to date. Suffice it to say that I think you will continue to be very happy. I am currently hoping for weakness in a couple of stocks I own so that I can build larger positions. Unfortunately the stocks are very stubborn and refuse to give up much ground. Notice I used the word unfortunately; this is no accident as I would love to have a shot at buying more shares at a discount. In my three favorite companies my money has more than doubled in one and tripled in the other and up more than tenfold, on my initial investment, in the third. Once an investor sees returns of this nature on the stocks in their portfolio they will then have the confidence to not worry about the day to day price volatility in their portfolios. This type of attitude can very easily be adopted when one is in a bull market in the sectors that you own. As time moves forward I am automatically checking the progress of my investments with the business plans that the management of my investments have laid out for them to accomplish. If I find that management is successfully moving my investments towards a final goal, which inevitably is proving up an ore body or putting an already proven ore body into production, then I am a happy camper and I will continue to own and build positions in my investments. Most investors do not realize that the companies they own could be considered more undervalued at two or three times their purchase price as management successfully delivers on their business plans. This is where the boys are separated from the men. Being able to understand true value from building a company from the ground floor up versus a stock that simply has a very good marketing team telling a good story is the key in knowing when to take a profit versus owning a stock as a core holding. In the three stocks I referred to I am very happy to say that I have added to my positions as management has proved up additional value to the companies. I have taken money from companies whose management failed to deliver and used that as the additional funds to build my winning positions. The reason I have been drawn to making investments in start up junior mining and natural resource companies deal directly with the rewards of finding the company with a resource that becomes a positive cash flowing mine. I know that very few companies have bodies of ore that will ever see the day when they will be called a producing mine. The odds are stacked against every junior mining company ever becoming classified as a successful producing company. However, the rewards of being successful in finding a junior mining company that is bought out or becomes a producing company, in my opinion, far outweigh the risk associated with making the investment. Huge profits and returns await those who are successful. The ironic part to this story deals with companies that may falter in being able to timely deliver on their business plans. There are many reasons why a company may fall behind; some of these reasons are totally acceptable as being normal in the mining industry. In cases like this positions should be built to take long term advantage over a short term holdup. The "boys" also get separated at this point as many times these failures are warning signs that something is not right. I like to refer to these failures as "Material Changes." Time always separates fact from fiction. A shrewd investor can recognize material changes as time brings the truth out of fiction. As time reveals that management has made mistakes, overestimated ore bodies, underestimated costs, fudged the truth about what they hoped to have, or simply did not have a clue what they originally hoped to accomplish in the first place; there is consolation in knowing that all is not lost. In a bull market there is a strong possibility that good money can still be made when an individual owns a company like this. Remember a rising tide will lift all boats. Knowing that "all is not well" is the first step in knowing that this company is on its way out of my portfolio. I will make sure I liquidate companies of this nature as they move up in price and liquidity offers a timely exit. I get a charge out of being able to make money on companies that deserve to be liquidated at a loss. Have you ever noticed that stocks offer excellent liquidity to sell as they move higher in price? The important point to make here is; if you decide to sell a stock out of your portfolio do it when liquidity gives you the opportunity to do so not when your emotions stir you to sell. THREE SECRETS The three secrets to making big money in the markets are; 1 - Accumulating good quality stocks or stocks that have great potential when no one wants them; 2 - Being able to let loose of the stocks that encounter material changes when they rise and liquidity offers the opportunity to delete them from your portfolio. 3 - Knowing which stocks should be considered core holdings where weakness should be viewed as an opportunity to build positions at a discount. CONCLUSION Like I have said, knowing when to sell a stock can be very complicated. Ultimately my decisions to sell are based on the accomplishments of management in being able to deliver value to their shareholders. Notice that I have said nothing about the subject of paying taxes on the gains that an investor may take along the way. This is a separate article in and of itself. Suffice it to say that paying taxes is not one of my favorite things to do in my life and by holding my core positions I put myself in a position to minimize my taxes and pay long term capital gains when I do decide to take profits down the road. |

本来以为MM仅仅对付shorts, 没想到MM大开杀戒, 屠杀了很多想近期获利的traders和不少fond managers (有些fond有硬性规定, 一旦价位低于50日均线就必须出货). 不过本人仍然看好 fo.v, 基本面并未改变, 失去的仅仅是一次获利的机会, 达到$10的时间将拖延2月左右而已. 本人今天 $3.37 继续加仓, 可能性急了点. 将准备子弹, 继续加仓. |

谢谢老李的精彩分析
枫坛真是温暖啊, 得到了这么多朋友和老大们的关心和鼓励, 谢谢各位了! 特别谢谢老李的精彩分析, 收益很大. 我一股没卖的原因, 不是因为贪婪, 主要是把 fo.v 作为长线投资, 看着她涨涨跌跌, 都没有想过要去卖她. 我一直认为, fo.v 的价位今年应该 $10+, 明年 $20+. 但是如果 fo.v 的基本面发生了变化, 无论价位如何, 我会立刻清仓. 昨天加仓 8000 股, 今天看来还算是即时. 其实金钱乃身外之物, 生不带来, 死不带走, 不因为赚了钱而狂喜, 也不因为亏了钱而失落, 看轻点会自在多了. 哈哈, 瞎说了, 各位别见怪哦! fo.v 今后的走势, 如果基本面保持不变, 可能会如下图(一相情愿): |

fo 还处于等待状态, MM 借着大势洗盘. 不过个人认为, $4 以下的机会不会很多了.

今天的收市很不理想, 居然没能守住50MA! 好像MM已经觉得有了足够的控盘能力, 还需要加码和惩治今天开盘时入市的day trader. 还有待观察. |
