How to Trade with Japanese Candlesticks / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: EWI
"I always will be an Elliottician, but other technical tools have merit and are indeed worthwhile: they allow me to build a case, build a more confident reason for making a forecast and for taking a trade; making a trading decision." -Jeffrey Kennedy

The Confidence Game / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: David_Petch
Last night I was staring at a computer screen with numerous bullet points for this article and was wondering how to weave them together and what to call it. After sleeping on it, the perfect title for this came to me...”The Confidence Game”. In human psychology, there are many different levels of human emotion or behaviour, from which other forms of behaviours stem. This might seem like a pointless exercise, but follow the flow chart below with a background thought about relating this to money, the banking system and precious metals.

Investor Wall Street Q&A - Everything You Wanted to Know And Weren't Afraid to Ask / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: We'll have a Q&A session today, covering everything from precious metals to reserve banking to the derivatives markets.
Let's start with a very interesting question about gold and silver.
Q: Advisors frequently tell us not to be invested in gold/silver exchange traded funds (ETFs) as they could collapse and leave the investor with nothing but paper. Can that happen when one is invested in ETFs which are backed 98% by gold and/or silver bullion, such as the Sprott Physical Gold and Silver funds)? ~ Virginia R.

By: DailyGainsLetter
Moe Zulfiqar writes: If the price of a stock or any other financial instrument is headed downward, should you buy more or sell? Investors are faced with this question every single day when they see their holdings decline in value. In situations like these, investors sometimes make a mistake of buying more of something when they should have been selling it—this is often referred to as dollar cost averaging.

The Mythical Magical Bullish Rising Wedge Technical Chart Pattern / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Rambus_Chartology
In today’s Chartology Report I would like to clear up a misconception about rising wedges and flags. I have gotten more negative e mails from folks that assure me there is no such thing as a bullish rising wedge or flag. I’m repeatedly told to go back to charting school to learn my lesson. These type patterns are missed by 95% of chartists because they supposedly don’t exits and if they do exist they can’t be trusted. Keeping an open mind in the stock markets is the first lesson to learn. That means anything is possible regardless of what is taught by the so called experts. I’ve been following these two types of patterns for many years and find that are just as reliable as any another consolidation or reversal pattern.

By: Investment_U
Alexander Green writes: At our 15th Annual Investment U Conference in St. Petersburg last week, I spoke to the few hundred people in attendance about “How to Lose Money and Miss Opportunities.” For some reason, I was the only presenter who chose to speak on this topic.

Swing Trading Stocks with the ABC Gap Fill / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

By: Investment_U
Alexander Green writes:
During the housing boom a few years ago – while home equity values were climbing – American consumers went on a world-class spending spree. The personal savings rate dropped to zero, then went negative. Consumers were actually spending more than they were earning.
