  • Five Actionable Ideas for 2009 [View article]
    in re: Januarys effect.

    If the selling continues in the first week in Jan of 2009 on a stock that should have bounced up, that company is in trouble.. be careful. it could take a long time to recover or could go belly up.

  • The January Effect: Small Caps Outperform After Really Bad Years  [View article]
    In Dec.2008, I will buy small or micro caps that have enough cash or cash flow to stay in business at least one year from now.

    here's the way to make the $$$$$

    example: if the high on the stock in 2008 was 20.00 and is now trading at 5.00, it is a buy.

    here is the rule: if the stock doubles from today's price and could go to about 50% of the high on the year, it is a buy.

    another example: high for 2008......3.00 now trading at .75 cents....buy it
