Stock Investing

Stock Market Seasonal Patterns

There are several seasonal patterns in the stock market that can help you make money, or save money. Here are a few of them: Best 6 months to invest. From Nov 1 to Apr 30 the stock market goes up, on average 7.4 percent. From May 1 to Oct 31 the stock market is generally flat with a .4 increase. In addition generally, most of that increase happens Nov, Dec and Jan. Feb-Apr the market is choppy going up and down. Therefore the best times to see gains in an up market are Nov-Jan. In fact there is an old say in the stock market in May, go away. [Read More Now...]

Market Bottom?

We will need to see, what happens in the next couple of days, but the market went a little sideways today. 2 side by side, dojis. A sign of indecision. Does not mean it is over, but a good start. Need to watch for the next few days. See if there is a pattern (i.e. flag, cup, island, double pipe bottom. Will be looking at asia and europe in the morning Friday. Just for a hint of USA action. But some times USA leads the way. Now a moment of caution, anyone that knows “flags, wedges, pennants” Also, know often the market flags, then [Read More Now...]

OK. Market Crashing!

So. Many of you know, I trade. One of my favorite trades is CREDIT SPREADS. A Cash flow system, the works well in most markets. Win 9 times out of 10. And occasionally need to adjust the trade if the market goes crazy. Which it has lately. Lots of folks, ask “whens it over?” “what do I do now?” Now, let me make this clear, I do not have any financial licenses (I did in the past), so I am not giving any financial advice or specific recommendations. As I do not know, if you have 10 bucks or 1 Million. But here are some [Read More Now...]

Market is Crashing

For myself and some of my trading friends, we have been anticipating a pull back and crash for a while. Many of us, having protective puts, or plans if the market goes to the dark side. The market goes down 2 times faster than it goes up. That means, you loose fast or WIN fast. If you do not know, how to play the market time to learn. Lots of folks, lost 20 percent or more in their stock portfolio. It might take 2-4 years to get that back the slow way (investing in stocks or mutual funds for growth). There are much better ways.

Trust an Investment advisor or Trade Yourself?

I spent 6 years with a great financial and business mentor Charles Givens. He had over 500,000 members at one point, and did seminar all over the USA. On Oprah and dozen other shows too. He taught over 400 financial strategies. Had a couple great books. Wealth without Risk, More Wealth without Risk, Financial Self Defense and SuperSelf and SuperMind. Sound financial strategies. Originally, I believed in Mutual Funds. A no load product (which means no commissions). I really did not know much about trading. Except the concept of CANSLIM [Read More Now...]

Quick Update on January Barometer

The first 5 days were marginally down. But relatively sideways. Opened at 3257 close at 3253 5 days later. Approx. So, based on that we would expect a sideways pattern this year. 2020. About an 85% correlation since 1950. Now remember the whole month of January gives us a better indicator. 91 percent. So waiting it out. Looks like it will be an up year. If January continues up. Disclaimer. Past performance does not equal future performance. The January Barometer is not an absolute. And investment has risk. And remember, technical patterns are [Read More Now...]

Christmas TRADE Rocked!

If you are part of my Trading Inner Circle, you have access to my Credit Spread Trades, Adjustments, Covered Call strategies, and SPOT trades. Pretty much every year, in December I talk about the BEST 6 WEEKS to invest. December 1 (or first trading day), to January 15th. On average the market (Dow) goes up 9 percent during this 6 week period. Now buy the dow, would be hard. Just based on price. But we can buy the DIA (derivative of the dow). And options will give us leverage. Well. I posted this trade in early dec, just closed out jan 21. For [Read More Now...]

January Barometer

Getting close to a new year, and many folks are wondering is this going to be a good year or bad year for the stock market. While many folks are wondering, I am waiting for the first 5 days of trading to give me an idea of the market direction this year. You see, there is some correlation between what happens in January, on the S & P, and what happens of for the stock market for the rest of the year. It is called the January Barometer and has 2 parts. Since 1950 it has with a fair degree of correlation predicted what the stock market will [Read More Now...]

Warren Buffet Approach

What can you say, one of the greatest investors of all time. He always seems to pick up a great deal. In fact, that is one of his mantras, find good companies that are distressed by current conditions, and get a great price. Then watch them grow forever! He is seldom a seller of stock. Buffett loves a history of profitability (who does not). He uses the return on equity (ROE) ratio to gauge profitability and trends. In addition, uses return on invested capital (ROC) to kill any high-debt stocks, in his choices. Return on equity is a [Read More Now...]

Hi; I am Veronica L. Lewis. I was at the speaking workshop and Jim Francis and Daniel Miller have helped me get rid of some negative beliefs that were not growing me. I now see myself speaking and being on the internet. Thank you so much.

Veronica L. Lewis

Jim is very knowledgeable and a well-spoken person. He covered different areas from building and setting up a business to business structure and marketing and sales techniques. I am very glad to join this three day training classes.

Charlie Luis

The workshop was great. It touches all the necessary subjects for you to get started and things to be aware of. Jim is an awesome speaker. Loved his style. Very easy going and approachable.

Regina Gizafullina

Jim Francis is hands down one of the most charismatic speakers I’ve ever encountered. The amount of invaluable techniques he’s able to demonstrate and teach in each day is worth my business professionals attention. Selling from stage will be used in both my career and in public speaking events at my church.

Jordan Miangialiman

This was a most excellent seminar presented by Jim Francis. Jim Francis was excellent! Jim Francis is genuine and authentic and truly cares about the audience getting it! Thank you, thank you, and thank you Les Brown and Jim Francis.

Brenda Bautista

Jim Francis is powerful, funny and charismatic. From the first hour of the workshop Jim Francis was amazing. The powerful information he provided was not only valuable for my current business but has opened my eyes in creating new passive streams of income through new business opportunities I learned at the workshop. I learned how to grow my business in several different aspects. I was at the edge of my seat at every word during the workshop. I took so many notes that I burned through 2 pens in the 3 days! Thank you Jim Francis
