How I made $2,000,000 in the stock market

This is the title of a book I read a long time ago. The author, Nicolas Darvas, followed a system of buying stocks that won him a fortune. It's particurlarly amazing as he was a dancer and wasn't an expert in stock investing like Buffet or Soros. Also considering the fact that he started with $25,000 and turned it into six figures in the 1950s is even more amazing.

Nicolas happened to apply a strategy of buying as stocks went higher. Another words, he bought strength. When stocks proved that they were being accumulated, he bought more and continued buying at higher prices. Reminds me of the trend following strategy employed by the Turtles. This obviously only works in a bull market where prices continue to trend far longer than most people believe.

This brings me to the point of my blog today. I believe we are coming to the point where this strategy will work again in the stock market. No I'm not talking about the market in general. I'm talking about resource stocks - particularly mining companies. With gold testing $1000, we are entering a new era in which miners will zoom onward and upward. Are you ready?

This book is a good read and offers insight to how anyone can systematically build a fortune in a bull market.

Till next time.

All aboard! The gold train is taking off!

A colleague of mine has been quite happy with trading resource stocks - in particular the gold miners. He said that he's been buying a particular stock at a price of $33. As soon as the stock reaches $36, he sells. He waits for the stock to fall back to $33 and repeats the process. He's been quite successful at this and has been ringing the cash registers a couple of times this past year as the stock has been bouncing around like a yo yo.

This strategy will obviously work in a sideways market. Gold has been range bound for the last year. However, I believe this will change going forward. Gold is finally testing the big psychological price of $1000. This is the final hurdle before it takes off to new heights. Anyone not recognizing this and continues to execute strategies according to a range bound market will be left behind when this train leaves the station. They will look at the price of gold in frustration as it continues climbing higher without them.

Be forewarned... We are entering a new phase in this bull market for resource stocks.

All aboard!
