The Art of Cutting Your Losses
One of the most enduring sayings on Wall Street is "Cut your losses short and let your winners run." Sage advice, but many investors still appear to do the opposite, selling stocks after a small gain only to watch them head higher, or holding a stock with a small loss, only to see it lose even more. No one will deliberately buy a stock that they believe will go down in price and be worth less than what they paid for it. However, buying stocks that drop in value is inherent to

Ten Rules for Pocket Pivots
1. As with base breakouts, proper pocket pivots should emerge within or out of constructive basing patterns. 2. The stock's fundamentals should be strong, i.e., excellent earnings, sales, pretax margins, ROE, strong leader in its space, etc. 3. The day's volume should be larger than the highest down volume day over the prior 10 days. 4. If the pocket pivot occurs in an uptrend after the stock has broken out, it should act constructively around its 10-dma. It can undercut its

52-week High and Low investment strategy
As a pure investor, I am “not bounded” to any of the stock counters that I am vested in nor intending to invest in. I don’t buy stock because I like the brand, the products or services, the industry etc. No sentiments, no brand loyalty, no hard feelings. I invest in them because they were low price or under-valued as opposed to potential future value at that point in time. While there are many variables to consider when making the right trade, one of my favourites is the 52-
