All these books about making money on stocks...you have to wonder.

[raccoon]

If you figured out a sure-fire way to make money on stocks, would you write a book
about it and tell everybody else how to do it?

1. Or the, "make money in Real Estate", etc. nt

2. In the real world, you would tell no one, lest your method stops working.

No investment strategy works when everybody tries to do it. I think one could even prove that mathematically.

So yeah.

3. In the real world, you tell everyone to buy the penny stocks

that you have already loaded up on, then unload them as fast as you can when the price reaches your target. In trading jargon, this is called "pumping and dumping".

4. And you get paid for giving them "advice" too. nt

5. I wish I hadn't listened to the stock "advice" I was given

My cat could have done better than those so-called "professionals".

6. Yep, I did that, one time. Cheap lesson at the price too. nt

7. This usually means all the real money has been made

and now they're trying to get all the small time suckers to invest to prop it up while they get their money out.

The market has been overvalued since the late 90s. It's not going to stay that way much longer.
