    Calling Prospects - How To Make A Great Cold Call
    How do you feel when making a cold call? Nervous, excited, hopeful? Unsure of what to say? Many network- and internet marketers, even the most experienced ones, face these same concerns. Here's what you should do to make a great cold call:Before you call, remember these persons have already visited your website. Unless they weren't a
    When most analysts, financial planners, fund specialists and investors try to decide whether to buy a particular stock they immediately go to the financial statements to determine the growth potential of the company.

That is why I always hit the mute button. And many times when you look to see what the insiders are doing in this wonderful (?) company this executive and his buddies are selling out.

    Then there is Morningstar that gives us those twinkling heavenly bodies. Nothing like a 5-star mutual fund - that has lost money for the past 4 years.

    What Do You Want From Your Investments
    There are three fundamental qualities you need to seek in your investments – income, growth, and safety. Every potential investment vehicle can be placed into one of these categories.

Wouldn't it make more sense to sell out once it loses a certain percentage from its highest price after you buy it? If you bought it at $20 and it is now $40 is it now time to sell? I don't know so why not let the price action tell you. If you only wanted to risk 10% when you bought your stop-loss would have been $27. It now should still be 10%, so you will be out at $36 if it starts down. Suppose you tracked that stop all the way up to $80? This is why I have always preached that stops make you money.

    The best (?) analysts know very little more than you. They just have a bigger vocabulary about the market. You and your dart board can do as well. All any truly smart investor needs is common sense and the ability NOT to fall in love with any position. Know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.
