Top 5 Growth Stocks | Investing for Solid Long Term Gains
Posted on June 11th, 2009 No commentsWe’ve had a huge rally since the march lows, and my current stance is that we should see the collapse of this massive bear market rally any day now. That being said, prices on some stocks are low enough that given their growth potential, you’d probably do fairly well for yourself even if you bought now, near what is likely the high of this bear market rally. Of course, you may be able to do better by timing your entry, waiting for a pullback in the major indices before pulling the trigger, but for the more long term investor, now is as good a time as any.

Triple Leveraged Arbitrage
Posted on May 28th, 2009 15 comments
This is a long term play you’ve NEVER heard of. Its not quite arbitrage, but it does have some similarities. Its similar to an arbitrage strategy in that you have a long position, and a short position on the same underlying. In other ways its like selling call options dated fairly far out, in that the odds are highly on your side, and it should slowly but relatively safely make money over longer time periods. Yet the reality is this play is like nothing you’ve ever seen.

Stock Option Strategy: The Vertical Leap
Posted on April 1st, 2009 12 comments
Most people view stock options as strictly a short term tool. This is because the idea of a highly leveraged instrument with the potential to make big bucks quickly appeals to the gambler inside all of us. Just like a card counting black-jack player, options can be used to make short term profits, provided the user is careful, and knows what they’re doing. But while options are usually employed solely by that group of high-octane traders, they actually have enormous benefits that tend to go unnoticed by many a long term investor.
