I Want The Companies I
Invest In To Be "Newsworthy"!
Remember how I wrote in last month's
newsletter... that... it is not some good or bad development
which makes a stock price go up or down? Remember how I said, "It
is the NEWS of some development, not the development itself,
that affects stock prices?" How I also said, "Therefore,
the way to win when you play the stock market is simply to
know (and act on) the news before anyone else!" I
also said, "I know a way to know the news even before the company CEO knows
it." Remember, how in your mind, you thought ol' Guru
Gary had finally gone all the way around the bend and how you
thought... this ridiculous claim... couldn't possibly be true?
You piss me off. Don't you know who you're
dealing with here? Haven't you yet learned to appreciate the
enormity of my incredible manipulative genius? Good Lord, do I
have to keep reminding you how fantastic I am every single
issue? (You know, last year I was pretty hot shit but I did
have one shortcoming: I was conceited. Now that I've lost
that, I'm perfect!)
Oh shut up, you humorless twit. I've got a very
important point to make and we can't have any clots in your
mind obstacling you from comprehending what I'm about to lay
upon you. I've got a question for you...
What Exactly Is News?
Many people would say it is information about
something which just happened recently. That's partially true.
But, it's incomplete. Did you ever hear the expression, "Gosh,
that's news to me"? Here's a silly (but illuminating)
example: Whenever two people "fall-in-love" it
produces an actual chemical effect that lasts almost precisely
90-days. That's been true for thousands of years. But, did you
know that? If not, then guess what?
That Was News
To You!
You know what is so great about many of those
smaller, low-priced publicly-traded companies? Not only does a
low-priced stock have more "growing room," many of
them remain unexamined by the big institutional investors who
are insurance companies, pension funds and mutual funds. They
can't afford to mess with those "little" stocks.
First of all, there are more mutual funds than stocks
(I find that rather amazing) and often, one day's trading in a
given mutual fund is more than ten times the entire value of a
small or micro cap company. Many of those small companies have
spectacular "news" relatively no one knows about.
Like a company called Longport which has a portable skin
scanner a doctor can use to detect skin cancer in seconds...
before it is visible... and without
a biopsy. That technology has been around for a while but,
I bet...
