Last week, an ex-director of Netcare (who retired over 12 years ago) reached out to me.
He has been following my probability predictions with Trading Tips since 2013 and has been an avid reader.
He was curious to hear my take on two different health companies and whether I am bullish (expect upside) or bearish (expect downside).
After I completed the analyses, what I discovered enticed me... ››› more
The hardest decision one can make as a trader is this.
You sit at the computer after a clear trade has lined up…
And even though you should press the buy button.
You don't.
By nature, most people are too worried about the “what ifs”.
WHAT IF there is: - An unexpected news announcement
- The market crashes
- Or maybe your second choice is the better trade…
These thoughts... ››› more
Q. “I've been looking at stock trading lately. I see each share is calculated according to market capitalization. I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Could you explain the difference between market capitalization, shares outstanding and shares floating?”
A. With stock, you are 100% correct in saying it is calculated by market cap.
Each listed (public) company has two types of share.

I must say I'm quite surprised.
I had no idea that in 2022, there are a lot of traders who do not know that there are two ways to profit from the markets.
Whether the price moves up, you can profit.
Or if the market price crashes and burns, you can also profit BIG TIME.
And right now!
In fact, once you understand the concept - you'll only have one question for me…

n the last few weeks, we have seen hundreds of billions of dollars wiped out of the markets.

It's exactly times like these where the inexperienced, greedy and clueless traders destroy their accounts…
And it's not because they don't have a ... ››› more

As a novice trader, it's easy to try and guess where the market's bottom is.
It's easy to see a bounce in a falling market, and assume that things are going up from here.
But calling a bottom is one of the most dangerous things a trader can do. In fact, with trading we say you're trying to ‘catch a falling knife'.
Most traders pile up their positions with a whole bunch of longs (buys) a... ››› more

Raise your hand if you lost money in the markets?
I know I did in 2004 up to 2008.
It was because I kept making the same old mistakes newbies make.
4 Years!
Funny thing. I already had a winning trading strategy that was working on a consistent basis on paper. And yet, I was failing as a trader.
That was until, I started talking to top traders.

The number of contracts purely depends on the how much money you deposit…
So if you have a portfolio of R2... ››› more
