Panic on Wall Street... What Now?

Monday, September 7, 2015 Panic on Wall Street... What Now? Dear Investment U Reader, If you missed Alex Green's article last week, you shouldn't have. As investors prepare for a period of surging market volatility, it's more important than ever that you're informed of the strategies that will keep your portfolio afloat. In his article, Alex outlined his belief that your success in riding these volatile markets hinges on your answer to one vital question... Are you an investor... a trader... or a speculator? As he defines the philosophies... An investor strives to earn returns that are measured in years (or decades) and generally ignores short-term fluctuations. A trader measures his returns in weeks or months. He doesn't ignore short-term fluctuations. He seeks to capitalize on them. A speculator seeks high returns but is willing to take on a lot more risk - including complete loss of principal - in order to earn them. (This category includes option traders, penny-stock buyers and venture capital investors.) This is why the same stock - at the same time - can be a great buy for an investor... but a poor one for a trader. Writes Alex, "Look at it this way. Imagine that you are trying to swim across a bay. You have a choice. You can swim when the tide is against you or you can wait and swim when the tide is with you. "Obviously, it would be easier (and safer) to swim with the tide. "Right now there is no tide in the market, only rip currents. Sophisticated traders - like experienced swimmers - know this is no time to jump in." It's All About the Timing "Sure, you could get lucky and buy something just before it rallies. But you could also see it brutalized a few hours (or a few minutes) later. "Investors, on the other hand, have the luxury of time. Since they are investing to meet financial goals three, five or 10 years out (or longer), it really doesn't matter whether the market - or the stock they just bought - plunges. "That's because prices fluctuate more than values. "The liquidation or ongoing business value of a company doesn't change nearly as rapidly as its daily share price, especially in times like these. "And wise stock pickers follow a similar formula. It doesn't matter whether they use a growth methodology or a value methodology. They make an independent calculation of what a company is worth based on sales, earnings, cash flow, dividends and prospective profits. Then they check the market price. "If the stock is trading above their valuation, they give it a miss. If it is trading at a substantial discount to this valuation, they generally buy. "It makes absolutely no difference whether the market's next move is higher or lower because they aren't looking to sell it short-term anyway." So What's the Right Move for You? "A long-term investor buys based on known facts and reasonable projections. If the market acts silly in the near term, he may have an opportunity to buy more at an even better price. "He averages down to lower his cost basis. And if he's right, his eventual gains will be bigger still. "Why can't a trader do this? Why doesn't he jump in and then average down?" The key, says Alex, is "... the time horizon. If you're a short-term trader who is looking to lock in a fast profit and then move on to something else - presumably something better - you don't want to put yourself in a hole where your short-term losses mount." "The short-term trader needs to wait until he can swim with the tide again. Or at least until the rip currents are gone." Sound advice, no? Not surprising... This Isn't Alex's First Rodeo In '08, Alex's Oxford Communiqué subscribers closed out of every position they had - 44 in total. Yet they still collected a 28% average gain on each. That's the same year the markets plummeted 36%. This kind of success in the face of adversity has become almost expected by Communiqué readers. The Hulbert Financial Digest, a 35-year-old independent research organization, has ranked Alex and his Communiqué among the nation's top 10 investment research newsletters for more than a decade. In fact, as I write, the current average open gain on Alex's recommendations is 56%... with extraordinary individual open gains as high as 112% on Cerner Corp. and 223% on McKesson.
