When I first read your post and decided to kill a few brain cells by watching your video, the first thoughts I had were more rubbish from someone that can't distinguish between their own genius and a bull market. That is what your 'easy money' section really is, total BS IMNSHO.


However I kept watching and the second half of your video on things to look for from a FA point of view is not bad. It looks at some common things that people pay attention to and some less than common aspects.


BTW one of the easiest ways to make money in the market is exactly the opposite to what you have said. Going with the crowd as a stock or stocks in general is when you can make big money, but you have to jump off before everyone else does.


A couple of years ago I made an obscene amount of money on a penny dreadful that had nothing, was never going to have anything, but was caught in an 'industry' hype movement. This was one of the laggard stocks (because they had nothing but an idea, and I mean nothing!), in the lithium boom in late 2017. I bought millions of shares at a very low price, less than 2 cents, yet had a margin of safety as there were tens of millions in the buy queue just behind me. I basically bought everything at just above these huge buy orders for over a week.

Along came an announcement of them doing something that seemed positive and the share price took off like a scalded cat, basically because it was the laggard of the sector with some sudden promise. Plus every trader that was making heeps of money in that sector (pretty much everything was going up), started to pile in. Hot money, in a hot sector, driven by prior profits, and hype.


The stock went on to be a 20 bagger eventually in about 8 weeks. I sold mine and caused a pull back in the price, just from my selling, after about 8 bags. The stock still exists, they are still  doing cap raises and still talk about their great idea, but the share price is well below where I sold and I still think the whole company has nothing worthwhile.


Basically trading with the crowd in that instance was what made lots of money, the direct opposite to what you originally were saying in the video.


The right time or correct time to buy any stock is when it meets whatever criteria you have tested that works during a certain period or phase of the market. There are all sorts of different methods for buying a stock and most of them will work in certain conditions but not in others, which is where just about every 'method' of making money in the market that I've ever read about or studied, seems to fall down.


The market is different and acts differently during different periods or phases. Treating stocks or a system, the same during a different phase of market just doesn't work, and most people that think they have all the answers, because they made money one way for the last few years, have to find out the hard way.




Can you name one of these from Australian stocks, that would be a buy right now, and how exactly would you 'play it'? (position size, stop loss, etc.)
