Top-Down Investing

This book implements the most profitable and yet simplest strategy in selecting stocks. It only takes about half an hour a month to monitor the market and decide what stocks to buy and sell.Read first my "Top-Down Investing in a Nutshell" at the end of the introduction and how we implement this strategy by market timing, sector (subsector) timing and stock selection via fundamental analysis, technical analysis, insider analysis and institution analysis. This book uses the advanced strategies described in my other books but in very simplified instructions. The trick is to make them easy to use from the research information available to us free of charge. However, more time-consuming, and/or more advanced procedures are described together with the theories behind.This book has 7 sections. Section I has the basic tools and they can be executed in very simple procedures. The other chapters in each section explain the detail and you can skip them for now. I start with market timing. You should not buy any stocks when the market is plunging. Actually you should sell most of the stocks you own when the market is plunging. I have a simple way to spot market plunges. It is based on charts. However, you can obtain similar info without creating charts and there is nothing to subscribe.The chart also tells us when to reenter the market for the best opportunity to make money. I did in 2003 and 2009. For starters, just trade sector ETFs and you can skip the latter chapters in evaluating stocks.In the simplest terms, I discussed how to evaluate stocks fundamentally and technically. Use the research available in the free sites such as Finviz.com and MSN Money. Instead of spending hours in researching one stock, you can do the same in a few minutes as others have researched them for you.Updated: 01/2021. Size: 110 pages (6*9).
