Master the Stock Market

It's just math, so use the science behind the markets.

Calculating Percentages

The market is about math. So is shopping. Being able to calculate percentages in your head reasonably quickly is useful. 

Lesson 1

A percentage is a fraction of 100. If, for example, you eat half a pie (in one sitting) that’s 50% as 50 is half of 100.

Lesson 2

You aced lesson one so here's what comes next. You can estimate a percentage (fraction) and, if you want, be more precise by chunking down the calculation.

For example: your Trump doll, made of orange peels from Florida, used to be $30. But now, just as you want to order more of them, they go up $7.50 to $37.50. How do you calculate what percentage that is?

$7.50/30 is the fraction. What percentage is $7.50 of $30?

Method A: how many times does 30, the denominator in the fraction, go into 100. A rough estimate is 3 (3 x 30 = 90). Obviously it’s more than three and we could be more accurate by dividing the remaining 10 (100-90) by 3. That’s about 3.33 (a third). Add them together we have a “multiplier” of roughly 33.

We’re trying to figure out the fraction, in a percentage, $7.50 is of $30; so we could multiply 7.50 by 33 (rounded off). That’s a little tricky so let’s make it easier. If we just use 30 it’s 30 x 7.50. That’s a pain in the butt too, so what if we just did 30 x 8? That’s roughly 24. Round it off, and you can use 25% as the increase. Generally, when it comes to investing you just need an approximation.

Science of the markets
Short term and long term studies on stock market price patterns or behaviours are ongoing. From studies, there are certain identifiable indicators that stand out for a higher degree of reliability. In fact, their usefulness for predicting what comes next is profound and continues to amaze us nearly every day. Why nobody else talks about it is surprising in a technology driven world but you'll see the ranking of the indicators, how they're playing out and what it means for your trade execution.

Take the research and work your portfolio
" I believe the most prominent features of the research are the stock and ETF picks, timing and the guidance to get out of and stay out of a falling stock market. This is huge and widely overlooked for some reason (until it's too late)!
Don't let anybody tell you you can't time the stock market. They either don't know how or don't want you to (i.e. the mutual fund industry).
Crave Investor subscribers have reaped the benefits. I didn't invent the system but I drive the organization of the process, refine it and make it available to those who want a consistent system that works."  Spend a little cash on a monthly subscription and see for yourself.
