IMPLEMENTING YOUR STRATEGY OF BUYING LOW AND SELLING HIGH.
Here is a step-by-step procedure showing you how to keep track of the market so that you can buy low and sell high.
| 1. |
Prepare yourself by testing strategies over and over again. |
| 2. |
Paper trade in real time. This is a very important step in learning to implement any strategy…especially selling short. |
| 3. |
Start out with very small positions. No amount of back testing and/or paper trading can give you the experience and knowledge of actually managing a portfolio. So start out small. Don't become impatient. Another market turn is always around the corner. |
| 4. |
Act when the market is turning around. VectorVest will identify this event in the VectorVest Views when it happens. |
| 5. |
Select a strategy. If you have prepared yourself properly via steps (1) – (3), you should know which strategies are best for you. However, VectorVest always suggests to its readers several strategies which may be used to buy stocks long or sell stocks short when the appropriate time comes. |
| 6. |
Follow our Model Portfolio as a guide. Please be aware that the Model Portfolio is to be used only for illustrative purposes, and is managed mechanically. We try to keep things as simple as possible, and do not make intra-day trading decisions that an experienced investor would normally make. Don't try to follow what we do because you will always be a day late. Learn how to anticipate what we will do. |
