By creating and following rules, you can greatly improve your odds of success. Position Sizing Mathematicians, investors and traders are always searching for the optimal position sizing for a strategy. Often, traders determine the appropriate position sizing by using formulas.

The company had no business plan and zero revenue. Yet, a $20 million investment was made after a 45-minute meeting. Why? The founder’s “eyes were very strong.” He had “charisma and leadership.” Masayoshi Son’s investment in Jack Ma’s Alibaba is one of the record books. At its peak, that $20 million investment was worth more than $150 billion — a 6,500X return! And many agree that it’s one of “the most successful investments in the history of mankind.” But if not for this one investment, you would’ve never heard of Son… The Crash Because before Son saw those returns, he[…]

And that’s music to my ears — because it means more money for my brokerage account. All of the largest and best companies were once small companies. And finding mighty oaks when they are little acorns can be the key to tremendous returns… In fact, some of the largest and best-performing stocks of all time — like Berkshire Hathaway, Amgen and Walmart — started out as microcaps. Microcaps are[…]

I‘ve been doing my Bank It or Tank It series for 2 years.Normally in this series, I’d take the stocks you all are interested in, and provide the key trend levels to watch so we can determine if they’re set to head higher or lower. (We’ll talk about this more later, but you can write me anytime with what you want to see.)This way, even if my initial analysis is wrong, you know the key levels that would make me change my mind and you can adapt accordingly.But in 2021, we took my Bank It or Tank It analysis to a[…]

By the end of 2015, Apple’s brand was known the world over. There were over 500 million iPhone users worldwide. Its products were simple, easy to use and addicting. Once you used one Apple product, you were hooked. So, unless you were living under a rock in 2016, you had to know that Apple was a great business. And in the first quarter of 2016, Buffett bought $7 billion of Apple’s shares. His purchase raised eyebrows. For years, he had shied away from technology. Now, he was going all in. By 2018, Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway owned 5% of Apple’s business[…]
