We've all heard about the investor how bragged about his 100% or 1000% return on a stock or about the guy who made it rich by investing in small caps, undiscovered stocks that made it big. In theory, it seems to be too easy. Invest in a couple of penny stocks, then sell them when they move up. Unfortunately, it is too easy. Too easy to lose money unless you know what to look for.

Long Term: Short Term:
As indicated by the Long Term Arrow, we are currently in a bear market. In the short term, we advocate taking long positions at this point. That said, we are very close to being overbought and primed for a pullback. If you are long, tighten your stops. Do not open up new long positions, nor open up any short positions as the market is in transition.
