To begin, you might look at playing the stock market as though you were playing a game of Monopoly. That's right; for playing the stock market `game' is not unlike playing a game of Monopoly. There are definite comparisons and parallels.

In Monopoly there are a Boardwalk, a Marvin Gardens, Utilities, Railroads, etc. In the stock market you have the same type of properties (stocks), as in the game of Monopoly. For example, a Boardwalk may be a GE; a railroad, a CSX Corp.; Duke Energy, a utility. The rent a player collects in Monopoly could be compared to the dividends collected by a shareholder in the stock market. How much rent collected in Monopoly would depend on the property owned and how any houses are owned on the property. In the stock market game this would translate into which dividend paying company is owned and how many shares are owned of each company.

Lenin and Mao may be dead - but Communism isn't. Living proof: China. Communist China is the big darling of the world now, with a majority of people feeling more favorable toward China than they do toward the United States. It is also the big darling of big time industrialists, bankers, and world leaders. They all court China as if it will be the next world leader - and for a good reason. What could be nearer to a scheming social controller's heart than a successful amalgam of the two most promising human control mechanisms ever devised by mankind: Communism - and Capitalism? Lest a reader think that the last remark exposes me as a closet socialist utopian, let me qualify the word "capitalism" with the word "fiat" here, for fiat and central banking are what turn free-market capitalism into a silly subterfuge, a convenient smokescreen for hiding a global drive toward absolute social and economic control - one way or the other.

The junior mining exploration industry was built on "area plays", where one company makes a big discovery and then scores of others stake all around them, hoping to find that the nearby discovery reaches their ground. One of the biggest area plays right now is in the uranium sector in northern Saskatchewan - in the prolific Athabasca Basin, where the world's highest grade uranium mines are. The entire area was re-ignited early in July when UEX Corp. discovered 8.8 metres of 27% uranium - one of the richest uranium holes in history, which added $200M market cap to the company that day. Our newsletter friend Ron Struthers, editor of Stuthers Micro-Cap Report, sourced Titan Uranium, TUE-TSXv, as the company whose ground is closest to UEX - but Titan only has a $7 million market cap and almost $3 million cash. Thanks to Ron for letting us republish his article on Titan to our subscribers. Let the area play begin.

I feel that an investment strategy in the stock market can instill in the individual investor not only an assured confidence in all future stock market investments, but also an almost Zen-like sense of peace and well being. A stock market investment strategy spelled out, proven, and instilling within the investor the power to succeed in the stock market with an assured confidence.

Most stock traders recognize that momentum trading can be a very profitable activity. You can make big amounts of cash in a short period of time.

It's not unsual to see a stock rise more than 15% in less than 5 minutes on a good momentum day. The problem is, that if you don't know what stocks to look for and how to approach them and simply leave everyting to luck, you could end up wasting money instead of making your profits grow.

In my opinion, due to the volatility of stock market prices (the rise and fall of stock prices), an investment plan should incorporate both the traits of stick-to-itiveness and common sense, and must have an advantageous, predetermined
approach for maximizing each investment in the stock market.

Stick-to-itiveness and common sense – oh, what powerful
weapons they are when used for a long-term investment plan
in the stock market! They mean making the common sense and
advantages decision to:

Keep in Mind You Compete with Experienced Traders!

Stock trading keeps getting competitive and the stock market doesn't care if you are experienced or a newbie stock trader. The rules and the opportunities are the same every day, so either youre going to make money stock trading or you are going to lose it in favor of the more seasoned ones.

If you do not have an investment plan in the stock market you are subject to impulses, urges, hunches, premonitions, strong feelings, greed, panic, fear, indecision, and just plain foolishness. In my opinion, without a plan, without that clear conception of a total stock market investment strategy, the chances of successful investing in the stock market are pretty slim.

In the financial world we live in, nothing is as it seems anymore - except for one thing: We are all operating under the same illusion. Well, most of us, anyway. Let me explain what I mean. One of the cornerstones of what we call "reality" is that it is, by and large, the same for everyone. While we all have different mental perceptions and interpretations of the things we see, hear, feel, taste, and touch around us, on a strictly sensory level the vast majority of us agree on what kind of world we live in. The same thing should be true of what we will call "economic reality." In a sane world, we all should be operating on the same economic and financial signals as everyone else.

In this seemingly nonsensical environment of competitive currency devaluations, everything is turned on its head. Under normal conditions, a strong economy would be expected to have - and desire - a strong currency so that it can afford to buy what it needs in international markets, so that international investors are naturally drawn to its currency's value, and so that its assets are widely seen as safe and profitable. But not so in a world dominated by an artificially manufactured emphasis on "free trade." Free Trade, the panacea of modern big-government politicians, social planners, and central bankers, is the very vise in the grip of which the world economy currently finds itself. The real pressure isn't even on yet, but the world is beginning to realize where it is headed.
