Moving averges
200-day moving average – its average price over the past 200 days
Example, when a stock falls below its 200-day moving average, technicians say it is vulnerable to fall
further. The idea is, many onvestors who bought within the past year are losing money and may be
nervous and quick to sell.

Warren Buffet’s key elements of fundamental analysis:

Invest as an owner, not a trader
Consider carefully a company’s intrinsic value
Analyze management
Stick with businesses you understand
Find businesses that have a real advantage

THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR WHEN TRADING STOCKS:

Mounting trading costs
Ask price, the price you must pay when you buy a stock
Bid price, what you get when you sell
The hidden fee is the difference between the bid and the ask price because the ask price is always higher
than the bid. This is called the spread.

Unnecessary taxes
Short-term capital gain, applies to profit from selling stocks you’ve held onto for less than a year, can be
up to 35%
Stocks held for longer than a year are taxed at 15% at the highest.

Mistakes

Amid pending litigation or liability claims
 When investors are worried a company might face massive claims. This has happened with companies
involved in tobacco and asbestos
