ANSWERS TO SOME MORE OF YOUR QUESTIONS ...
Audrey Asks: How do you know when management of a company is good if they are not Warren Buffet or someone well known? What is it you look for to tell you?
Excellent question, Audrey.
There is only one proven way I know of to truly discover if the management of a particular company is good: analyzing the financials.
You see, Audrey, the financials of every company tell a story. An objective story. An honest story. ...

- Must Own ETFs
I have been chomping at the bit for a very long time waiting for a certain type of Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) to come to the market, and it is finally here!
If you have been reading The Tycoon Report, you should know what ETFs are at this point, and if you purchased and, more importantly, utilized the knowledge that was imparted to you in Teeka Tiwari’s ETF Master Trader, then you should be very well versed in how to make money using them.
I am here today to beat the asset allocation drum ...

- REITS: An Oasis In the Real Estate Desert!
Another dismal report is out this morning on residential Real Estate. CNBC quotes Standard and Poors as saying that the U.S. subprime housing crisis will not peak until 2009 and total defaults could reach $150 billion. As a result, the U.S. economy will see lower growth and will be easily surpassed by the economies of other countries throughout the world.But the news isn't all doom and gloom for Real Estate investments. While we wait for prices to stop falling (which may take awhile), there ...

- How To Be Right 80% of the Time
Risk is a funny thing; everybody has a different way of measuring and determining it. Some go with their gut, some trade off magazine covers, but the majority of individual investors use CNBC as their personal risk barometer. If the hosts are in good cheer, then all must be well in the world of investing; if the hosts are serious and dour, one must exercise caution. At least it seems that way.
But as we all know, very often the exact opposite is true. That is, when the market ...

- Finding Entry Points in an Uptrend. Buying on a pullback...
Members of The Trend Rider made big profits by taking bearish positions before and in the very early stages of the recent correction. At the bottom of the correction, we went bullish on certain positions, some of which moved 40% - 50% higher in about a month.
There are SO MANY reasons to be bullish right now, it's scary. But at the same time, you want to stay calm and not be emotional. You want to buy at the right price, not chase stocks (or call options) higher, right?
It's ...

- How to Take Profits, Protect Profits and Avoid Losses
I HAVE TO SAY, YOU GUYS REALLY IMPRESSED THE HECK OUT OF ME ON MONDAY.
That was the day Wayne Mulligan asked for your help answering three of the investing questions readers sent me two weeks ago.
The questions you answered so brilliantly were:
1. What are the strongest investments in a down market?
2. How do you know when management of a company is good if they are not Warren Buffet or someone well-known? What is it you look for to tell you?
3. Why are a company’s ...

- Capitalism Gone Wild...
I decided that I had to write this article because capitalism in the U.S. has become so annoying that I need to vent.
It has gotten to the point where I can't even go to the bathroom anymore without some annoying guy standing there waiting for me to finish so that he can offer me a towel to wipe my wet hands (I do wash them, you know) or a mint for my breath or something. It is getting out of control, and it's happening so subtly that most of us aren't even paying attention to it. ...

- Dinner's on Us!
Let me just start off by saying, WOW!
The response to last week’s article about the idea for creating an “Investing 101” course was phenomenal! Not only did we get 30 comments from readers, but we got even more e-mails directly to me and other Tycoon Editors from people begging for a course like that. Needless to say, you and other Tycoon members really gave us a lot to think about as we head towards the end of the year.
The Investing 101 course is a service we’ve ...

- Join Us on YouTube!
There was a day not so long ago when Tycoon was little more than an idea and a couple of guys in a small, dingy one-room office.
But there was one thing about that office that I’ll never forget.
Those of you who’ve been part of the Tycoon family for a while might remember us talking about it: on one wall hung a map of the world, and every time a new customer joined us, a new pushpin would go up on the map where they lived.
It was a great way for us to get through the long days ...

- Dinner's on Me
After a grueling eight-day business trip last month, I thought I would take my wife out to dinner – something nice, something quiet, romantic, and a bit expensive. But it had been a long month, and I really didn't have a spare $100.
So I put dinner on the plastic. It was a great meal and a wonderful time, and it got me thinking – we should really do this every month. But then where do I get an extra $100 every month.
Well, I figured it out; an easy way to get an extra $100 bucks a ...

- Getting Started in the Right Direction
I'm not much for composing an independant article. I find it much easier posting comments to other peoples questions, or the editors articles. However, I'm concerned about good thoughts geting lost in the shuffle, and I'd like to edit some of them and collate them into acceptable articles. There are quite a few ideas I have for articles, the trick is going to be puting all the pieces together, finding the time, and the right mood to work coherently.Anyway, Scott posed a question the other day ...

- It's Time to Buy Gold
Since starting Point and Profit, I’ve shied away from giving specific stock recommendations in The Tycoon Report.
Why?
My PNP members pay a lot of money to access my trading ideas, and it just wouldn’t be right for me to give away for free what they pay for.
However, I am always happy to share my general and sector-specific views with you here, and that’s what I want to get into today.
OK, here it is: It's time to buy gold. Let me repeat in a bigger font size: IT’S ...

- Tycoon Reader at Chris' House!
A quick note on this market ...
Consumer confidence is at a two-year low. Oil is up around $80.00. Major retailers are lowering expectations on sales, the dollar looks like it's going to get even weaker, and yes, the housing market is still headed downhill.
But be sure not to get too wrapped up in the "story" of the moment, or else you'll be the person on the other side of my trade in a stock market turnaround. Focus on technical indicators. The only ...
