Here's a good article on how to pick a stock
Below is anarticle on the www.asx.com.au website. there are more there to help you learn
"How to identify trading opportunities
There is one investment that can consistently deliver impressive results year in, year out. Once you know where to look, the sharemarket offers excellent returns, very often over surprisingly short time frames and we are not only talking about speculative stocks. There are opportunities in solid stocks that everyone can identify and invest in, not just the professionals.
In this article Andrew Doig from Spiwatch looks at how you can spot these opportunities.
So how can you go about finding those stocks? There are two classic methods for identifying trading opportunities. Firstly, fundamental analysis where company reports, balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and so on are analysed. The other method is via charting or technical analysis.
Many of you probably have a trading program already but have simply not discovered how to unleash its power. Trading software comes with a myriad of tests and scans to identify trading opportunities, it is just a matter of learning how to apply these.
In this article we introduce an example of how to identify stocks that have been oversold and accordingly where we would expect to see a reactive recovery and thus a trading opportunity. Stocks can be sold off for numerous reasons. They may have poor or deteriorating fundamentals or a particular sector may be out of favour. Resource stocks fluctuate depending on such influences as metal prices or currency movements and so on. The stocks we target are where prices are sold down too far, where the market simply over reacts, perhaps on the release of negative news, or profit downgrade, where the herd mentality takes over, selling panic sets in, and we find ourselves looking at a bargain. Markets are like rubber bands, when they stretch too far out of shape, the snap back to equilibrium, just as price action does with stocks that are oversold or overbought.
A perfect example of what we are looking for was Leighton Holdings. In early May 2004 LEI released a negative announcement concerning the contract for Melbourne’s Spencer Street Station redevelopment. The news savaged LEI’s share price from $10.25 to $7.62 in just three days. LEI lost two years gains in that time.
This price action was enough to plunge our technical indicators into super oversold levels. For example, standard studies (available on all trading software) such as the RSI fell to lows of just 12, the Ultimate Oscillator reached 18, the Momentum plunged to 75, the Stochastic hit lows at 2, the CCI reached stunning levels of minus 372’s. These super-low readings were miles below classic oversold rules and were typical across all indicators. Furthermore, “timer” studies, those used to identify warnings that major moves are pending, were screaming at us that a new move was due. These included Bollinger Bands, which had widened to unsustainable extremes, as had the Standard Deviation. This warned us that a new move was ready go. Considering the technical indicators were incredibly oversold, it was fair to assume this indicated move would be upside.
This is where the next consideration comes into play – fundamental research. Never, I repeat, never rely on technical analysis alone. You must always consider fundamental analysis. There can be good reasons why a stock is showing as oversold, one of which is that it is going broke.
In LEI’s case however, it was never going to go broke over the news. At worst, this news was a nuisance. The market had simply over reacted and got it wrong. It was that simple. This gave us a fabulous low-risk opportunity to buy a bluechip stock at bargain basement prices. Our readers were alerted to this situation on May 5 when LEI closed at $7.72 having reached lows of $7.62 We highlighted the reasons why we believed LEI was too oversold and thus could expect a reactive and obligatory recovery. As expected LEI recovered almost immediately, never falling back under the $7.62 lows. Just seven weeks later LEI had bounced 24 percent to $9.45. By September it had recovered 37 percent. By January LEI had rallied over $5.00, up 66 percent in seven months to trade at $12.70.
But how can you find these stocks? Simply construct a test or scan series on your software. Include reliable studies as the RSI, Ultimate, Momentum, Stochastic, CCI’s, OBV, Williams’%R, Price Oscillator and then sort these into oversold/overbought order. This will list oversold stocks in order and alert you to any potential trades. You then investigate the charts, do fundamental research needed and decide if there are any trades that suit your style and risk parameters.
Once you have a candidate that fulfills you requirements and parameters you need to make three decisions. Firstly, decide what your studies suggest is the upside price targets and why these have been established, perhaps through retracement work, trendlines etc. Secondly, establish the time frame that this recovery to those targets should take, and finally you have to determine that if you get it wrong at what price your stops are placed.
Using this method you will always find opportunities. Just a handful of bluechip examples we have highlighted to our readers that you can learn from include Seven Network at $4.62 (01/09/04), Brickworks at $12.31 (10/12/04), Premier Investments at $2.99 (12/12/03), Peppercorn at $7.94 (04/06/04) and there are even more opportunities in the speculative end of the market, every week"

Here is a salient article
I haven't written on this blog for some time.. I am reluctant to advise, comment or certainly NOT predict what might happen to the world wide crisis. You can read every man's report and suffer the "knuckle whitening ride " that has come about in the worst share market crisis in 60 years on other blogs. But what I will provide is a copy of George Soros article where he talks about the causes. see below. you can also go to his site at
What I'd like to say is to remind you that if you dont sell, you havent lost (yet). so remain calm and wait. it will improve. you only have to look at history and you will see that after each fall or recession the share market has rebounded to a higher level. I' ll show that in pic later..
BUT REMEMBER , there are HUGE opportunites right now.
Good companies have dropped to as much as 25% and more.
I was going to buy Fortesque metals and they were around AUD $6.80, but this week were as low as 1.50, then went up .40 cents on Friday. Still cheap at $1.90...
and there are heaps more.........
Of course, if you buy, DON'T BORROW!!! buy only what you can afford to lose.
give up your cigs, beer and Pizzas and invest in your future instead of pouring it into your body.

I am the eternal optimist. I think we have turned the corner and the awful last two months are behind us.
Today the victorian governtment announced that they believe there are huge gold reserves between Bendigo and the ocean. (vic) They are waiting for an exploration company to commence operations. I wonder who that company will be..
Anyone interested in lapidary, (minerals, gems and gold) knows that there are still huge gold reserves out there. Even I have old books spruking about it.
So the race is on.. I gotta find out who.. if you have got a good guess..please tell me.

there are opportunities everywhere
My last blog post said to take time off and hibernate. But there are opportunities everywhere.
I was browsing an old 2003 mag and noticed MBP Metabolic Pharm - I investigated and yesterday decided that because their spread (that is the difference between the highest price and the lowest price over past 52 weeks was 16c-3 cents) was good because it was currently at or near the lowest price for the year and the company had other pluses - like 17 mill cash in bank and no debt...I bought a small parcel at .04 cents. hoping to sell half at a 50% profit before 6 mths. Anyway, that was yesterday 17th and today they have a big announcement and are rising already...
They have bought a company from CSIRO which makes a biodegradeable polymer for medical use and it will be finalised in three months time.... how about that?
go to asx.com.au code MBP, read the announcement and make up your own mind!

Time to take time off
It's time to take time off and do something else.
It's tax time, it's freezing cold and winter here in OZ.
The sharemarket is still struggling and trying to come up for air after a minimum 27% drop (and more) and the worst in 20 or some say 60 years. The US recession is virtually admitted and should now be on the way to recovery except for the price of oil. Since we elected a new labour government in September, housing mortgage interest has risen , there's a crisis in home sales and rental properties and a big drop in new housing applications. Mortgages are up, food prices are up and transport.
There is gloom and doom everywhere. I still think there are signs of recovery and that by the end of the year everything should be improved.
The main thing is to hang in there, don't sell and take unnecessary losses, just hibernate for a while! Make yourself a watch list on yahoo finance and get Yahoo to send alerts to your email when a stock goes up by 10% and ignore the downs. Don't ask for an alert when a stock goes down. You don't need the stress.
BUY - Bounty OIl is holding at a cheap price around 6 cents so is LKO lakelands Oil and Gas at less than 2 cents.
Whatever stock you look at is at a record low price and there are bargains everywhere.
Buy and hold and the day will come when you will be saying that you were so clever to buy so cheap. Just don't borrow, and be conservative.
Sell only when you see a profit of 25%.
and I'm sure you will.
Give it time, and the gloom and doom will go. Life goes on.

Mega posts on the http://asxinsider.informe.com and you can reply and add your own "sixpence worth". go there to read MTNEWS- US stock news and also to see past opinions on various stocks.

Mega posted there about CVI Cityview- and Pussycat replied, but since then we made some money on CVI.

a couple of tips today
Yellow rock resources YRR jumped 40% over the last week. now .18c read ann on the asx -
GPN own 21% in them.. and GPN is much cheaper at about .012c , but Yellow rock are the big players.
you could buy about 50,000 shares in GPN for only 600.00 plus the brokerage fees!!!
also Indophil resources IRN were up 43% last week with an xstrata bid, and today Lion investments are urging shareholders to refuse it... there is some action here..
Look them up on www.asx.com.au type in the code and view their announcements.
That's how you learn what it all means ..
Another "yellow" is Deep Yellow DYL seems on the rise.. ?

"Mega" sees THIS as a great opportunity. Buy and hold for at least 6 months.

tip for the takers
PRR Prima Biomed looks interesting, Here is what was said about it on the asxinsider forum last august 2007 THE DAY AFTER THE AUGUST 15th 2007 CRASH - or rather CORRECTION!
It always helps to look back at history. His or her story can help you make a better judgement.
We are still holding 5000 purchased at .024cents. (spent approx 500.00- sold some and kept 5000) Currently at .015 so we will wait. We still think that PRR has a future in the battle against ovarian cancer.. also it may take 12 months for it to be accepted on the US drug list. Have a look at the graph above and remember that you can expect to see your stocks fall by as much as 50% regularly. But it still hurts..!! OUCH
go to the asx and put PRR on a watchlist. read their announcements. You can also go to the very quiet http://asxinsider.informe.com/ and see the earlier posts. There you can sign up for free and post your opinion.
Here's an article with some interesting information.

abolutely shocking! bottom 2.6 cents Market Pulse: Biotech suffers from another poor day Nick Evans Thursday, 16 August 2007 IT'S been a grim couple of weeks for biotech stocks, as bloodletting on the broader market again impacted on the value of the biotech sector. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index came down 176.8 points to 5788 and the All Ordinaries finished down 181 points to 5801.5. Eighty-four of BTN's watchlist fell yesterday, 48 by 5% or more. Only 15 gained any ground, and the remainder either did not trade, or remained unchanged. As always, those biotech companies with a positive story to tell fared the best, led by OBJ, the Perth-based drug delivery company which announced that it had scored a major coup by recruiting Dr Ian Frazer to assist with OBJ's drug delivery subsidiary, OBJ Transdermal Vaccines (OBJTV). The company's shares climbed 0.5c to 6c on receipt of the news – gaining around 9% from the announcement. pSivida also had a positive day, as news of the company's positive clinical results from its BrachySil clinical trial finally began to penetrate into the market's thinking, and IMD, Anadis and Genetic Technologies also traded up a little, although all remained within their usual trading range. The big move of the day, however, was Progen, trading back into positive territory after announcing that its liver cancer drug, PI-88, was likely to receive orphan drug status after receiving a positive review by the Committee for Orphan Medical Products (COMP) of the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA). Progen shares gained 14c for the day, to close at $3.30. Prima BioMed was the biggest loser, shedding 1.5c, or 24%, in late trading to close at 4.7c. Prima almost trebled in value Tuesday, after a minor announcement about an Australian patent grant sparked a frenzy by day traders, who bumped its value from around 1.9c to 6.2c over the course of the day. Prima continued its good run yesterday morning, trading up to 8.7c, a high for the year, until the news that executive director Eugene Kopp had ditched almost his entire holding prompted a scramble for the exit, and the shares plunged back down. Almost 306 million Prima shares changed hands yesterday – including some 16.5 million of Kopp's – which is several times the company's total shares out in the market. KarmelSonix also registered a significant fall, back down to 17c from 20.5c, although the company does appear to have found a new range, having previously traded at around 5–6c before the last month's dramatic rise in value. Metabolic also continued its slump, shedding another 0.5c to close at 5.3c – under half of what it was on Monday, before the company announced that it would be abandoning another drug in Phase 2 trials. Fermiscan also continued its lacklustre recent run, dropping another 27c to close at $1.45. Of the majors, CSL dropped $2.56 to close at $88.50, ResMed lost 21c to close at $4.88, while Cochlear continued to ride positive annual results to record a small increase of 9c to close at $63.34. Most of the late stage small cap companies recorded marginal falls of between 1% and 5%, with the exception of Clinuvel which gained 1c to close at 70c."

PRR Prima Biomed had an interesting announcement on 19.03.08.. On page 4 it mentioned apppointment of Dr Ian Frazer as an advisor. This is good news. There may even be a takeover. who knows.

Mega's tip of the day
Mega's tip of the day is that the volatility will settle at the end of March and stocks will start to recover.. It will still be a fairly unstable ride for the next 6 months. At the moment I tip PRR prima Bio med might be worth a small investment as of course CVI. Resources are undervalued but commodities like sugar and essentials are worth looking at. . Sugar in particular where the refuse is being used to create energy.
RBY Rockeby is holding up well, so do some research into it.
Correction on last post.. The correct address for the asx forum is below

are the world's financial markets about to collapse?
I don't think so but there has sure been some worrying times lately. Share portfolios are in the red and the US market is talking about a recession. have a look at the http://asxinsider/
forum / general for news highlights. and in the stocks A-H for Mega's tips.
Mega's best tip right now is to get into sugar and sugar recycling of sugarcane waste- being used for energy generation.. and other food essentials.
The Aust financial review on 6.2.08 reported that billionaire RON BRIERLEY via his company Guinness Peat, has purchased a 27% stake in Marlborough sugar MSF. It was about 2.84 and now is at it lowest at 2.44.
It's out of our ten cent range, but if you can afford it..Buy because Ron knows his stuff..
If we are at the top of the cycle (end of the bull market) then it is time to invest in essentials and commodities. Just hang in there. the market will recover but it might take six months. Don't sell - just wait and scratch around for some bargains..

The lagoon, a place to think
When the market has a fall for 11 days in a row, and your portfolio shows red, red, red..
relax at the Lagoon and the beach and remember it will sort itself out. The shares will rise again, and you won't lose any money if you don't sell. You have to be patient and wait. AND INDEED, the market has started to recover today. There is GREEN all over the place.

the MARKET fall is an opportunity - here's a free tip
On the worst day in the downturn, NWT Newstat Ltd was 2nd on the highest vol traded last friday 18.01.08 on asx market stats, with a rise of 25%.
NOW at .006 (less than one cent) it is about the cheapest stock one could find with potential. According to their announcement and presentation in Nov as below. go to http://www.asx.com.au/ -
type in NWT in company research, scroll down to the list of announcements. There you will find this presentation. Part only included here.
"• The Australian Government Subsidy Scheme (“ABG”) $160M already guaranteed • NewSat has acquired a Surfbeam Hub to run a wholesale business model through established ISP, Dodo • Dodo to market and sell the service • NewSat to provide the satellite infrastructure • Target of 32,000 clients (CPE and install paid by Australian Government) • 8,000 in 2007/08, 24,000 in 2008/09 • Both political parties say the funds will continue into 2009 if the need is evident PLUS • NewSat negotiates use of a slot from an existing holder • Makes application in December to Federal Government for funding from the $400m pool earmarked for Telecommunications • Offers to match the Government dollar for dollar with a credible partner. Several have already identified and expressed significant interest in joining NewSat’s bid • NewSat funds its share with either existing financial partner Cornell Capital or a Multi-national Investment BankT"
I think its a small risk for a high potential return, so I'M BUYING 100,000 at .006 for a small investment of $600.00 plus fees.
kind regards,
Mega

SO is there a recession or not?
I think there are some black clouds of recession looming but I also think the US will probably manage to avoid 2 negative quarters especially in a presidential year. Nevertheless, most traders are facing another week of a "sea of red". Newspaper articles keep talking about the sub prime effect and others say Japan is facing a recession because it exports nearly 50% of it's products to the USA.
Mega see's a downturn as a time of opportunity. Watch stocks with high volumes and those rising in the downturn. If you are willing to take modest gains -sell half at 25% profit - then you can still make money. There is a lot of fear and downtalk, but remember
talking down the share market or the economy, does benefit some people.
Like the Banks for instance. They can then put up interest rates.
You might like to visit my other blog called http://richkidspoorkids.blogspot.com
for more palin english insights.
I found this article and it seems pertinent. it's about whether there is a recession and investing.http://switzer.businesscatalyst.com/web_pages/articles_and_tools/financial_planning_and_superannuation/times_like_these.html

The new year 2008
Happy new and prosperous year 2008!
Mega here, sorry I haven't written on this blog for a while. I've been too busy. I took on a horror of a consulting project, and wasted half a life, working for someone else when I could have been buying and selling on the stock market, writing at my own leisure, in my own home office.
No travel, No traffic, No boss breathing down my neck. It's the best business I've found.
Now I'm back doing what I enjoy! That is the way to go in 2008. Do what you enjoy, then turn that hobby into a business. Accept a challenge and ALWAYS do your best. Aim small and grow!
The year ahead on the stock market.
My prediction is that the first half of 2008 will be in recession with a depression looming like a black cloud. Already most of your stocks will be a sea of red. the last 5 days 7-11th January 2008, the stock market in Australia has fallen between 12-15%, BUT never mind. Take small profits where you can, sell half where possible, hang on to good investments, and BUY new ones.YES! BUY! This is a time of opportunity.When the sky falls , all stocks fall. good and bad. You just have to go through the pile carefully.I'll show you how.
go to my rule book on my http://www.megamoneybox.com/ investment/Megamoneybox rule book. Mega's rule 1. Don't lose money, so hang on. If you hadn't invested money you didn't have, you can afford to wait for the market to improve.
In the meantime buy some spec stocks on the rise and sell as soon as they rise by 25%. Yes, take profits at 25%. This will happen even in a downturn.
You can still make modest profits and can build up your portfolio.
We would all like 1000 % profit, but greed and fear are our enemies. So plan for a modest return. If you buy 20,000 at 0.02 cents , you can sell half (or a quarter ) at 25% profit, then sell half again at 50% profit, keeping the balance of 5,000 as free - pure profit.
Invest $500.00-$1,000.oo and buy and sell stocks UNDER TEN CENTS.Stocks like GDA, PRE, GPN, RCH, MHL, EXM.go to the http://www.asx.com.au/ web page, type in these codes and look at company research. create a watch list and see how they perform. Expect some ups and downs..because volatility is rampant. Big super funds and raiders are pushing up the price, exiting and the price lowers. so be warned.Since the 1.1.08 to 11.1.08 Megamoneybox has taken profits of $2015.50 i.e. $200.00 dollars a day!
We think that is good, especially since we only started in August with $5,000.00 and a few stocks. We've changed our portfolio, have turned our investment over 1.5 times, and at 4.1.08 we had 500,000 shares. We've now sold another 80,000. (We did cause ourselves some losses and also had too many fees due to small parcels - but we've recouped the losses and are in NET Profit).
I should add that we made 23% gross profit between Aug 15th and Dec 29th 2007. ) I want to BOAST (I know I shouldn't)- BUT I have to tell you that the average price of each share for the period was ONLY .056 cents. LESS than 6 cents! Even though we still have some ADY and SDL which we bought at .475 and .82 respectively. SO IT CAN BE DONE.
Both of those are in loss at the moment so we are keeping them. That's why I like 10cent shares best. There is more volume for less outlay.
If you want to learn how to pick ten cent stocks you will have to sign up and pay $52.00 a year for our email newsletter and tips. email me at sampsms@ozemail.com.au
Cheers! here's to a prosperous year.
