Joe Fahmy: Relative Strength Trading Webinar

Great educational (and free) TraderInterviews.com video webinar with Joe Fahmy on trading high relative strength stocks in healthy markets.

Joe is one of my favorite trading follows on Twitter and we've also highlighted some of his blog posts and interviews here in the past.

So with that introduction, you should know that I'm posting this video because I've learned a lot about the stock market and trading from Joe in recent months. You'll probably walk away from this webinar with some knowledge that you can use in your trading as well.

Fahmy offers a quick summary of his general trading philosophy at the start of the webinar, then quickly launches into a discussion of his relative strength concept. You'll hear Joe explain why he looks for growth stocks that are emerging as leaders when the overall indexes are bottoming or consolidating. He also offers a few keys to successful trading and ends with a solid Q+A session with the webinar group.

Clean Money - John Rubino: Book review

Clean Money by John Rubino 274 pages. Hoboken, New Jersey John Wiley & Sons. 2009. 1st Edition. The bouyant stock market environment of the past several years is gone, and the financial wreckage of 2008 is still sharp in our minds as a new year starts to unfold. Given the recent across-the-board-declines in global stock markets (and most asset classes) that have left many investors shell-shocked, you might wonder if there is any good reason to consider the merits of a hot new investment theme, such as clean energy. However, we shouldn't be too hasty to write off all future stock investments. After all, the market declines of 2008 may continue into 2009, but they may also leave interesting investment opportunities in their wake. Which brings us to the subject of this review.
