Is it
possible
to earn
money in
a
declining
market?
By Yinon
Arieli | October 22, 2007
Apparently it is. Once
again,
Yalicoo
expert
players
are
proving
that one
can beat
the
indexes
and gain
positive
returns
by
wisely
managing
his
portfolio
and
choosing
stocks
with
positive
momentum.
Keep in
mind
that
these
experts
are only
choosing
among
the 750
largest
NASDAQ
companies,
so it is
a much
harder
task.
Regardless,
they
succeed
in doing
just
that.
Obviously,
while
main
indexes
are
yielding
negative
returns,
not all
stocks
included
in those
indexes
are
trending
down;
some are
actually
increasing
their
value.
Using
intelligent
investing
methods
can
assist
you to
spot
these
rising
stocks.
For
example,
gold,
the
current
leader
of the
Quarterly
competition,
currently
has a
return
of
almost
10%
after
only 3
weeks of
investments;
this
investor
seems to
have a
consistent
investing
method.
One of
the
basic
principles
of his
method
which
caught
my eyes
is
selecting
stocks
from the ZACKS
internet
site top
rated
stock
list.
This has
probably
lead him
to
choose
companies
such as
TBS
International
Limited
(TBSI)
or
DryShips
Inc. (DRYS),
which
yielded
more
then 40%
and 20%,
respectively,
in the
period
since
gold has
entered
them
into his
portfolio.
genibus,
who is
currently
ranked
second
in this
competition,
also
benefits
from the
above-mentioned
stocks.
Other
Yalicoo
investors
who are
diligent
to
monitor
the
moves of
the
leaders
have
entered
these
winning
stocks
into
their
own
portfolios.
As I
have
said
repeatedly
before,
by
following
the
leaders
and
winners
of
previous
competitions
one can
improve
his
skills
and
learn
how to
increase
the
value of
his
financial
nest.
The
bottom
line is…
Think
how
simple
it is;
following
the
leaders
moves
already
can
place
you at
the top
of the
score
board.
Then, by
adding
your own
chosen
winning
stocks
to your
portfolio
can
increase
your
ranking
on that
board
and
place
you
among
the
three
leaders.
The
quarterly
competition
has
began 3
weeks
ago, and
there is
plenty
of time
for you
to join,
follow
the
leaders,
add your
winning
stocks
and be
among
the
leaders
in this
competition.
Remember,
there
are
$6,500
in cash
prizes
waiting
for the
winners
of this
competition!
One week
to go in
the
monthly
game
Fortunately,
the
current
monthly
game is
crowded
with
many
great
traders.
This
makes
the
competition
more
challenging
but very
interesting. genibus
continues
to lead
with a
return
of 6.9%.
Following
genibus
we have
a new
player,
Trader420
(6.5%)
who is
in
second
place.
Among
the
leaders
is the
familiar
Iverson
(5.8%)
who is
in third
place.
It may
be hard
to pass
these
three
with
only one
week
left,
but it
is not
impossible.
By
choosing
a few
rapidly
rising
stocks
such as
those we
described
earlier,
you can
easily
place
yourself
on the
score
board
and
hopefully
take
some
cash
prizes
home
with
you.
A new
winner
every
week.
It was a
declining
week for
the
market,
but the
new
Yalicoo
player
fieldGoals
still
managed
to gain
an
impressive
return
of 3.3%,
taking
home the
winning
prize of
$400.
Two
additional
new
winners,
MSpurrier
and
BULLitPROOF,
also
managed
to be on
the
green
side of
the
returns,
collecting
the
second
and
third
cash
prizes.
For
those of
you who
ended
with a
negative
return
in this
competition,
please
read
carefully
the next
section
and
learn
how you
can
boost
your
chances
for
positive
returns
next
time.
Yalicoo
is like
real
life
trading,
but
better …
Last
Friday
marked
the 20th
anniversary
of the
1987
stock
market
crash,
known as
Black
Monday.
On that
October
day, the
Dow
Jones
index
plummeted
22.6%.
Nowadays,
the
market
is
totally
different
but
theoretically
such a
significant
drop can
happen
again.
Well,
not if
you
participate
in
Yalicoo.
Let me
remind
you that
in
Yalicoo
you have
the
“Reset
Portfolio”
option.
What
does it
do? It
allows
you to
reset
your
portfolio
(yes,
all of
your
holding
and
possibly
losses
will be
erased!)
and
start
playing
again
without
experiencing
any
losses.
This is
a big
advantage
that
Yalicoo
has over
real
market
trading.
But
remember,
“Reset”
can be
done
only
once in
each
competition,
so use
this
option
wisely
and when
the time
is
right.
I hope
that by
now you
understand
why I
told you
that
Yalicoo
is
better
option
then
real
life
trading
in order
to
develop
your own
investment
style…
