Linkfest

Linkfest time again.

For this week, we shall have:

1. A recent article in The Stock Advisors on Neil Macneale, who writes a newsletter that is based solely on stocks that have split their shares. Since July 1992, a portfolio based on this strategy grew 585%, nearly three times the 205% return of the S&P 500. Hmmm, I wonder how well a similar portfolio in Bursa will perform since we have many share splits of late. For more, go here.

2. Which works for you- investing via themes or based on a combination of value & growth? The Confused Capitalist thinks he may have the answer. (Here)

3. Some of you may have heard of Jim Cramer, the director and co-founder of TheStreet.com and former principal at hedge fund Cramer Berkowitz. His insight on the stock market is considered by many to be among the best on Wall Street. In Madd Money recently, we were given Jim's 10 Commandments of Trading. (here)

4. There are unconfirmed reports (reads: rumours) that there exists a group of powerful men in Washington, known as the Plunge Protection Team, which works secretly to protect the US stock market from plunging in critical moments, like right after September 11, 2001. From New York Post, we have this article that goes somewhere to confirm that this rumour may not be so wild after all.

5. Further warning signs that US economy may be in trouble. (here)

6. For those who wants to make trading a full-time profession, go here.

7. Other trading tools include Bollinger Bands, Multiple Moving Averages & Fibonacci Retracement.

Have a nice weekend.
