Mastering US Individual Stock Investing
Introduction
No one can control how stock prices move. What we can control is 'what to buy,' 'when to buy,' 'how much to buy,' and 'when to sell.' In the 'Individual Stock Investing Series,' we will examine the aspects we can manage: 'what to buy (stock selection),' 'when to buy (timing),' 'how much to buy (position sizing),' and 'when to sell (profit-taking/stop-loss timing).' The fundamental premise is a style known as trend following or momentum trading, where capital is deployed into stocks with upward-trending charts, focusing on short-term, granular trading of volatile individual stocks like US growth stocks. This series is primarily created by referencing books and videos from various great investors, such as U.S. Investing Champion Mark Minervini and David Ryan, as well as Ralph Vince and Howard Marks.
