The Blog is Growing!

Page views and visits were up by more than 30% for the best month ever for chrisperruna.com. Thank you – I really do appreciate every single reader of this blog and especially readers that leave their excellent comments!

I end each month by taking a step back and looking at the tremendous progress that this blog is making with visits and page views. My goal is to become one of the best stock market blogs offering quality and unbiased equity research along with the education to help you succeed.

Starting this month, I will be adding a feature called:
Daily Screens, something I produced for my equity research firm for several years. These daily screens will locate stocks making strong moves during the trading week with the types of characteristics that we search out nightly.

Any stock can be purchased from the daily screen after its debut but my strategy is to research these stocks further and allow them to prove their strength by watching them form patterns and entry opportunities based on specific risk-to-reward setups. All stocks making a daily screen must pass specific fundamental and technical criteria which will be explained in each post. Some general market analysis on the major market indexes may be given during daily screens along with major emphasis on the strongest industries and sectors of the day.

chrisperruna.com will now be taking the next step towards becoming the best equity research blog (and website) on the web. MSW was a success and a profitable site (to me and users) but only 700 or so people ever had the luxury of following my work (from 2005 to 2007). With page views in a respectable area, I now feel it is worth my time to reproduce the actual research I use when making my buy and sell decisions here on this free blog. You will also know first hand where and when I find specific stocks for case studies (something I have been doing on the blog for years).

Not every stock will have a chart on the blog but many if not all of them will be highlighted on my real time annotated stockcharts page through this link:

Help Create a Stock E-book

Craig, a.k.a Taz Trader, over at the Swing-Trade-Stocks has thought of an excellent idea that many of you can contribute to. He recently setup an area on his blog where experienced traders can offer some insight and strategies towards becoming successful. He explains it best, so read on (I have already posted my first page, How to Calculate a Stock’s Pivot Point, on his site that may be used in his free e-book).

When we get enough submissions, we will take all of the ideas, tips, and strategies and put them into one big e-book. It will be given away for free on this website! Just one big book filled with stock market and technical analysis information.

Reading through just one e-book on trading stocks that is filled with hundreds of trading tips and tricks will significantly help the newer traders out there. And the expert traders out there will probably learn a thing or two also!

What Would I Write About?
Anything related to trading stocks. Don’t think you know enough about trading stocks to submit a tip or strategy?

Think again!

Everyone knows of at least one little tip that helped them to become a better trader.

Something about candlestick analysis?

Something about trend lines?

Something about volume?

A technical indicator?

(you get the idea!)

Got a Website or Blog?
You may add your website address in this format at the bottom of your submission:

www.yourwebsite.com

I will convert it into a link before it goes live on the website (allow 24 hours).

This is a great idea if you ask me and I am glad to be a part of it!
p.s. – I am somewhat in vacation mode until next week so my posting will be “lite”!

Dog Days of Summer

It’s that time again where I must THANK all the readers of this blog as I wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for you. The site grew by double digits for the seventh consecutive month since launching chrisperruna.com in December. Thank you so much for being the biggest part of this community!

I added a picture page to the blog for anyone that is interested in seeing some mug shots of me and of course, my beautiful family. Follow this link or travel to the top right hand side of any page and click on the title: My Pictures

I’d also like to remind everyone that the charts you see on this blog are updated daily in real time with their annotations. Don’t forget my research and charts just because a blog post is no longer on the front page. I continuously update these charts on my stockcharts page.

Stock of the Day Performance

It’s time for a mid-year review here on chrisperruna.com. I have performed 24 “Stock of the Day” case studies since the start of 2007. Assuming that I was holding every stock to date, the combined portfolio is up approximately 26% with the lead gainer going to BIDU at 98%. The laggard must go to MPW at 12.01% loss. Yes, SHLD is down 12.84% but that is due to poor coverage by me when the stock was extended from a proper support level (besides, it’s more of a value stock than a growth stock so I was out of my league when doing the analysis). Either way, SHLD is a stock I would add long term as a value investor (IRA type stock or one I put into a child’s portfolio).

Keep in mind; the statistics below do not consider sell stops, stop losses, taking profits, etc… I haven’t organized the stocks into a true portfolio so the performance could have been better or worse based on actual trade decisions along the way. JSDA would be a perfect example as the stock reached a peak gain above 148% and is now only showing a gain of 25%. Several of the losers would have been cut quicker than the current losses showing that are greater than 7-10%.

The post is for fun, especially in this excellent up-trending market!

General Statistics:
75% win ratio (18 of 24 stocks showing a gain)
31% Average Winning Trade
7.5% Average losing Trade

97.75% – Top Gainer
12.84% – Worst Loser

149% – JSDA, Top Peak Gainer at High Price

Not bad considering I haven’t used any money management rules to achieve these results.
