Should You Follow the Hype?

Recently there has been an increase in volatile plays in the market with stocks going up 50% in one day as well as 20% down in one day. Aside from this, we’ve also seen a number of parabolic plays which entails straight green candles with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) staying above 70. Naturally, the increase in volatility also causes an increase in “hype”.

Hype refers to the stock recommendations that we see on social media websites as well as from our friends. Despite the negative connotation, hype is not always bad. There are posts that show actual analysis but most of the time, we see posts such as “buy this stock now” without any actual analysis. In the trading community, the term for this type of trading is “Facebook Analysis.” The idea is to go on facebook, look at the posts, and buy stocks without due diligence. This sounds reckless right? That’s because it is.

What can go wrong with Facebook Analysis? On the one hand, you can lose a little bit of money. On the other hand, the worst thing that can happen to you is to profit multiple times through facebook analysis only to lose a lot of money when you oversize your trades because of position sizing. The second scenario is worse because aside from reinforcing bad habits, you will also have the urge to “revenge trade”. Revenge trading is basically taking riskier trades in the hopes of making back your losses. This starts a vicious cycle that is ultimately characteristic of gambling. So what can we do? Should we avoid hyped stocks all together?

Create a Trading Plan

The easiest way to protect yourself from hype is to create a trading plan complete with a trading thesis, entry signals, exit signals, position sizing, and tranching. To clarify some unfamiliar terms, a trading thesis is basically your theory for a stock. Is it a breakout play? Is the stock driven by some catalyst? Whatever it is, the rest of your trading plan should be based on your thesis. Meanwhile, tranching refers to buying (and selling) the stock multiple times as opposed to buying (and selling) your shares all at once. This might reduce the potential upside from a stock, but it also protects you from unexpected market activity. At the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with reading hype posts as long as you make your own objective analysis of the stock.

Listen to the Market

There might be some of you thinking that hyped stocks aren’t worth the risk. The reality is, you should not ignore hype posts because in order to be profitable, you need to follow the big money. The “big money” includes institutional traders that basically run the market. These institutional traders do not trade all types of stocks at once. Instead, they put their money in specific sectors such as mining, telcos, and services. This is where the expression “a rising tide lifts all boats” comes from. If one stock goes up 30%, stocks in the same sector will most likely rise up as well. If you miss out on the big market moves, chances are, you won’t be able to beat the market.

Conclusion
Taking advantage of hyped stocks all comes down to doing your analysis. No matter how many recommendations you see about a stock, you should never buy the stock right away, but at the same time, you also shouldn’t dismiss hyped stocks right away. Always remember to follow the big money but do your own analysis. Hopefully, through this article, you will never buy (and dismiss) a hyped stock right away.

Featured Trader of the Week: Blitzkrieg

Amidst the rise of the local index, more names have emerged as potential market leaders. It is expected that more would flourish once the 6500 levels breach. With that being said, several names have shown signs of strength before the imminent breakout of the said levels.

Blitzkrieg (@blitzkrieg08) successfully spotted one of those stocks — Shakey’s Pizza Asia Ventures, Inc., or $PIZZA. This trader is an active member of the Investagrams community who endlessly provides his analysis of local stocks with the use of Technical Analysis.

The said name formed a long consolidation phase that started back in April 2020. As seen in the chart, the said phase was accompanied by dried up volume. Once the breakout occurred, it was supported with such volume activity that was last exhibited before the consolidation period in April 2020. The said up move was also in confluence with the breach of the 200-day moving average, that further validifies its current trend.

Besides the breakout of the pivot high at around the 7-peso area, a triangle breakout also happened in confluence with the 100-day moving average around the 6-peso area. The said scenarios could have been a flawless tranching setup.

It is a low-risk, high-reward trade, as the stop loss levels for the said breakout point of the triangle pattern is around 5.74 (-4%), and the take profit areas could be the structural resistance at 7 to 8 peso area (17% to 30%). Moreover, the stop-loss levels for the said breakout of the pivot high at the 7-peso levels could be around 6.65 (-5%), and the take profit levels of such would be 8 to 9-peso area (15% to 29%). 

$PIZZA must hold its ground around the 7-peso levels to further solidify its stance. The said stock should form a consolidation phase to provide some sort of leverage in its state before it reaches its structural and psychological resistance levels. Indeed, the rise of the $PSEi boosted this stock’s plight.

It is a non-negotiable for traders to accept the fact that every moment in the market is unique, therefore it is imperative to manage one’s expectation in a certain trade. Hence, exempting proper risk management to mitigate potential hazards is a deadly sin for traders and investors.

Congratulations to those who were able to maximize $PIZZA’s monstrous move. Lastly, kudos again to Blitzkrieg (@blitzkrieg08) for sharing his trade analysis. Your FREE 1-Month InvestaPRO is on its way!

This Should Be Your First Habit Towards Financial Freedom

It’s very common to hear that the first step to financial freedom is saving. Easy enough to say, many are still having difficulty into walking into the path of financial journey.

“Mag-ipon ka lang, tapos invest!”

It’s not the same ride for everyone of us. We all have different privileges in life. We all have different risks. Fundamentally, everyone needs to know that we need to minimize expenses, and maximize savings. Is that possible? Yes, it is!

What’s your current state right now? Tipid-tipid din kapatid. That’s right! However, in reality, these things are difficult to handle; expenses here, liabilities there, payments are everywhere.

Look into the world with the lens of saving and investing. Without any savings or extra money, investing will be difficult. The purpose of saving is to be financially free, and to live tomorrow without doubts in expenses or even emergencies.

Take it or leave it, it’s easier to spend than to save. Think of your future, or even the people around you. Sometimes, life would only give you enough money to survive; it’s difficult to even support those who are in need or even get what you need. Improve on that and get to your starting line, be a game changer!

Saving is not all about getting a portion of your money for your emergency funds or even getting what is left. It’s also about spending wisely.

If you are having difficulties in saving, you might want to try this as well. There are various applications for budgeting that are currently emerging. What is good about the applications are being free and convenient. You might be asking what change could it bring for you to try the applications such as GCash, Shoppee, Lazada, or PayMaya, if the only thing it brings is a change of payment or transactions.

These applications are not just for your convenience in shopping. It offers so much more than that! Try and download these applications in your gadget, and try to scroll on it. These apps allow the user to use discounts, rebates, promos, and even free shipping. 

Interesting, right? Hearing these things would not only make your shopping fun, it could also help you a lot in your finances. You can either avail the promos, use free delivery coupons, or even your vouchers. Besides buying on sales and bundles, these things would help you save up. Especially that now is the time to use online platforms for your necessities.

Now, this is only one of the many things you can do to save ad spend wisely. You could also try exploring on more ways how to spend wisely such as using online banks for your payments or even choosing to cook at home than call on Jollibee delivery.

As long as you have the heart to manage your finances, continue to have that discipline in managing your finances. Remember, your future is also your responsibility; the first step to create a better future for you and your family is to be well-informed and guided with how you follow your finances.

Featured Trader of the Week: Kaliwetengtrader

The $PSEi rose drastically until the 6500 levels were hit. This has served to be the structural resistance levels of the said local barometer. Although given the said situation, several market leaders have emerged given that a healthy pullback exhibited itself per the price action of the said index.

Kaliwetengtrader (@thelefthandedtrader) successfully spotted one of those potential leaders — Philippine National Bank, or $PNB. This trader is an active member of the Investagrams community who endlessly provides his thorough examination of local names with the use of Technical Analysis.

As seen in the price action of the said name, after creating a big move last September 10, 2020, the stock created a consolidation pattern. Despite its volatility based on its DNA, specifically, the candlestick behavior with regards to its wicks, the breakout of the said stock was supported with enormous volume.

Kaliwetengtrader (@thelefthandedtrader) also mentioned the technique of associating a name’s breakout to that of a confluence in a breach of the RSI (14) 70 levels. When a stock manages to breakout of the pivot high of an underlying base accompanied by the said RSI parameter, it further solidifies the said move. 

The breakout is also in confluence with the breach of the MA200, which further supports its case for ascendancy. It is a must for the stock to hold at least the 25-peso area as it is a psychological and structural support level of the said name. Moreover, the stock should consolidate to amplify its buildup. 

It is stated in books that the RSI (14) 70 levels serve as the overbought area, deeming that the stock should not be purchased if the said parameter is reached. Although we must take note that the RSI indicator works best for consolidating or sideways price movement. Once it breaches the RSI (14) 70 levels in a trending price action manner, then it is safe to assume that the stock has entered a parabolic state. 

A breakout of the 25-peso pivot area was an ideal buy point as it was the confirmation of the breakout in confluence with the RSI (14) 70 and the MA200 breach. It is a low-risk, high-reward trade, as the stop loss levels for the said breakout point is below 24-peso area (-4%), and the take profit areas could be the structural resistance at 30 to 31-peso area (19% to 24%). 

As stated by Kaliwetengtrader (@thelefthandedtrader), it is imperative for a market participant to always plan their trades. Risks in the financial markets are inevitable, therefore one must discern their execution if the stock emerges or fails. 

Congratulations to those who were able to maximize $PNB’s initial breakout. Lastly, kudos again to Kaliwetengtrader (@thelefthandedtrader) for sharing his trade analysis. Your FREE 1-Month InvestaPRO is on its way!

Overtrading: The Reality of Opportunity Cost

The main goal of trading is to achieve financial freedom. However, profiting from trading does not necessarily equate to financial freedom. There are significant metrics that should be taken into account in order to determine whether your trading system is actually helping you get closer and closer to that dream of financial freedom. This article provides insight on what to look out for when measuring your performance. 

Returns

An easy way to visualize your actual returns is to divide your total profits over the total hours(days) you have spent on trading. Are you making more money than you do on your regular job/business or are you earning way below minimum wage?

Of course, we should also take into account that trading is a lifelong journey and past performance is not an indicator of future results. However, figuring out how much money you make per hour on trading will help you determine whether or not your system is profitable. You do not necessarily have to quit trading but maybe you have to reevaluate your system. 

The key takeaway is to determine whether or not active trading is truly for you. Perhaps it would be more profitable to just passively invest and work on a different project (e.g. an online business). This is called opportunity cost.

In this scenario, the computation for opportunity cost goes as follows: profits that you could have made from doing something else (e.g. online business) minus the profits that you actually make from trading.. Ultimately, the decision is up to you but this is an important metric to determine whether or not trading is actually making you money.

Composition of your Day

How much time do you spend trading every day? Picture this, if you are trading for 4 hours everyday and you sleep for 8 hours everyday, you are effectively spending a quarter of your time awake on trading. It is easy to get caught up in stocks during market hours but putting things into proportion really puts things into perspective.

Do your returns match the proportion that trading takes up in your day? If it doesn’t, then you can do two things: spend less time trading or get greater returns. The former action is passive while the latter requires more dedication. This choice is dependent on how much time and effort you are willing to put into trading.

Efficiency

Assuming that you spend 4 hours every day trading, do you really need the whole four hours? In most cases, it is worth exploring trading tools such as screeners and price alerts. This will reduce the time that you spend actually trading without having to sacrifice potential returns. Remember, sticking to your trading plan is key to success. If you have a trading plan, there is no real need to monitor the markets yourself!

Conclusion

Ultimately, we should accept the fact that the key to financial success is to capitalize on our individual strengths. Some people are simply good at trading while others might be even better at something else.

With this said, trading can be for everyone but we should always take into consideration the amount of time and effort that we are willing to put into it. It is important to devote our time to things that we are actually good at in order to increase our impact not just to ourselves but our impact to the world as well.
