Top Stocks Extra - Buy Hold or Sell Signals

The fifth step of the StockGarden Trading System allows an investor to determine which Premier Stocks currently have Buy signals. It also displays the transaction status of all other Premier Stocks. All transaction signals--to Buy, Hold, or Sell--are issued by StockGarden on the weekend. The rank of a transaction signal, based upon StockGarden valuations--valuations determined by the ratio of price to value--may, and often does, change daily. Top Stocks Extra displays those changes and shows both the current and previous rank, alerting an investor to any positive or negative direction in the movement of a stock.

Although Hold or Sell signals may remain in effect for an indefinite period, a Buy signal for any Premier Stock, remains in effect for only one week--for the trading week that follows the weekend when the signal was issued. StockGarden recommends that investors check transaction signals each weekend. A quick review of Top Stocks Extra will reveal any change in the transaction status of any Premier Stock affected by the weekend update. This allows an investor to make an informed decision regarding acquisition of a Premier Stock, or regarding any other pending action pertaining to the stock. By checking the weekend update of Top Stocks Extra, an investor may be better prepared to take immediate action when the markets open on the next day of trading.

Basically, whether buying or selling a stock, there are only a few actions to be taken to benefit from Top Stocks Extra. An overview of those actions is shown below.

Select a small group of Premier Stocks for which Buy signals have been issued. StockGarden recommends choosing five Premier Stocks.

From that group of five Premier Stocks, select a single stock of greatest interest, a stock that you intend to acquire.

Next, StockGarden recommends that you employ step seven of the StockGarden Trading System--use the Limits Calculator to determine an advantageous Entry Price (buy price).

Issue a buy limit order for the selected Premier Stock before the market opens on the next trading day.

Hold the stock until a Sell signal is issued by the weekend update provided by Top Stocks Extra.

When a Sell signal is issued by Top Stocks Extra, place a sell limit order for the stock before the markets open the next trading day. The StockGarden Limits Calculator may also be used to compute an advantageous Exit Price (sell price). StockGarden strongly recommends that you take advantage of the benefits offered by using the Limits Calculator, step seven of the StockGarden Trading System.
