Stock Guide // 2019 Q1

With a new year just beginning, it's a good time to review your investing process. In this edition of the MarketSmith? Stock Guide, we're starting 2019 by covering a smarter strategy you can use when buying stocks. If you're not pyramiding into your positions, you could be risking more than necessary if a trade goes against you. Check out our main article to find out how it works.

For our featured interview in December, we talked to bestselling author and investing champion Mark Minervini. In addition to winning the U.S. Investing Championship and being featured in the book Stock Market Wizards, Mark is a longtime MarketSmith subscriber who has used the platform for years to find new stocks. He shares some insights picked up during 30+ years of investing, including how to leave emotions out of investing and trade like a Wall Street veteran.

In the Coaches Corner, we interviewed Nikkolas Rosales, the newest member of the MarketSmith coaching team. Nikkolas is an active trader who watches the market from open to close, so he's got quite a few insights about investing. He also shared a custom screen he uses to find potential new buys in MarketSmith.

As always, if you have any questions or comments about your investing research or any MarketSmith features, please call one of our product coaches at (800) 831-2525 or email us at reachus@. We're here to help you make more money in the market.
