 7 Commandments of Stocks August 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The first and most important commandment is to buy
what other investors do not want in the short term.
So, buy low and buy cheap. For instance, Ford Motors
sells for under $5. right now. For consumers who believe
that the company will recover, an investment now could
yield considerable benefits as the hybrid cars roll out
in a few years.
Generally, buy at the bottom while others panic.
You'll have the whole upward part of the curve to make profit.
As a rule, choose standout companies that buck the trend
in downward markets. These stocks are out of phase with
the current market. The investments go up while the rest
of the market is tanking. Examples are Petsmart,
Crowdgather, Carmax and many stocks in the commodity areas.
Some investors like to set a target for a stock and sell
when the target profit has been reached. This is a good
short term strategy. Some stocks continue to go up so that
a short term strategy can fail to exploit long term trends.
Insiders buy to make money so watch what top managers buy.
A review of SEC filings could produce some top performers
over the long term. The book gives a number of stocks
for investors to consider over the long term. i.e.
o Apple Computer
o Boeing
o CVS
o Genentech
o Petrobas
A significant market downturn can provide a much bigger
upside or buying opportunity. Another good strategy is to
buy stocks that consistently pay dividends. Take these
dividends and reinvest to grow the portfolio by multiples
over the long term.
This book would be a good acquisition for new or intermediate
level investors.
Very timely July 13, 2008
This book is very timely.
Not only does it make reference to the credit crunch and its knock-on effects on -- for example -- housebuilders' share prices, but it also suggests how you might benefit from the present situation by buying into the distressed companies.
Of course, you need to be careful here -- and the book does tell you to be sure of your research first.

 Timeless 7 commandments! June 10, 2008

Gene has distilled his more than 3 decades of experience in the stock market into this wonderful book "7 commandments of stock investing". The advice he offers is practical and when put to use can get great returns for even an average investor. I have been following Gene Marcial's picks on Inside WallStreet column in Businessweek for almost 2 years now and his picks have consistently beaten the S&P500 and DJIA. Whether you are a novice to the stock market or a seasoned pro, the book has absolutely invaluable advice. Read this book and you won't be disappointed.

Reason to read this book-Gene Marcial's selections of stocks have outperformed both the DJIA and S+P every year for the past 10 years.
