I made a change to the web page and have removed my offer to send out a report on how to make 15% on your investments if you subscribe to my newsletter. The reason is simple. I need to update the recommendation that I sent out when people subscribed so that the information is current. I put that link up, to get the free report, in April, 2010. I was recommending a stock that I identified using my stock analysis software. This is the same software that I used to identify Starbucks.

The stock I recommended in April, 2010 was selling for around $5 a share. I thought it had a good chance to go to $7.50 or maybe $9.00 in 12 to 18 months. I was wrong! After two years, the stock is selling for $17.00. People who signed up for the newsletter, got the report, and bought this little company at $5.00, are now sitting on 200+% profit.

If you’re like a lot of people, IF you bought the stock, you probably only bought 100 shares. You did this even though the company is listed on the AMEX and not really a penny stock. As I disclosed in the report, I bought the stock on January 25th at $3.50 a share plus commission. I bought 1500 shares. I bought another 1500 shares on November 3rd, 2010 at $3.62. Between my first purchase and my second purchase the stock hit a high of $5.20, back in the middle of April, 2010.

The stock was trading at $4.00 last October, 2011 and if I had any money to invest I would have purchased more at that price. Alas, I had no money available to invest. In November, the stock was trading around $10. So now what? When the stock hits $20, I will sell some to recoup my initial investment. Then I will set a trailing stop to lock in profits in case the market goes haywire. My trailing stop right now is set at $14.00, and as the stock moves up I will move the stop up accordingly.

I have 3,000 shares of this stock. I will look to sell about 1,000 shares at $20 which will allow me to recoup my initial investment and lock in gains of almost 100%. The other 2,000 shares I will let ride and keep moving my stops up to be sure that I don’t lose money in this crazy market.

For Taking Early Retirement (TER), I hope you are enjoying a great retirement or are close to that day!
