Mark Krieger is an avid stock market fan dedicated to the following ideals: (1) Focus on high relative strength, (2) Buy low, sell high (3) Short high, cover low, (4) Go against the crowd, (5) It's all about the rules and discipline, baby! (6) Analyze the balance sheet-seek low debt,high cash and hidden value scenarios (7) Cut your losses short, let your gains run, (7) Don’t get emotional, (8) Follow the insiders- buy if they are buying, sell if they are selling (9) Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.(10) Don't argue with the market-it is smarter than you are (11) the trend is your friend. In summary, some of these ideas might be contrued as rather trite and overused, but consistent use ...More of them pays off in the long run.
