It is set to open below your stop loss and hand you an ugly loss – a loss much bigger than you … Continue reading “How to Handle a Worst-Case Stock Scenario” The post How to Handle a Worst-Case Stock Scenario appeared first on Stock Surge Daily.

A Low Risk Trade for a High Risk Market

The market action is ugly this week. But that doesn’t mean that every stock is going down. When a stock shows strength in a bearish market, that’s a very good sign. If the indexes are down, but your stock is up… There’s a good chance it will outpace the market further once things turn around. … Continue reading “A Low Risk Trade for a High Risk Market” The post A Low Risk Trade for a High Risk Market appeared first on Stock Surge Daily.

Kimco Realty Corporation Kimco Realty Corporation (KIM) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that has a focus on open-air shopping malls.

This is what is known as a “base.” The way to make money is to identify these bases… Learn to interpret when they are coming to an end… And … Continue reading “The Base of a Great Trade” The post The Base of a Great Trade appeared first on Stock Surge Daily.
