    Hi First Adopter,

    When you said that you trade without trend lines / support and resistance, it impressed me. We’ve all heard the “Buy rumor / Sell news” theory. How do you make sure that the news is not already priced when it reaches the media or do you subscribe to specialized news services?

    Thanks,
    Ravi.

    My solar stocks Csiq Jaso Yge fell last week 15-30%
    Wil they go back up or will they keep dropping?

    Hi First Adopter,

    I just finished watching all the six videos that you had posted and I realized that my question is already answered. Is it right to say that any news released during market hours hit the desks of “Big Boys” first before it reaches the media? I see that some traders in twitter are able to catch the intraday spikes due to news releases and I wonder if there’s any alert service to help them.

    Thanks,
    Ravi.

    Ravi, there are lot of news services/sites that people use. MarketWatch.com has a good news headline page, Wall Street Journal’s homepage breaks news, Reuters has a website, Bloomberg.com often breaks news on their web-site. All the news I find is from public news sites like Yahoo Finance and online newspaper/newswire sites. Nothing special there.

    Frankly it’s not the news per se that is important (there is so much of it every day, it’s like drinking out of a fire hose), but it’s the experience, intuition, and judgement in what to do with the news. Is this news truly big and surprising? Is it already discounted in the stock and widely predicted and known? That just takes experience, lots of practice, and pattern recognition. There are no short-cuts.

    I hope my videos help though in teaching how I thought through ideas and what my best guess was on what was discounted and what was true surprise news.

    Also obviously the more people checking news, the better it is in finding new news. That’s why watching the live streams on StockTwits.com is also helpful.
