27 FebWith Little Cash, Invest In Penny Stocks – NASDAQ Investing

If you have always wanted to get into the stock market but did not know where to begin, penny stocks are worth investigating. While today they do not necessarily cost pennies, they are under five dollars per share and often overlooked.

The term penny stock once meant exactly that; stocks that sold for pennies. Today, the SEC and the brokers include those less than five dollars though the term is still used. With some due diligence, you can find those to invest in that, while inexpensive, will make money for you. Many new companies begin with modest price points and as they grow, so does their stock. Well-known companies can fall for any number of reasons, but will have a stunning comeback with restructuring or new management. Auto companies are a case in point.

Your first actual move will be to establish an account with a brokerage company. There are many. Get a personal recommendation or look online. Read reviews. Once your account is set, they will walk you through the technical aspects. They will not tell you what stock to pick. That will be your job.

Before investing, follow a few companies for a month. See if you can predict where they will go. Watch the market to learn how savvy you are when it comes to picking. Try out one of the online virtual stock sites. You set up an imaginary account and practice buying and selling. It is fun and a real learning experience without risk.

The number one risk with penny stocks is the obscure bottom line of a company. Small companies are not as likely to have their spread sheets out there. If a company is too secretive, move on. You have to wonder what they are hiding and as a beginner, question everything.

You can contact a company for stock information. Many have customer service representatives for this purpose. One good way to invest is to buy what you know. Pick companies that offer products or services you are familiar with whether it be software, fashion or soft drinks. What you know will keep you interested and a chance to flex skills you may already have.

There are many newsletters available to advise you on penny stocks. Subscribe to one or more. A quick look online, you will find many links to sites that help research firms. But continue your own research; and be on the lookout for tips. Any little piece of information heard at a party can be a big tip-off. Stay alert.

Try to stick with the big exchanges. They are more regulated and offer more information. Read the stock pages in the financial journals. Learn what all the signs and symbols mean. There are letters indicating bankruptcy and just about any other risk factors you might encounter. Get really adept at deciphering what it all means.

If possible, avoid actual penny stocks: those selling for pennies or fractions of pennies. Learn about the Pink Sheet market. Yes, there are companies trading in cents, but be cautious. Do not rule out small or new companies if you think they have a chance at growth. This is where your due diligence will reward you. You may only have pennies today, but with keen insight and savvy research, you will be trading in the big league tomorrow.

First Stop Loss Point Triggered for 2012 Solar Stocks Portfolio; Yingli Green Energy Holding (NYSE:YGE)

New York, New York- February 3, 2012- Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research for independent investors releases solar stocks commentary from solar expert,
J Peter Lynch. ?Mr. Lynch discusses the first stop loss order for his 2012 solar stocks portfolio, Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE).

Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch at Investorideas.com
http://www.investorideas.com/PL/
Our first stop loss point for our 2012 Solar Portfolio was triggered this morning with YGE trading below $4.20. We did not question our system; we simply follow it and sold the position for a small gain of 1.92% on the YGE trade.
The current status of the portfolio is an unrealized Gain of 13.92% from the positions we did not sell yet PLUS the 1.92% gain on our stop loss trade.
As a reminder below are the stop loss points I have selected based upon technical support levels in each stock. I have set these stop points very close, since, as I mentioned in the last article I did expect the markets to pull back due to the fact that they are short term overbought.
The stops for the 5 stocks in our Solar Portfolio are.
CSIQ - $3.60
GTAT - $8.25
LDK - $4.70
TSL - $7.50
YGE - $4.20
If any of these stocks reach these levels I would recommend selling that position.
Remember ? the number one rule of investing:
Minimize your LOSSES and Maximize your GAINS.
The HARDEST THING for investors to do is know when to sell. That is why you have to set specific, non-emotional prices to exit if things do not go right. You cannot allow your emotions to get involved and take over your thinking.
Remember: markets fool the majority of investors by ?Climbing a Wall of Worry? which is exactly what it is doing now. Losses start and keep getting worse when investors get on the ?Slides of Hope? and try and hope that their stock comes back ? trust me, this is a technique that will NOT work. ?Trust in your system and follow it.
If you looked at the portfolios of the most successful investors you would, in general, see the following pattern:
Approximately 80% of trades would be either small losses and/or small gains and approximately 20% would be very significant gains. This is exactly how we dramatically outperformed the markets in 2010 and 2011. We cut our losses when things did not work out and we let our profitable stock run and maximize our gains.
Background Notes
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below are a brief description of each and its primary purpose:
Fundamental Analysis ? this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of a company to identify which stocks you may want to buy when the timing is right. ?This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy a stock or sell a stock.
Technical Analysis ? this form of analysis will tell you ?when? to buy a stock and when to sell the stock. It will do this by showing you (in chart format) the basic interaction of supply and demand and when the two change and shift which will indicate a time to buy or a time to sell.

28 JanDown the Apple food chain, profits and some worry

(AP) ? If you like Apple’s stock, you’re going to love its suppliers.

The companies that make iPhone casings, chips for the iPad and other components are attracting so many investors, they’re making the stock of the beloved tech juggernaut look like it’s gathering dust.

Many are virtual unknowns, sporting names like TriQuint Semiconductor, Aphenol and the hopeful-sounding Skyworks Solutions, but that may be why they’re doing so well. Apple has risen 10 percent this year, but these companies are up two or three times more.

Investors apparently are hoping supplier anonymity means bargains, and they’re scooping up shares with gusto ? maybe too much gusto.

“People are thinking the Apple goodies aren’t baked into the stock yet,” says Pacific Crest analyst Nathan Johnsen, referring to TriQuint, which he thinks is no bargain after its 24 percent jump so far this year.

Fueling the latest spurt higher was Apple’s announcement Tuesday that it sold 37 million iPhones in the last three months of 2011, trouncing analysts’ already high expectations. It turned a record $13 billion profit for the quarter.

Apple stock, which traded at $100 as recently as March 2009 and at $200 as recently as February 2010, closed at $446 on Wednesday.

Apple is set to regain its position as the world’s largest maker of smartphones. For parts makers, it is unchallenged as their most sought-after customer.

Part of the difficulty of investing in Apple suppliers is the mystery surrounding them. Apple’s notorious secrecy means it’s tough knowing even whom they’re buying from, much less for how much.

Hence the enthusiasm when analysts and bloggers crack open iPhones, a process called teardowns, and write tell-alls.

In a recent report following a teardown of the iPhone 4S, research firm IHS Inc. touted a component it uncovered that allows the phone to work on different wireless systems worldwide. It fingered Avago Technologies as the supplier.

“We believe this is one of the unsung heroes of the iPhone 4S,” Vijay Rakesh, an analyst for broker Sterne Agee, wrote in a report Wednesday.

Avago is up 18 percent this year.

Other suppliers rising fast include Jabil Circuit Inc., up 17 percent this year, and audio chip maker Cirrus Logic Inc., up 39 percent.

One Cirrus fan, Tore Svanberg, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus, published a report Jan. 10 noting that the semiconductor maker was trading at 11 times its expected per share earnings for the coming year, a bargain next to its rivals’ 21 times.

The stock has risen more than a third since, but Svanberg still thinks it’s worth buying because of its close ties to Apple. “The stock has been trading like it’s a problem,” he adds.

Perhaps for good reason. Professional investors like to buy suppliers with many customers so that if one cancels a contract, profits will still roll in. In Cirrus’ latest quarterly report filed with regulators, Apple accounted for 59 percent of its sales.

Another danger for suppliers is becoming Apple-obsessed ? so worried over losing their contract with the big guys that they neglect other buyers.

Before it shot up recently, the stock of TriQuint, a supplier of power amplifiers that help iPhones communicate with cell towers, was falling fast. It was down 58 percent in 2011.

A big reason: The company turned over so much of its factories to churning out parts for Apple, it couldn’t keep up with orders from rivals making Android phones, according to Pacific Crest’s Johnsen.

Things got so bad, he says, that at one point the company had to help Android makers find new suppliers.

He says investors might be making a mistake bidding up TriQuint stock.

“They’ve held on to Apple, but outside of that company, they’ll be suffering,” Johnsen predicts. “Supplying Apple is a double-edged sword.”

11 JanApple CEO Tim Cook could top pay list in 2011

(AP) ? Tim Cook could well end up being the highest paid CEO in America in 2011, after Apple Inc. granted him a million restricted stock units last August for taking the reins shortly before co-founder Steve Jobs died.

An Associated Press review of a securities filing shows Cook’s pay package was valued at $378 million. The vast majority came in a grant of a million restricted stock units worth $376 million at the time. Half of the stock units will vest in August 2016, the other half in August 2021.

His salary and performance bonus, about $900,000 each, made up much of the rest. He also made $16,520 from company contributions to a 401(k) retirement account and company-paid life insurance premiums.

In comparison, Jobs accepted a $1 annual salary for years and owned about 5.5 million shares, worth about $2.3 billion today.

In total, Cook has about 1.36 million restricted shares that haven’t yet vested and 13,754 regular shares worth a combined $580 million, the filing showed.

Cook’s award is well above that given to Philippe Dauman, the Viacom Inc. chief executive who led the top paid CEOs of 2010 with an $84.5 million haul based on a new contract that granted him shares and stock options.

Cook’s pay package was also valued at more than all of the next nine highest paid CEOs of 2010 combined, or about $356 million.

Apple said that its compensation goal is to encourage long-term results above short-term risk-taking, and the 51-year-old former chief operating officer won’t begin to reap the actual benefits of the stock award for another four years.

But Securities and Exchange Commission rules compel companies to book a share grant’s value in the year it is granted, making Cook’s whopper of a pay package unlikely to be beat.

Cook’s share grant was already known last year. The filing disclosed that the company also decided in November to raise his base annual salary to $1.4 million and double the bonus target for paid executives to 100 percent of their annual salary.

Apple said it raised the bonus target to keep its executive pay more in line with that of other technology and entertainment peers like Google Inc. or The Walt Disney Co.

The filing was released the same day Apple shares reached a new high in midday trading, briefly hitting $427.75 before falling back to close at $421.73.

The AP formula calculates an executive’s total compensation during the last fiscal year by adding salary, bonuses, perks, above-market interest the company pays on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The AP formula does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits. That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the SEC.
