Book Reviews of Gene Marcial's 7 Commandments of Stock Investing
Book Review: 7 Commandments of Stocks
Summary: 5 Stars
The first and most important commandment is to buy
what other investors do not want in the short term.
So, buy low and buy cheap. For instance, Ford Motors
sells for under $5. right now. For consumers who believe
that the company will recover, an investment now could
yield considerable benefits as the hybrid cars roll out
in a few years.
Generally, buy at the bottom while others panic.
You'll have the whole upward part of the curve to make profit.
As a rule, choose standout companies that buck the trend
in downward markets. These stocks are out of phase with
the current market. The investments go up while the rest
of the market is tanking. Examples are Petsmart,
Crowdgather, Carmax and many stocks in the commodity areas.
Some investors like to set a target for a stock and sell
when the target profit has been reached. This is a good
short term strategy. Some stocks continue to go up so that
a short term strategy can fail to exploit long term trends.
Insiders buy to make money so watch what top managers buy.
A review of SEC filings could produce some top performers
over the long term. The book gives a number of stocks
for investors to consider over the long term. i.e.
o Apple Computer
o Boeing
o CVS
o Genentech
o Petrobas
A significant market downturn can provide a much bigger
upside or buying opportunity. Another good strategy is to
buy stocks that consistently pay dividends. Take these
dividends and reinvest to grow the portfolio by multiples
over the long term.
This book would be a good acquisition for new or intermediate
level investors.
