One_on_One
 
One-time West Coast contributing editor of Futures Magazine, George Angell is the author of eight books on the futures and options markets, including Winning in the Futures Markets, which has been translated into Chinese, and is still in print 28 years after its first publication.  He was a Chicago floor trader during the Eighties and credits that experience for the success of West of Wall Street, which he co-wrote with S&P pit trader Barry Haigh during his Chicago years, and Sniper Trading, which tracks the valuable lessons he learned while on the floor.  In recent years, he hasturned toward trading small stocks.  'There are enormous sums of
money to be made trading undervalued small stocks,' says Angell, whose most recent two books -- Small Stock, Big Profits and The 50 Best Small Stocks for 2007 -- were published in the past year.  A graduate of New YorkUniversity, Angell currently resides in Key West, Florida which he considers the perfect antidote to the stress-filled years of the Chicago pit trader.

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)
 

By: George Angell

 

The following is an excerpt from George Angell's Small Stocks, Big Profits 

 

I have a friend who has made a career specializing in a single type of investment - initial public offerings.  IPO investing is a tailor-made for the small stock investor since so many new offerings come from companies just starting out.  Such public offerings attract a special type of investor, the kind that doesn't mind taking on substantial risk in pursuit of equally substantial profits.  The rule in investing is that risk is commensurate with reward.  In other words, you don't grow rich buying T-bills.  In the IPO world, the risk stems from lack of knowledge about a company since its track record may be thin and its trading record is often nonexistent.  To borrow from Charles Dickens, the IPO is the worst of all investments and the best of all investments.  It all depends on your perspective - and results.

The Free Trade
 
By: TradeWins Publishing Editors

The Free Trade combines the best principles of money management and the advantage of "undervalued" and "overvalued" options; however, the most exciting aspect of the free trade is that it allows you to build a large position in a trending market without increasing your initial risk.

The "FREE TRADE": A Quick Introduction

The Free Trade is used in trending markets to purchase options of low to medium volatility that are close to the money (particularly on pullbacks or reactions against the trend). Farther out-of-the-money options which can have much higher volatility levels are sold on rallies to complete the Free Trade.

Peter Lynch is probably the most successful mutual fund manager in history.  He started as an intern at Fidelity, eventually becoming the manager of the Fidelity Magellan fund which had $18 million dollars in assets when he took over.  Thirteen years later, the fund had grown to what was then a monstrous $14 billion fund.  The performance of the fund was beyond stellar, averaging a 29.2% return per year.  At that rate, you double your money every 30 months.

Extremely-High-Profit Trades

 

You'll discover this shocking secret yourself, once you open George Angell's
all-new book "Small Stocks . . . Big Profits"
Even Better - you're also about to learn
Exactly Where The Next Fortune Lies

 

I am going to reveal how you can make really big money even though youSmall Stocks, Big Profits may not have much to invest.

How you can discover an almost endless stream of stock market bargains that have tremendous upside potential . . . because they are not overbought and over-priced like the popular stocks promoted by analysts.

In fact, I'm not talking about the stock market the way you think of it now. I'm not talking about a bunch of blue-chip stocks to "buy and hold" for the next 20 years.

I'm talking about acquiring a fortune. What I'm talking about is completely different from "investing." I'm talking about making the kind of money that can set you free. A unique way of thinking about the market that can make your heart beat a little faster. And your wallet grow a lot fatter.
