"Buying stocks in long-term downtrends will significantly lower your odds of owning a big winner. If you want to increase the odds, you should focus on stocks that are in a confirmed uptrend."

"History clearly shows that virtually every super performance stock was in a definite uptrend before experiencing its big advance. In fact, 99% of them traded above their 200-day moving average before their huge advance and 96% traded above their 50-day moving average."

"I never place much faith in my fundamental ideas about a particular company without confirmation from the market, namely, the price of the stock."

"Even if you're correct in your fundamental analysis, investor perception is what creates buy orders and you are going to need big buy orders in your stock to move it up significantly."

"Keep in mind that if the institutional investment community doesn't see what you see, your stock could sit dormant for an extended period of time. Why sit and wait when you can put your money elsewhere?"

"To compound your capital, you must be where the action is. You can't afford to have your money tied up in a stock waiting for what you think is a great fundamental story to get noticed by the rest of the world."

"Stocks very often top out while earnings still look good."

"Learn to do your own analysis and base your purchases on sound criteria, not because someone else says a broken stock is good value."

"Don't listen to the company or the media; listen to the stock."

"Many times before a fundamental problem is evident, there will be a hint in the form of a material change in price behavior. That change should always be respected even if you don't see any reason for the sudden change in sentiment."

"Having the long-term trend on your side is like sailing with the wind at your back. If there's no wind, you're dead in the water, and if the wind is against you, you have little chance of moving forward."

"Publicly traded companies tend to fall into one of six categories: 1) Market Leaders 2) Top Competitors 3) Institutional Favorites 4) Turnaround Situations 5) Cyclical Stocks 6) Past Leaders and Laggards"

"Market leaders are easy to spot, but most investors have psychological difficulty deciding to buy them."

"Institutions that know enough about a company and its future prospects provide the buying power. They are not concerned about how far the stock has already advanced, but about where it's going and what the prospects are for future growth."

"On March 18, 2009, just seven days after the NASDAQ traded at its bear market low and only 10 days after the Dow Jones traded at its bear market low, $NFLX hit an all-time high."

"Stocks don't necessarily stay in one category forever. $AAPL was a turnaround situation that morphed into a growth stock and since then has reached institutional favorite status."

"At the bottom of a cyclical swing, the following things happen: 1) Earnings are falling 2) Dividends may be cut or omitted 3) The P/E ratio is high 4) News is generally bad."

"At the top of a cyclical swing, the following things happen: 1) Earnings are moving up 2) Dividends are being raised 3) The P/E ratio is low 4) News is generally good."

"Laggards usually appear to be relatively cheaper than market leaders, and that attracts unskilled investors."

"There's always a reason why one stock trades at a high multiple and another trades at a low multiple. More times than not, the expensive market leader is actually cheap and the laggard is really the more expensive choice."
