A visual representation of information is much better than plain data.  A picture is worth a thousand words.   During my recent trading experience, I’ve found that many of the factors that affects the stock price are not captured by the technical indicators.   To improve my trading, I decided to make my own indicators that makes sense to me, and put them in a graphical presentation.

I have been trading for 5 weeks already.   It is very easy to experience the battle between emotion and reason.  And many times I have given in to my emotions.   Since the stock market is fractal, I believe that the following adage by warren buffet works in both short term and long term investing:

“Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful.”

Easily said than done, a great deal self-control and courage is required.  In addition, it is easy to be overly self-controlling (sell off a winner) or overly courageous (buy into a loser).   Human emotions are conditioned by evolution to react to the most recent changes, therefore following price too closely has a negative influence on rational decision making.  However, not following the price close enough makes us slow to adapt to new changes in the business and investment landscape.

Recently as I am trading undervalue stocks, I notice that significant gain can be triggered by positive news on these stocks. Fundamentally strong stocks with beaten down prices and high levels of short interests can easily fall into a phenomenon called “Short Squeeze”. Short Squeezes happen when a bearish stock turns around, creating elevated prices that forces the shorts to buy to cover, which in turn takes the price even higher. In a way, it is basically a bearish “bubble”.

Since short squeeze often creates opportunities for huge gains. I decided to create a list of fundamentally strong and undervalued stocks and observe their short interest. This list would be automatically updated on a regular basis.

As our society today are filled with distractions such as TV Shows, Movies, Facebook, YouTube, Text Messaging, My Space, Video Games, Sports, etc, we no longer have the time to think and introspect.
