| Traders Getting Organized |
| ||||||
| Get organized, first thing is get your broker's phone number along with your account number and keep it in a safe accessible place near your PC. You'll never know when you may have an internet connection problem or even worse your online broker's site goes down. As you would think these ocurrences seem to happen at the worst possible time, when the market or your stock is selling off in a big way. Next buy a desk calendar, something large enough that provides sufficient writing space that you can write market or stock information on in any given date area. Most office supply stores offer an inexpensive 15"x22" desk size for about 2.49 or so. A good place to try is OfficeMax.com There are also many online calendars you may use like the one used at earnings.com (my personal favorite!) One of the things you will want to enter on the calendar is company earnings release information. You will want to write down stock symbols you follow in the date area on the anticipated date that the company is expected to release earnings. There are many earnings calendars available on the net where you can get this information. Try to fill out your calendar as far ahead as you can depending upon the information available to you. In each date of relevence fill in stock symbol, earnings estimate and actual L.Y. number. Earnings are one of the biggest events that can move your stock's share price, so knowing the release date and having it handy is crucial. Make sure to update the earnings information with any company pre-announcement news that may come out ahead of time. Company's sometimes warn ahead of time that they may miss their estimates or sometimes positively pre-announce that they will exceed estimates. (utilizing this information will be covered more indepth in Trading strategy lesson -Earnings) You should also keep track of company earnings for stocks in the same sector as the one you follow, the reason for this is a lot of times stocks will move in sympathy with each other in the same sector. (ex. If a semiconductor stock announces great earnings with future sales outlook strong, other stocks in the semiconductor group would likely receive a positive pop in their share price, or on the other side of the coin if the news is bad there may be a sell off.) Other key information to include on the desk calendar: Stock split dates and split amount (ex. 3-1 , 2-1 etc.) Upgrades and downgrades - from what to what (ex. from a buy to strong buy) New price targets announced by the analyst- (usually announced with the upgrade or downgrade) Any other market moving event. (ex. date the Fed meets to decide on interest rates, CPI report, unemployment report, financial news or reports that indicate inflation status) A great source for earnings calendars is at this page of dailystocks which offers links to over a dozen available earnings calendars.
