About You

You are an independent individual who is willing to do the extra work and to go the extra mile. You crave knowledge, and want to know how "news breaking" events move the markets and your stocks.

You embrace technology, and you use it to help you make financial decisions. As a self-investor, you learn to analyze stocks based on fundamental and technical reasoning.

You are amused with the "hot penny stock tip" that supposedly made your neighbour rich, but you do not invest blindly and without reason. And for that matter, you value YOUR instincts more than anyone else.

About Market Analysis

I decided to create an investment page that targeted a broad range of people: from beginner to advanced investors and as such, Market Analysis was born on May 1998.

        The purpose of my page is to introduce to you my approach to investing. Different people have different reasons for playing the market, from making money, building up for retirement, or for fun. For me, it is a bit of everything, but mostly for the fun. In that sense, there is a type of challenge between oneself and the market. To a greater extent, it is the need to be unaffected by averse market changes and the ability to make investment decisions that are based on the Market Analysis investment style: monitoring an undervalued or oversold stock, evaluating its present and future worth, and determining its potential value versus potential risks.

The Internet remains a valuable source for information. The site also promises  to introduce you many important investment tools, to help you monitor your stocks, or to help you decide whether you should buy, sell, or hold a stock. Market Analysis will  constantly provide an updated analysis of the market. It will also provide recommendations on Canadian and US stocks, but I strongly urge you to track their performance first, find out as much as you can about the company, and to make an evaluation of your own tolerance for risk and compare that to the potential rewards. Most importantly, have fun doing it, because there is no joy in work one finds to be onerous.

My final note ends with a warning. Beware of the hidden dangers in the Internet world. There will be people and sites that promote penny stocks. One way Market Analysis minimizes risk is to never recommend stocks under $10.00 (Canadian), as the value of  "Penny stocks" is in often found in its name. Always remember: "if it is too good to be true, it probably is."
