 Visualizing Cyclicals on the SSG

• Approximately 3/4s of all stocks are cyclicals. You just may not know it.
• The US experienced its longest bull market ever from late 2008 to early 2020.
• There is a subtlety to cyclicals.
• Learn how to use the Visual Analysis to understand cyclicals
• A review of Ellis Traub’s book “Take Stock” we can adjust the visual analysis to get better understanding of how the company operates.
• You need to make the visual analysis relevant.
• Measuring the strength of the growth
• Eliminate outliers

Six Signs Your Stock is Too Good to be True

• When your potential price appreciation moves from100% to be closer to 200% (or more) you might have been too optimistic.
• Let’s dissect why this might be too good to be true.
• Is your stock selling at a historically low value (P/E)?
• Just like diagramming a sentence,  diagram the results of your judgment. Let's see if the conclusion is reasonable.

Updating Your SSG:  Dos & Don'ts

• There is more to a stock update than updating the price.
• There is more to a stock update than reading the latest issue of Value Line.
• Learn how to complete a stock update in a clear and understandable fashion.
• Many times a stock update may look like a certain BUY when you should consider a SELL or HOLD.
• Other times a stock update may look like a certain SELL when you should consider it a BUY or HOLD.
• This class will walk you through the steps of a stock update.
