skipping level 1

[Centeron631]

Are there any pitfalls in not having level 1 of a stock and just going on to order level 2 and even level 3 of that stock? Why? I can think of one circumstance being when i have spent my $ total allotment for level 1 orders and want to increase my odds of using up my level 2 or level 3 allotments.

The MU service is both a guide and a weapon. Once you are comfortable with the methodlogy you are free to adapt to suit your needs. In fact, the idea is to teach individuals to fish also.

I hope your level 1 allotment is 67% of your portfolio with level 2 being 22% and level 3 being 11%. If you set aside 33% for each level you're going to have 40-50% in cash in perpetuity because most of Sol's picks don't take second and third fills.

or you can use the unallocated money to get into more stocks. Everyone has a limited amount of funds to invest and the reason we issue so many plays is for three reasons

• First not all the stocks will pullback, though a great many do
  Secondly, it provides individuals with a wider list to choose from. Everyone has a selection bias so a large number of picks helps deal with that ailment to some degree
  Thirdly and more importantly, it provides new subscribers with more options as once our stocks take off they usually don't shed much weight.

However, it is very important to remember that there is a difference between knowing and thinking you know. One is backed by arrogance, the other is encased with confidence. So if you have any doubts then wait until you are fully versed and comfortable with our methodology before customising it to suit your needs

That's what I was trying to say. I was cautioning against holding 2/3rds of the portfolio in cash waiting for second and third fills because all that cash would seriously hurt overall portfolio returns.

I have two questions I've been meaning to ask, slightly related to this topic. For those of you that enter into the suggested option trades, what size are your orders compared to regular stock plays? For example, if you target $1,000 per lot for stock trades, or a total of $3,000 for 3 lots, how much do you allocate for option trades? I've been stingy with options and only allocating about 25% of the amount of stock trades for fear of losing all of it. However, I'd like to invest more and would appreciate other members approach, reasoning and success rate.
2nd question, when Sol uses the term "monthly close" as in 'If this stock has a monthly close of X, then expect it to rise to Y'. I think it may mean that the price it closes at the last day of the month but I wasn't sure as I did not think that a month end close had any significance. Any explanation is appreciated. Thanks!

So am i hearing or seeing away from original premise or have had it wrong in my mind all along - if u have 100000 to invest divide into say 10 stocks =!0,000. and then 3,333 at each level for each stock? What is Sol saying exactly as not getting it. Are Erics %'s realistic and it seems to me those who have been around long enuf to have experienced the Back up the Truck episodes when the downers happen may have some ideas on that. thks ps what to do with spare cash especially with a senior senior like myself who has enuf to cover 6 years living expense already salted away in guaranteed investments gic's , And thank U Sol and Eric and hopefully as my limited understanding u r still on same page here.

I will provide three possible routes. One is the Tactical Investor route. We at TI wait for those mouth-watering opportunities that present themselves when one least expects them. Two that come to mind are When Trump won the elections and the covid crash. Then one has the opportunity to back the truck up and load up stocks and usually, they outperform all those that have been jumping in and out of the markets and investing up to 90% of their funds. However, this approach takes extreme discipline and patience, otherwise, you will go mad asking the question akin to the silly young lass plucking petals from a flower, while muttering “he loves, he loves me not”

The second option is to use sharp pullbacks to add to your positions. So let's say you have 100K, you divided that into ten parts of 10K and then into lots of 3.3K. Let’s say you invested in 10 stocks and on average you deployed 1.5 lots per play. This means you have about 50.5K left in cash. You can opt to deploy those funds into more plays, so this way you more positions where you have only 1/3rd of a position. Or you can wait for sharp pullbacks to add to your existing position (as long as they are still in our portfolio) or deploy ½ lot into brand new positions during this sharp pullback phase. To be considered a sharp pullback the Dow should shed at least 1800 points as it has now crossed 33K and that limit will soon be pushed to 2400.

The first strategy requires the patience of a turtle and the disciple of a ninja with the ability to execute when the time is necessary at the speed of a peregrine.



The other two require less in the form of discipline and patience. However, to put any of the above strategies into use, you have to understand our trading methodology backwards and not only that, you have to be able to look at fear in the face and laugh or at the very least smile. Now it’s time to choose your poison

Thanks Sol, I suspect many will find this excerpt quite useful. You may want to consider posting some refined version of this on your website and/or in some future edition of MU, perhaps in combination with updated entry points for the UTS (Universal Trigger Strategy).

have about 50.5K left in cash. You can opt to 1. deploy those funds into more plays, so this way you more positions where you have only 1/3rd of a position are u suggesting not waiting for level 2's and 3's back on 3.3k?. 2 Or you can wait for sharp pullbacks 2a to add to your existing position (as long as they are still in our portfolio)can this be into different companies other than original 10? at levels 2 and 3 orders or 2b deploy ½ lot 1.5kinto brand new positions during this sharp pullback phase. To be considered a sharp pullback the Dow should shed at least 1800 points as it has now crossed 33K and that limit will soon be pushed to 2400.

Sol im an expert at not being an expert especially in newer areas and sometimes even in not so newer areas. Is there a number there that u would favor or 2 equally? and dependent on the person? Yeah i agree that 50% is too much to keep on the sidelines

A couple of side questions for newbies: lets say u have only 30k to invest would u favor a total of 10 companies or 5 or 6 companies but some minimum so as to diversify risk? Other how long on average are companies invested in ie what range and have u and others had lots that have been invested in beyond 4 years? thks ever so much for all this and all u do here.

We will be posting new universal entry levels soon and taking into consideration the levels we are at. We just moved from very low to Low so that will impact the range. We will post some ideas in the MU and more details in the passcoded section of the site.

I want to emphasize again, that at no point in time should the I am ready to blast in attitude to take over. You have to understand our methodology and even when we take more risks it's all based on a calculated risk to reward approach. Throwing caution to the wind always pays poorly no matter how smart one thinks they are. The markets love to punish the arrogant. So make sure that when you take a position you are taking it because you are okay with it and not only because someone else says so. You have to find your own rhythm, anything else is bound to lead to failure over the long run.



Never push the pedal to the metal unless you have good brakes and know when to stop and get the hell away from that speedster at least for a certain period before jumping back in and slamming down on the accelerator. When in doubt the best option is to sit out.

@Sol:

The Dow, on a closing basis, has dropped from a high of 36,511 on November 8th to 34,022 today, representing an almost 2,500 point drop as well as an almost 7% drawdown.

For me personally, the 1st level of the Universal Trigger Strategy has been activated.

Seems like a good time to buy. I smiled when looking at the high and low of the Dow today. Almost exactly 1000 points. I suppose that counts as volatility.

[SOL]

9 out of times which is almost perfect when it comes to the markets, buying large dips when the primary trend is up is the way to go. We are moving to the volatility cycle faster than expected, which means that when this bull market ends (well before the next one begins) despite the markets soaring to unimaginable heights the vast majority of players will have lost more than they made.

Something out of the box, The more I examine AI from a 4th level and higher perspective, there is almost no scenario that I can see where AI will allow such rampant manipulation of the money supply to continue nor where it will allow such a small group of worthless humans to control so much.

My sense is that your Second Sight allows to see the ultimate outcome quite precisely, but does not allow you to see when a particular outcome will come to pass.

There will be a lot of the usual carnage and collateral damage before the human PTBs lose control.
