We've all heard the old adage: knowledge is power.

It's a great saying because it's true.

And that saying couldn't be truer than when it comes to investing.

Take a look at your last big loser. After analyzing what went wrong, you probably discovered some piece of information that – 'had you known that, you never would have gotten into it in the first place'.

I'm not talking about things that are unknowable, like inside information or surprise announcements that can catch even the most professional of professionals off guard.

I'm talking about things that you could have known about or SHOULD have known about before you got in.

Did You Know?...

Did you know that roughly half of a stock's price movement can be attributed to the group that it's in? Did you also know that often times a mediocre stock in a top performing group will outperform ...

There are lots of different trading styles out there: Momentum, Aggressive Growth, Value, Growth & Income, Dart Throwing, and more.

(Ok, Dart Throwing isn't an 'official' style per se', but I'm sure there are a lot of people who would fit into that category if there was.)

But the above styles are just a few of the many different styles that people fit into. This also includes the 'All-Style Style', which is really just a combination of some or even all of the different styles put together.

Some of these are more conservative while others are more aggressive.

But which one works best?

Let's take a look at some.

Momentum Style

Momentum traders look to take advantage of upward trends (or downward trends) in a stock's price or earnings. They believe that these stocks will continue to head in the same direction because of the momentum that is already behind them.

And there's a lot of

When you ask most investors for their favorite stocks, you'll rarely hear them share a blue-chip name like Johnson & Johnson, Kraft Foods or Wal-Mart. Instead they will tell you about some amazing growth stock that will be the next Google, Microsoft or Apple. These investors believe that by simply buying stocks with the greatest earnings growth potential they will make money. Sadly, our research clearly shows this not to be true...not even close. In this article, I will dispel the myth about investing in growth stocks and shine the light on a path that has more consistently paved the way to profits. Research Says... I know that many of your are still shaking your heads in disbelief. Certainly I must be joking, right? Unfortunately, our research details beyond a shadow of a doubt the vast underperformance of growth stocks over the past ...

It is amazing how many things have NOT happened.

Probably most incredible is that the dollar has NOT collapsed. It has lost ground, and was trading at $1.43 per euro on Friday, but no one laughs at you when go to exchange dollars…or offer to pay in dollars rather than the local currency.

For the last 10 years, the money supply in the United States has expanded at roughly twice the rate of GDP growth. And the Fed doubled its balance sheet in just the last 18 months. This last bit of information is stunning. It took the central bank nearly 100 years to build a balance sheet of $1 trillion. Then, under the leadership of Ben Bernanke, it added another $1 trillion in just a few months.

What does that mean, exactly? It means they bought a lot of debt from US agencies and the financial sector. It means also that they
