Gorilla Trades' visual overview of eligible stock picks
The menu of ideas is a convenient organization of the various stocks
that could be considered at any time for purchase under the GorillaTrades
system. The Menu of Ideas is located both in the Evening Gorilla Email
and in the GorillaTrades.com subscribers site.
Each category of the Menu of Ideas (MOI) has its own benefits. Simply
click each category head for a recap. With understanding, these various
stocks can be tailored to the market environment, your personal trading
style, or modified to fit the specific needs of your portfolio.
Note that daily updates to the MOI will be made in bold type - so if
a stock was just listed in a new category, it will be added to the top
of that category in bold. The following day, it will still remain in the
list, but will no longer be bold.
In addition, you can simply click on any stock symbol to go to their
individual stock page, where you'll find their original recommended trading
parameters, trading tips, and a company overview.
The categories are potential picks, recently triggered, recently confirmed,
light volume pullbacks, and special situation picks.
GorillaShorts will be shown in orange type to differentiate them from
GorillaPicks, but will otherwise be presented in the same way as GorillaPicks.
The first three categories concern the sensitive beginning stages of
a GorillaPick. While New Potential GorillaPicks are usually presented
on a daily basis, keep in mind that these stock picks aren't fully recommended
to all subscribers until they achieve two stages of validation - the trigger
point and Confirmation Day.
Potential Picks
This category contains the GorillaPicks that have been issued within the
past 5 sessions that have not yet triggered. A GorillaPick has five days
in order to trigger or it is dropped according to the rules of the GorillaTrades
System. This category in the Menu of Ideas is primarily used to keep a
loose monitor on the GorillaPicks in their infancy stage. Some very aggressive
subscribers, however, might immediately invest in a Potential GorillaPick
to get a jump start should the stock go on to trigger and confirm.
Recently
Triggered
Purchasing at the Trigger Point, as opposed to waiting for the Confirmation
Day, allows for an earlier point of entry, and thus the potential for more
profit. However, this also leaves you vulnerable to owning a GorillaPick
that simply triggers and quickly retreats.
Recently
Confirmed
Confirmation serves to fortify the desired direction of a GorillaPick. After
a GorillaPick confirms, it is fully recommended for purchase. It should
be noted that Confirmation Day is an event, not a price, so the specifics
of where you enter the trade after Confirmation Day are at your own discretion.
There’s no rule that you must purchase immediately after a Confirmation
Day is declared. For this reason, Recently Confirmed stocks remain in this
category for some time.
Light
Volume Pullbacks (LVPB's)
This category involves GorillaPicks that have already confirmed, but have
recently experienced a small pullback on light volume. The Light Volume
Pullback category identifies current GorillaPicks that are still technically
strong, but have experienced a pullback on light volume, a typical sign
that that the pullback may not be of the severe variety. These points make
suitable investment, or reinvestment points, for entry and possible continued
growth.
Special
Situation Picks (SSP's)
While all of the previous categories deal with GorillaPicks and GorillaShorts,
Special Situation Picks are meant as a bonus to the GorillaTrades System.
Special Situations Picks tend to be very explosive, but often have high
volatility due to their low market capitalization. These stocks always have
a market cap. below $1 billion, as opposed to GorillaPicks, which always
have a market cap above $1 billion. Accordingly, only more aggressive subscribers
should consider these stocks for purchase. Unlike GorillaPicks, these stocks
are meant to have longer-term holding periods (several months in most cases),
and trading guidelines are not provided as they are with GorillaPicks. |
