We replied “Yes – it is open to all traders and investors”.

Dear fellow trader/investor,

In January 2008 (i.e. Before the GFC) and again in July 2011, Jim Berg closed his Newsletter’s notional Portfolio and ‘switched to cash’ - to show his Members how to protect capital AHEAD of falling markets.

Those Members who followed Jim’s lead protected themselves from not losing millions of dollars between them.

In today's Free Wrap stock trading report, we revisit all the notional trades, one-by-one, since Jim Berg re-opened our Newsletter’s notional portfolio in September 2012.

The results show a consistently healthy performance, with an overall
78.9% success rate.

JDL Strategies' ‘Financial Wealth Check’ combines decades of finance industry experience and employs proprietary software to analyse and present individuals’ results in a uniquely powerful manner.

It only takes 5 minutes and the results will show you if you are on track to financial freedom.

1) How to Protect Your Trading Capital?

Experienced traders and investors agree that Money and Risk Management are vital for long term survival and profitability in the market.

In your Free Wrap today, Joseph Barrington-Lew, creator of the ’JBL Risk Manager’, shows how.

Today we thank John Cottle for sending us his story this week:

Hi John,

I have been a Newsletter Member for quite a few years, and thank you all (and a number of others) for your help in educating me regarding successful trading.

Our mentoring-style ‘Investing and Online Trading’ Newsletter teaches Jim Berg’s common sense approach, developed over 30 years of trading and investing, 18 years of which were as a professional broker.

While we show examples of stocks in USA and Australia, Jim’s principles may also be quickly adapted for use in many other markets around the world.

Trading emotions play a vital role in the success or failure of traders.

Emotions affect our results and will prove the difference between successful and unsuccessful trading.

Joseph Barrington-Lew is the creator of the popular JBL Risk Manager

In today's Free Wrap 'Trading Emotions', Joseph shares the trading emotions experienced by what he calls 'average traders' and offers his solution.

We are sometimes asked if Jim Berg’s Trading Plan, as taught in our mentoring style ‘Investing and Online Trading’ stock market Newsletter, can be used for trading leveraged instruments, such as options, warrants and CFDs.

In this week's Free Wrap, Portfolio Manager James Gerrish writes:

" 2013 is shaping up as another pivotal year for markets following a 'tiresome' 2012 that saw some extreme volatility mid-year, culminate in a positive Q4 performance. All in all, the ASX 200 added +14.5% - a result that probably sugar coated some of the complexities that investors had to deal with throughout the year.

Many investors have been struggling for now over 5 years, while they wait for their nest eggs to slowly build back to where they were before the GFC.

Take heed that at the start of each year, many so-called ‘experts’ commonly pull out their crystal balls and make their predictions on what will happen to the market in the coming year, while some list their ‘hot stock tips’ for the year ahead.

In November, we farewelled Zig Ziglar, motivational speaker and author of nearly 30 books, who was a great inspiration to many individuals around the world.

Today, we continue with some more of Zig’s most famous quotes – this week on ‘Self Image’:

• Some people find fault like there is a reward for it.

• Far too many people have no idea of what they can do because all they have been told is what they can'...

This week, many people around the world made New Year Resolutions ….. sadly most will have forgotten all about them within a month.

In contrast, there are a few others who take time out at this time of year to ‘sharpen their axe’ and seriously review their past achievements, to reset their goals and to create a plan to achieve their goals in the year ahead.

Now is the perfect time to set your goals for 2013 and beyond.

Each week, in our mentoring-style ‘Investing and Online Trading’ stock market Newsletter we feature our ‘Short Term Notional Trading Portfolio’, in which Jim Berg provides a ‘live’ portfolio - to demonstrate (in real time) how he uses his common sense approach and JB Volatility Indicators to decide:

• WHICH stocks/shares to buy
• WHEN to buy and

In Today's Free Wrap for Traders and Investors, we feature this report with our thanks to James Gerrish, Portfolio Manager at Novus Capital Ltd in Sydney which he wrote at 'MyMarketView' on Thursday 6 December:

At the close yesterday, the S&P/ASX 200 was up by +16pts or +0.37% to 4520. I continue to think this market has further to go, and the interest rate environment is now very supportive of equity prices, particularly high yield names.

This week we farewell Zig Ziglar, author of nearly 30 books and motivational speaker, who died on Wednesday 28 November, aged 86.

In the corporate world, “The Ziglar Way” segmented career paths and intertwined them with personal lives, a method which improved the way one lives. As Ziglar put it, “Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.”

In this week's FREE Wrap, Jim Berg, author of 'Shares to Buy and When' and his mentoring-style 'Investing & Online Trading' stock market newsletter, writes:

Last Friday, the 20th April, was a very significant day that we’ve all been waiting for. First, as background:

In December 2007, Jim Berg warned Members of our ‘Investing & Online Trading’ mentoring style Newsletter of the potential for a Bear Market or crash and closed the Newsletter’s Portfolio 2 weeks later in January 2008, i.e. BEFORE the GFC.

A message from Jim Berg:

"For many years we have been on the search for someone who shares our mindset and values regarding customer service. I am happy to say that we have finally found the perfect partner in Julio De Laffitte, CEO & Founder of JDL Strategies.

Established for over 16 years, his motto of "one client at a time and each client for life" really resonated with us.

In our mentoring-style ‘Investing & Online Trading’ Newsletter, we currently include those ASX shares and USA stocks which have recently given ‘JB Alert Signals’, according to Jim Berg’s documented and tested Trading Rules.

In addition, in this week's Edition 349, we have also introduced 2 new sections to show Jim’s analysis of:

Today's Weekly Wrap features our responses to a series of FAQs received recently from Members on:

The trading strategies covered in our resources at this website and at Jim’s 1 Day JB Volatility Workshops are educational. There are hundreds of different ways to successfully trade the markets. Jim believes every trader/investor who follows his methods has changed the system to suit their own time frame, personality and trading philosophy.

In our mentoring-style 'Investing & Online Trading' Newsletter, Jim provides a tutorial each week for you to complete, with the results of his own analysis the following week.

In ‘Step 1: How to filter watch lists’ - we show how to determine which shares - as recommended by ‘experts’ - pass Jim’s rules.

In Part 1 last week, we showed that the place to invest in 2011 was not for dividends in the big four banks.
{If you missed Part 1, you can download it from our Blog. }

Discussing other options with dividend and long-term investors is often difficult as they usually have been doing it for a long time and it is challenging for them to change.

Several brokers have commented recently on some great dividend paying companies. One stated that the banks were such great companies to hold over 2011 as “where else could an investor get such a great return?”

1. Baby Boomers Nervous

Today, with recent advances in medical technology, your retirement could very well be a full one-third of your life, i.e. 30+ years.

Attention all new (and not so new) traders and investors wanting to protect their hard earned capital and profits:

Announcing this special Offer to save 46% off RRP for this complete package:

DVD #1: 'Introduction to Trading & Investing' in the stock market

DVD #2: 'Introduction to Money & Risk Management' in the stock market

No trader can expect all of their trades will be consistently profitable, so losses will inevitably occur at some stage. The key is to have more profits than losses and for the size of losses to be kept low, compared with the size of profitable trades.

That’s why, before buying a stock, it is important to know where you will exit the trade if it does not perform the way you expect.

Today we announce the launch of our 2 new DVDs:

i) Introduction to Trading and Investing – for all beginners wanting to get started safely and wisely in the stock or share markets of the world.

ii) Money and Risk Management – for all beginner and experienced traders & investors who have yet to implement Money and Risk Management into their portfolios.

Jim Berg, author of ‘Shares to Buy and When’ trades his own capital and manages his SMSF retirement account from home in Melbourne.

Jim combines both fundamental and technical analysis; using his world famous JB Volatility Indicators and his common sense ‘Weight-of-Evidence’ approach.

Are you totally confident on how to trade and invest in the market – or maybe you could you use some help – from a trader with 30 years of experience?

This month we announced Jim will present a one day ‘hands-on’ JB Volatility Workshop in Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast – to make it easier for traders and investors to learn all the details of his trading rules – at locations closer to home for some.

The chart screenshots featuring Jim Berg’s JB Volatility Indicators in our weekly ‘Investing & Online Trading’ newsletter are produced using JB Premium Charts, which Jim and many other traders have used for several years.

Until now, this low cost JB Premium Charts package comprised the charting program with ASX data and ASX history.

How often have you looked at a chart and tried to determine whether or not the market is really trending? How many times have you been fooled by your Stochastics or RSI indicators?

The past year has been a very difficult year for most traders - as the market spent much of the year in a sideways crabbing pattern, with short periods of increased volatility, before turning down strongly in recent months.

On Tuesday 9 August 2011, markets tumbled around the world, following a drop of about 5.6% on the DOW in its previous trading session in the USA. (refer to our coverage in Edition 317).

Now you can save on Jim Berg’s 2011 book ‘Shares to Buy & When’:

Jim is not currently planning to release a follow up for 2012. However, he says:

Yesterday we received an email from a new visitor to our website, asking;

“XXX says sell - what should I do ?”

We replied that we do not offer specific, i.e. personal advice. Each individual must make his/her own Financial decisions and be responsible and accountable for such decisions, based on what they learn and thoroughly back-test and from what they may be advised by their own financial advisor, accountant etc.

A passion for the systematic approach to the markets and lifelong love of teaching and learning have propelled D.R. Barton, Jr. to the top of the investment and trading arena. He is a regularly featured guest on both Report on Business TV, and WTOP News Radio in Washington, D.C, and has been a guest on Bloomberg Radio.

Two of the biggest problems most traders and investors face is knowing WHICH stocks to buy and WHEN to buy & sell. They either:

⇒ Buy too late - just before prices fall, or

⇒ Sell too soon – leaving substantial profits 'on the table', or

In late December 2007 Jim Berg presented to his Newsletter Members, his analysis of exit signals prior to the bear markets and crashes over the previous 20 years .

Two weeks later, in early January 2008 Jim Berg closed his newsletter portfolio -- ahead of the Global Financial Crisis. Jim re-opened it in June 2009. Those Members who followed Jim’s lead and switched to cash saved themselves from not losing millions of dollars between them as a result.
