Our Team Investment Strategies“Money makes money.”Ben Franklin, 1748 1.Know your companies’ key statistics. 2. Stock must be above the 200 day moving average. 3.Company must be superior to competitors. 4.Compare “apples to apples, not apples to grapes.” (Same industry) 5.Fully invest all your money in a stock (all $30,000). 6.Invest at least 20% in technology or Biotech stocks. 7.Look at “beaten down” stocks from rumors.
