Initial public offering, or IPO... This is the term that gets traders all excited. And there is a specific reason for this excitement – money!

I often come across great stocks that are rising – and have been rising for a while. The real challenge is to know when to buy into one of these stocks.

Trade ideas can come from anywhere.

Fundamentals...That’s a big word for most stock analysts. It can encompass thousands of pages of numbers and data that Wall Street junior analysts pour over and which few to no retail traders ever take a minute to read or even consider when making a trade call.
