Dear Reader,
Firstly a short note
to the recently new Toolbox Members:- This email is a monthly one with
some pointers and tips on focused topics. They often include references
to specific eBook Articles
in the Toolbox, as well as key web pages in the free area of the
Toolbox. I have been writing these eBook Articles since October 2008 -
that's now 3 whole years! You can see a quick summary about the eBook Articles here. This
month's eNews and eBook Article are very important so it is going to
Toolbox Members, and to the people who have registered to receive
occasional information about the Share Market. Any non-member who no
longer wants to receive this material can simply unsubscribe using the
SafeUnsubscribe link at the bottom - or just Update Your Profile to
change your interests. Over the next few months, the topics of focus in this monthly eNews email will include:
- More information on Money and Risk Management
(ie. how to minimise losses and maximise profits). - A definitive list of about 400 liquid and tradeable stocks as a follow-up to last month's focus on liquidity.
Please read on....

This month's focus:
Risk management and Position Size
The issue of risk
management is something that many investors and traders tend to overlook
- probably because they don't know enough about the topic.
Closely related to this topic is the issue of position size
for any individual investment in a parcel of shares. Many people simply
allocate a fixed dollar amount to each share parcel (eg. $4,000 worth).
This is probably not the most optimum parcel size, considering each
person's own situation regarding investment capital and risk tolerance.
This
months' focus is on exactly this issue. We touch on the so-called "2%
Rule" which allows most people to sleep at night with money in the
markets. And we describe how to determine the most optimum position
size, with reference to a Position Size Calculator spreadsheet which is
available for download from the Share Market Toolbox (for Premium
Toolbox Members).
See the details and links below for more information and downloads.

eBook (PDF) Articles - Summary
Over the last three years I have accumulated quite a collection of eBook (PDF) Articles
on three subject areas - Share Trading/Investing, Technical Analysis
and BullCharts software (actually more than 450 pages of material
in more than 100 articles). These Articles are invaluable for both new
and experienced investors and traders. I am now writing brief monthly
notes in this eNews email to highlight specific Articles on targeted
topics. I am also writing new Articles and updating existing ones as
required. For more information see: |

Article front pages
As of early January 2011 with the change in publishing approach for 2011, I significantly revised the Introduction Article and the Overview Article for each of the three subject areas. You can see them here:

Any problems?
What
if you have some sort of problem with accessing the Toolbox and any of
these Articles? Or maybe the Username and Password doesn't work. If
there is any problem at all, simply contact me by email or phone. The
best email address for this is: support@robertbrain.com.
Occasionally emails disappear - the system thinks they are spam, or the
ISP might think they are spam. If I don't reply within a day or so,
please contact me by other email address or phone. |

In Closing
There is nothing secret in this
email, so feel free to forward it to someone if you think they might
benefit from the information, or from being a Toolbox Member. The
easiest way to do this is to use the "Forward Email" link at the bottom.
I
am also confident that my Toolbox Members won't be sharing their
username and password with non-members. It is not fair that I spend all
this time preparing the materials, and then my Toolbox Members pay money
to have legitimate access, only to let some people pay nothing to read
and view the details.
Please feel free to email
an individual Article to others as a sample; but if they want online
access to all the materials, it is pretty cheap, so they should
subscribe as a Toolbox Member. There is information about Toolbox Membership in the Quick Links section at right.
Happy to receive feedback, or suggestions for new content or improvements.
Until next month,
happy investing or trading,
Robert B. Brain
(mobile: 0438 355 910)
ps: watch out for the sharks in the ocean!
