Brainy's Share Market
Investment Strategies Workshops

Overview

Brainy's Share Market Investment Strategies Workshops is a series of three separate 2-hour workshops on Saturday mornings, focussing on specific investment and trading strategies.

This series of workshops is to help share market investors and traders to understand more about different strategies for selecting shares for investment. 

The stock selection criteria is primarily based on technical analysis (price charting) as opposed to fundamental analysis. This approach is often used in conjunction with fundamental analysis to optimally time the investment decision. 

The focus is on some case study examples based on published strategies which can be found in well-known and popular text books. The price charting analysis is best done with quality charting software. These workshops utilise the Australian BullCharts software.

These sessions do include hands-on use of BullCharts, and you don't need any prior knowledge or experience. 

The three sessions look at specific "Author Strategies" in BullCharts, and how these strategies are used to do stock selection (scans), and the technical chart indicators that are used (like Moving Average). It includes some clever and specific applications not covered anywhere else.

The Author Strategies studied here include: Stan Weinstein, Alan Hull, Daryl Guppy and Leon Wilson. Their strategies are included in published text books that are available for purchase in Australia.

Investment Strategies Workshop #1 - Stan Weinstein

When you study the share price chart for any given company (or a market index), you can see that all stocks are in one of four "Stages":- consolidating in a base, rising, topping, or declining.

A key feature of this strategy workshop will be the study of Stan Weinstein's Stage Analysis, and his use of both the 30-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Stage Analysis to determine the current Stage for a stock, and for stock selection.

This is a workshop to help you develop your own investing strategy by understanding some of the teachings of Stan Weinstein, and in particular one of the supplied “Author Strategies” in the BullCharts software package. Stan's teachings are documented in his text book “Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets”, and focus on minimal time commitment on a weekly basis, and utilising Weekly share price charts.


Investment Strategies Workshop #2 - Alan Hull's ActVest

Alan Hull is based in Melbourne and has written several popular books on investing and trading. The key features of this strategy workshop will be the study of Alan's ActVest Range indicator, including the study of the price chart to see how a stock falls into one of four Zones giving sell, hold/profit-take, buy or avoid signals. Also, Alan's concept of ROAR (Rate of Annual Return).
