Understanding the Dow Jones index

Revising the DJIA, Dow Jones

On May 26th 1896 Charles Dow first introduced the industrial stock average we know today as the Dow Jones Industrial Average. This was a time when the stock market was not highly regarded and Investors were more likely to invest in bonds rather than stocks.

In today’s world we regard the stock market as a vehicle which when used with some guidance and self-education can provide us with a source of regular income.

The Bull Hunters Guide to the US Stock Market gives us an insight as to how the market works. When Sean Rasmussen authored this eBook he provided us with an understanding and a very useful tool to guide us through the jungle of what makes up the market and its day to day workings.

The 30 Stocks of the DJIA

We know that there are 30 stocks that make up the DJIA and then these 30 components are split into a further 5 groups: Industrials, Financials, Consumer cyclicals, Consumer non-cyclicals and Technology stocks.

After yesterday’s drop of almost 200 points, there had been speculation prior that the bullish rally would have a correction which was due to low trading volume and more volatility.

Trading Platforms

Those of you who are interested in learning more about how these stocks shape up and follow the US Stock Market I found this great website at stocktrak.com where you can sign up for an account for a nominal fee depending on if you have delayed prices which seem sufficient to practice with, or real prices.

Remember for those of you not in the US the market may be open in our sleep time.

StockTrak is the webs most comprehensive trading simulation tool and is used by 80% of the top business schools in the US every year to teach students how to trade on the stock market.

As individuals wanting to learn this instrument it is a very educational way to place trades and start practicing how to trade options – one of them being renting shares.

New look Bullhunter Blog

If you are a return visitor to the Bullhunter blog tell us what you think of the stylish new look. Does it work for you? Is it simple to follow and easy to find previous articles? Sean is busily working on the next installment to his first eBook and I know there are some of you eager for it to surface so that we can get stuck into the nitty gritty of real live trades. Keep charging Bullhunters until next post.

21st Century Academy goes to Perth WA

4 Day Education For Life Seminar

Hello Fellow Bullhunters

This week I am steering away from trading news to tell you about an exciting event. For those of you who are waiting on some trading platform news for trading the US Stock Market I am still revising them and will keep you updated.

21st Century Academy

If you are not yet familiar with Jamie McIntyre you can order his DVD What I Didnt Learn At School But Wish I Had here. This weekend at the Rendezvous Hotel in Perth there will be an amazing event taking place. 21st Century Academy and Jamie McIntyre are hosting the 4 Day Education For Life Seminar and this will be my second time attending such an event.

I am really excited and in fact I cannot sleep due to the entire buzz associated with attending. The first homestudy graduate that I met when I purchased my own Jamie McIntyre homestudy displayed such excitement himself that I couldn’t wait to receive mine and get through the program. Thanks Warren for that first meeting and for your kind words recently.

Day One with Jamie McIntyre

A brief rundown of the event. The first day Jamie McIntyre takes us through some very interesting processes which are life changing. It has everything to do with mindset and emotional intelligence. Those of you who are graduates will know what I am talking about. I can’t wait to ….. through the ….. Sorry for those of you who have not yet been through the 21st Century Academy Homestudy. This information is classified.

There are many barriers which hold us back, some more than others, in achieving all the things we want to achieve and by working through these on the first day it sets the rest of the weekend up to take in all the strategies which are presented by some great speakers who have a PhD in results.

You may like to view some videos which Sean took at the Blue Mountains seminar in March to get a taste of what we are to expect. Follow this link and enjoy.

Days two to four

Believe it or not this used to be a 3 day event but Jamie McIntyre wants to give us as much value as he can so he created an extra day. The speakers topics are mainly on Share and Property Strategies of course with something to suit everybody. The room is just buzzing after each speaker with graduates discussing which one they liked and will use.

Sean and I along with hundreds of other graduates will be joining together for this event and I will keep you posted with what we learn over the next four days so keep an eye on this blog.

Graduates attending the seminar are welcome to leave a comment to let us know what you get out of the event.

Short week on the Stock Market

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Trading News

Hello Fellow Bullhunters

This week in Australia and New Zealand we have commemorated the Anzacs and have honoured them by paying our respects for their bravery. For this reason we have had a short week which will be even shorter for me as I am heading off to Chris Howards NLP Breakthrough to Success seminar for the next three days.

I am writing this brief post and promise that I will deliver more for you next week.

Master the Market and form an Investment Club

For those of you who have downloaded Sean’s ebook The Bullhunters Guide to the US Stock Market you will remember on about page 19 or 20 - depending on how your computer counts the pages - Sean suggested that you form an Investment Club with about five friends and you each pick 5 or 6 stocks. This is a way for you to learn about the 30 stocks found in the Dow Jones (DJIA). If you have six players then each player will have five stocks. If you have five players then each will have six stocks.

In doing it this way you don’t have to do all the work yourself. I know there were a few interested parties when the book was first released and if you have followed through I was wondering if you can perhaps comment to let us know how it worked out.

For those who have recently come onboard and are interested in this would you set it up and come back and tell us about it. Make it so you put in a few dollars (or more) each and then you can award a prize to the winner of the game. The winner is the one whose stocks have risen the most as you can invest an imaginary $1000 on each stock.

It is interesting that in the past, I have always heard of groups of mainly women who get together and learn about the stock market and trading in this way.

Trading Platforms

I have been doing some research into trading platforms where you will be able to trial a free account just to get an idea of how to trade US stocks online. But more on that one next week.

For now let me know if any of you have formed an Investment Club and are willing to tell us about it. Every body learns from experience and that is what we are here to learn.
