November eBook Articles Update #36 - Nov 2011
Dear Reader,   
  
Firstly a short note to the recently new Toolbox Members:- this is a monthly email 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 email 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: 

  • A definitive list of about 400 liquid and tradeable stocks as a follow-up to a recent focus on liquidity

Please read on....  

This month's focus:
Risk and Money Management    
  
We recently had a brief look at the topic of risk management, and in particular the usefulness of optimising position size using a Position Size Calculator. You can see that material in the archive - Oct 2011.
 
This months' focus is very closely related; but contains both a higher level overview and introduction to the topic, as well as some specific detail about "The 2% Rule" for percent-risk position sizing. See the details and links below for more information and the downloads.

Risk management eBook Articles

This month I have written two new eBook (PDF) Articles to complement some existing ones on the topic of risk management:
 
  • ST-4000 "Risk Management" - This new 4-page Article is an introduction to the topic of Risk and Money Management. It explains some of the adverse outcomes that can easily occur, and some of the steps we can take to address the risks. It is free to everyone.
  • ST-4100 "The 2 Percent Rule" - This new 4-page Article provides some more details about the "2 Percent Rule" model to help with determining optimum position size. It is referred to in the Position Size Calculator spreadsheet that we looked at in last month's monthly eNews email.
    The free page 1 version for non-members is here. 

  

There are now a total of 109 Articles in this collection of eBook Articles - a total of 465 pages of information!
You can see the Master List of all Articles here (recently new or updated ones are highlighted), and the Detailed Topic Index here.
Don't forget to see the updated Table of Contents pages for the Share Trading articles (see links in the side-bar at right).  

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.

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,
