"5 classic buying strategies worth practicing, besides Livermore's pyramid: 1. CAN SLIM Buying Method: Only buy strong growth stocks with accelerating earnings and technical breakout patterns. - Quarterly EPS YoY growth of at least +25%, ideally accelerating for several quarters - Annual earnings compound growth ≥25% over the past 3 years - New products/new business/stock price hitting new highs - After forming consolidation patterns like cup-and-handle or flat base, buy on volume breakout at key points - Stop loss unconditionally if price drops 7% below buying price 2. Turtle Buying Method: Ride big trends by buying when prices break historical ranges. - Buy when price breaks past the highest price of the last 20 days or 55 days - Position sizing: Account risk of 1% ÷ (ATR × value per point) - Add to position every 0.5 ATR increase, up to 4-5 units max - Set stop loss 2 ATR below entry price - Exit if price breaks below the 10-day/20-day low 3. Graham/Buffett Value Investing Method: Buy good companies temporarily undervalued and use time to unlock value. - Choose companies with strong moats, long-term ROE >15%, and manageable debt - Calculate intrinsic value (discounted free cash flow or reasonable P/E ratio) - Buy in batches only when stock price is 30% below intrinsic value - No short-term stop loss; sell only if fundamentals deteriorate 4. DCA Buying Method: Dollar-cost averaging to smooth out costs and completely abandon timing the market. - Invest a fixed amount on a fixed date every month (best on payday) - Buy broad-based indices or quality leaders - Don’t reduce or interrupt during bear markets - Hold for at least 3-5 years before reassessing 5. Pullback Buying Method: As long as the trend structure remains intact, dips are buying opportunities. - First confirm the overall trend is upward (price above 20/60-day moving averages, higher highs and higher lows) - Buy on pullbacks to key support levels (20-day moving average, previous lows, Fibonacci retracement levels) - Wait for reversal signals (long lower shadow, engulfing candle, volume breakout bullish candle) before entering - Stop loss immediately if price breaks below previous low or trendline" #InvestingTips #TradingStrategies #StockMarket
