I’ve been trying to do some research on the changes in commodities outlook for the rest of 2007, due to the booming demand for ethanol and other biofuels.  My main concern is what sectors will really be effected by the changes in farmers’ output (in terms of field usage) and whether or not imports will be able to fill in any gaps to help mitigate decreases in supply.The one concern that I have noticed coming at the end of last week is the possible tensions for both cotton as a raw materia...

About

fivepercentstocks

About Me I am not a stock expert or professional. I like playing the stock market for the excitement and challenge. I am by no means a "qualified expert" (whatever that means)at stock technical analysis or momentum trading. However, I am a relentless internet-surfer who has learned how to harness all of the resources online into strong returns on my investment. By doing so, I basically allow others to do the work for me (all free resources) and putting those pieces together into a formula that finds the right stocks. My impressive success over the past 3 years has led me to write this blog. My postings represent my actual positions (when I BUY I actually buy, etc etc). In my investing I have had the most success choosing momentum stocks that I see increasing 5 percent within 30 days. I have a simple buy-sell strategy: purchase at the beginning of an upswing and sell after 5% gain (no exceptions) or after 30 days, or after a predetermined stop loss. I will post all investments in terms of percentages, never in dollars. I will keep you updated on a month to month basis on the total Five Percent Stocks return, as I immediately reinvest earnings from sales. I am happy to hear your comments.
