Too often, novice investors mistakenly assume that they can time the market. That they know something the rest of the world doesn't. If they happen to make a few profitable investments right off the bat, it just serves to reinforce this false belief.
Even experienced investors fall into this trap. The fact is that nobody can consistently time the stock market.

In addition, nearly all investors use their emotions to do their investing for them. Some more than others, but almost everyone is guilty.
And almost everyone loses money because of it -- whether by realizing actual losses or by forgoing profits that could have been theirs.
Smartstock helps you avoid these mistakes...

Reduce Risk In these times of high volatility and market uncertainty, Smartstock is a welcome strategy for managing risk. When initially starting the portfolio, the investor will only commit a portion of the original portfolio to the equity at the outset. Right away, this mitigates risk by not plunging into a stock with both feet. The remaining portion of the portfolio will serve as a cash reserve to fund additional purchases should the price decline. The interest generated by the cash reserve of the portfolio usually more than covers the commissions on trades. Since the software tends to buy shares at a slightly faster rate that it sells, you are deploying "strategically" your cash into the investment over time and are assured a lower cost per share than buying lump-sum at the beginning.

Save Time Using the software to manage stocks requires less than an hour a week leaving you free for other things. One of the best ways to utilize the software is to pick a certain time each week to update your stock prices, say Thursday evening after the close. Plug in your prices and see if any trade advice is given. You can then place orders to be executed the next day. Each time you sit down to update you prices, you can use any broker statements to update your software. Of course you can always monitor your investments daily if you choose.
