This book turns that phrase on its head by presenting the position trader's mantra: "a long-term investment is a short-term trade gone well." Learn how to pick the right stocks at the right time; but not until you have mastered the essential arts of: * diversifying to spread your risk. * cutting losses and securing profits with stop orders. * not risking too much money thanks to effective position sizing. * pyramiding funds into your winning positions. * leveraging your investments for greater gains. In a nutshell, learn how to: BUY like a Trader and HOLD like an Investor. Find out if a position trader could make a market-beating 55% return in just over three months and a spectacular 3000% return in as little as six months. Website at www.lotontech.com/positiontrading
