Wouldn’t it be great if you could improve your investment returns by owning securities when prices are increasing and selling them before they crash? If you learn how to read stock charts, you might have a chance to do so.
People take many different strategies for investing in stocks. I rely on a mix of investments in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and individual stocks. When I buy the last of these, I rely primarily on fundamental analysis, as discussed by Milan Kovacevic in his post, “How to Start Investing in 2021: A Complete Guide.”
Milan suggests investing for the long term, a strategy I generally embrace. To do this, I use the strategies set forth by Peter Lynch, described in my review of his book “One Up on Wall Street,” and my ability to read financial statements. Technical analysis or reading stock charts has always intrigued me.
If I could use stock charts to help me sell a stock before the price falls too much or at least not buy it until it has hit its low price, it seems to me that the value of my portfolio would be higher than my current strategy of buying stocks and holding them forever.

The average American household has $8,863 saved in a bank account or at a credit union, according to a 2018 Bankrate Study. However, according to another Bankrate study, $80 billion was spent on the lottery in one year in America! This came out to about $1,000 spent per year on the lotto for millennials, and a whopping $3,800 per year for older generations.
What’s worse is the same study found that households with the lowest income (earning $30,000 or less) spent 13% of their income buying lottery tickets. Saving and investing 13% of your income could set you up perfectly for retirement! Instead, it’s likely going down the drain (unless you get very, very lucky).
