About the LOTM Newsletter
K. Andrew
I feel the list below is very helpful and weekly action indicators are very helpful. I also really like your best under 5 list the other day. Anything that weekly or consistently talks about the same stocks and how they are doing is so great. Presently in regards to stocks you talk about I have good size holdings in CLMT, MKTY, TURN, GORO. I have smaller around $2k in BWA, GPL, KB, VUZI, SMSI and EMAN. I just sold AG for a good profit as well. I really appreciate these emails and all the wonderful advice you give us.
Colleen in Seattle, WA:
I don’t like to overly invest in anything, because I’ve been stung big time in the past. I use to get pretty worked up over my investments, but feel comfortable doing it this way along with your newsletter.
I’ve gained at least 25% and without a lot of anxiety. My approach is simple, I use $3,000 as my unit cost and if I use it as a trade, I put a T by it. When it goes up 30% and the technicals look like there lagging, especially volume decreasing, I sell. I do that about 5 times a month, so I’m really not trading a lot.
Thanks for helping me have a good year. I feel I really have started on my way to MAKING A LIVING IN THE STOCK MARKET.
Anita in Sacramento, CA:
Words can not describe how good this email is… it covers everything from strategy to emotions and you let us draw our own conclusions for what is right for the each of us. Very powerful and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Two years ago I took Tom’s course on investing through the Learning Exchange more to see his process of presentation than for his ideas, since I was developing my trading coach ideas and was curious about what he was doing. What I found was an interesting approach to investing in small cap and micro stocks. Tom is not a day-trader, anything but. He looks for small caps with low institutional ownership and strong balance sheets in niche industries that are bound to be discovered. “Being discovered” by the institutions is what drives their stock prices through the roof. So you buy and wait since most have strong cash flows and positive earnings or are embarking on new technologies.
It’s through Tom’s research that I invested in VDSI, MKTY, ESLR, DESC, QTWW, AUDC, IMGC, ENTU among others. All have been huge winners; check any stock charting website and put in one of the symbols to see what they’ve done in the last 18 months! Yes, there are a couple of losers (there always are) but by and large his research has been pretty good with themes of alternative energy, internet security, payment security, etc.
His newsletter is well worth it, I’ve made the cost back many times over with the ideas. I still make many of my own decisions aside from what Tom recommends and do fine with them but you all know I’m in the market every day picking my spots and trading based on technical formations. Having another system has always been one of my main recommendations and LOTM is one of mine.
Margie in Chestnut Hills, MA:
I was about to send a note to thank you for an always informative and stimulating call yesterday and there you were with that email. The concept of the Grail and 5 stages of trading success really put things in perspective and it was so interesting that I’ve printed it out to work with it some more.
On LOTM Seminars and Courses
Joy in Seattle, WA:
The “portfolio” we selected after our first class with you (early 2002?) has doubled even in the face of the crummy economy. I’m flabbergasted!
Debra G. Leopold, President, First Class, Inc., in Washington D.C.:
I want to take the time to thank you for the splendid job you’ve done as a member of the First Class, Inc. faculty. The high caliber of your presentations forms the cornerstone of First Class, Inc.’s reputation. We always look forward to your arrival in Washington as your enthusiasm and ease with people are contagious.
You are the consummate professional and approach each seminar with polish and care. Both of your investment seminars received some of the highest evaluation scores in First Class, Inc.’s history. It’s hard to imagine that anyone would not leave your seminars motivated and willing to employ your valuable advice. Plus, I must add that students in Washington are quite demanding and the high evaluation scores are given only to the ‘best of the best’.
Please feel free to give my name and number to anyone in need of additional glowing remarks! Looking forward to your return this Fall.
R.L. in Boston, MA:
It was great to see you in Boston this past Saturday. You are correct, it is a good thing to keep going to the seminars because you really do “hear” things differently the second time. They make more sense and I always seem to pick up a new idea or strategy.
I wanted to fill you in on how my doubles worked. I applied my own twist to the game. I had never owned a share of stock before I went to your previous seminar in Boston but you gave me the courage to jump into the game. Your newsletter is part of my “network” because each day I know I will be hearing from someone that is doing the same thing that I am doing. Without the newsletter, I think it would be too isolated for me to continue.
Anyway, what I did was on 10/1/02 I bought $5000 worth of Elan (a company that I had been following on my own) at $1.05 and sold it on 11/1/02 at $2.06. On 10/11/02 I bought Nano (from your newsletter). $10,000 at $2.34 and sold it on 1/9/03 at $5.65. I also bought more Elan (milking the cow) $20,000 on 11/19/02 at $2.11 and sold it on 1/31/03 at $4.58.
I am obviously using my own rules for the game by infusing extra cash into the system (I am not very patient… yet), but I can not wait to see what happens when the market ”takes off”.
Anyway, I just thought you might be interested in my story. I continue to look forward to my “daily fix” from LOTM.
Andrea Driessen, Deputy Director, Open U in Minneapolis, Minnesota:
CONGRATULATIONS on the continued success of your ‘How to Make Your Living from the Stock Market’ class! Your evaluations are stunning. We appreciate all the work you do, and so do your students.
I hope you had as much fun teaching as the students seemed to have had learning. Keep up the great work. Thank you for all you do.
Ted in Sacramento, CA:
Thank you for your class! I believe I benefited from it. In the last 5 years I have invested with O’Neill’s IBD, without much success. I’m glad you told us about Value Line. I subscribed to them for almost 20 years without knowing how to use it.

Tom,
Such a great ten under ten! Don’t want the moment to pass without acknowledgement of how good this portfolio is. Easy for an outsider to take it for granted but for those of us who wonder sometimes if we are just doing a rain dance, it is a tangible statement to the virtue of persistence in a moment of convergence. Well done! (and keep dancing)
