Become A Better Investor – Staying Flexible and Profitable Using Signals – ADM Stock

Archer Daniels Midland is one of the largest food processing companies in the world. At the start of July the company announced the acquisition of WILD Flavors, a global market leader in natural flavoring ingredients. The acquisition may work well for Archer Daniels Midland.

Over most of the past two years I have done primarily stock trading with Archer Daniels Midland Stock but the recent acquisition has pushed up the volatility in the stock as investors speculate over whether the stock is overvalued, undervalued or fairly valued depending on the success of the merger. This volatility has created more opportunities for option trading as well as stock trades.

You can also see that selling volume continued to rise today. for the fourth day of selling in the stock. This has set Archer Daniels Midland Stock up for a number of trade opportunities but by using signals from the technical indicators I can stay flexible and profitable despite the decline. In fact the decline is welcomed as it provides even better put premiums and higher volatility.

Staying Flexible

Staying flexible in a trade is a key component to successive winning trades. In my opinion, adjusting trades when there is the possibility the trade may be in jeopardy and a profit can still be locked in is an important consideration to take.

Taking Losses Is Harmful

In every market taking losses is harmful to the overall portfolio. Locking in even a small profit continues to build a portfolio and preserves capital. It also means time, energy and capital does not have to be committed to try to recover losses, but instead can be used to generate additional income.
