Computer Software Identifies Stocks About to Rise by Marlie Parsons

In days gone by, investing money in the stock market and reaping a reward was a skill that some experts spent a lifetime honing. More recently, with the growth in the popularity of smaller investments such as penny stocks, small cap and even microcap stocks, day trading has become a potentially profitable hobby for almost anyone from high school students to grandmothers. As computer technology moves toward the potential of artificial intelligence, and as programmers turn their attention toward equity investments, it is becoming less necessary actually to know much of anything about the stock market in order to purchase stocks, sell them, and realize a return on one's investment.

One very dramatic case in point of the success in programming computers to analyze and select stocks that will, hopefully, increase in value is the so-called stock picking robot created by two computer programmers from Seattle, Washington. The young men were first contracted by one of the world's largest global investment banks to develop a computer model for trading stocks. This software is now responsible each year for more than four billion dollars in profits from stock market trades.

Using their computer skills, these gentlemen next focus their attention on the opposite pole of Wall Street. Instead of managing multi-billion dollar portfolios, they turned their attention towards managing as small a portfolio as a few hundred dollars, and running on a basic personal home computer. It was a wise decision, because there is a potential of much higher financial returns when one is trading pennystocks, highly volatile investments that can see a rise in value of as much as 400% in only a few minutes.

Looking at stocks being traded over the counter (OTC) and on Pink sheet stock exchanges, the program sought out companies whose trading patterns indicated that their value was about to rise up significantly. This tactic proved so successful that it now has a track record that is impressive even to hardened skeptics. It averages an increase of 105.28%, and this rise most often happens within three hours of the opening of the market.

The programmers' company now publishes a weekly newsletter that passes picks of hot stock tips from the computer to its subscribers. Of course, anyone who trades penny stocks on an ongoing basis knows that there is no such thing as a sure thing, and the newsletter publishers openly admit that their computer's choices will sometimes lead to losses instead of gains. Nevertheless, an average success rate of higher than 100% is a track record that cannot be sneezed at.

For a limited time, the penny stock newsletter publishers are offering a deal which looks too good to pass up. They say subscribers to their "Doubling Stocks" newsletter may take eight weeks to try it out for free. During that time period, the subscription may be canceled for a full refund, if the subscriber is not satisfied with the quality of the penny stock information it delivers.
