Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers!)

Each week we receive dozens of astute inquiries from subscribers.

Many questions concern our proprietary Stock Sonar and S.T.A.R.S trading systems…others seek clarification on our portfolio positions…and some ask about our exit strategies.

To share my best guidance with all subscribers, I’ve put together a “round-up” of frequently asked questions below.

With each one, you’ll find a detailed response from me.

I strongly encourage you to review this “Q&A” when you have the chance. I think you’ll find it to be extremely useful.

Your Questions… Answered!

I’ve just joined Tactical Trader Alert… where should I begin with my subscription?

You’ve made a great decision. To ensure that you get off on the right foot, I recommend that you begin by viewing my two-part video welcome series.

Together, these short videos (part one and part two) boil down all of the essential information into an easy-to-follow beginner’s primer.

In the first video, you’ll learn more about me and the details of our Tactical Trader Alert investment approach. Plus, I’ll also give you a rare glimpse into the powerful technology behind my proprietary Stock Sonar and S.T.A.R.S. trading systems.

In my second video, I cover the “nuts and bolts” of your subscription. You’ll learn what to expect from me in our trade alerts and portfolio updates, as well as how to access your subscription materials at any time on The Oxford Club website.

Next, I recommend that new subscribers review our two flagship investment reports:

• “Marc Lichtenfeld’s Stock Sonar: Provisional Patent #62507516”
• “Stock Sonar’s Next 3 Targets: Lock On to Quadruple-Digit Gains.”

These write-ups offer the most comprehensive overview of my patent-pending Stock Sonar system and the investment opportunities “pinging” me right now.

I also recommend that you review our portfolio and consider the current buy recommendations. (Below, you’ll find a screenshot of our portfolio link for reference.)

These are trades you can get into today, while you patiently await my next alert.

Finally, if you’re interested in reading my previous alerts, be sure to check out the “Issue Archives” area of our Tactical Trader Alert webpage. It looks like this:

Where does Tactical Trader Alert fit within The Oxford Club Wealth Pyramid?

For those of you who are new to the Club, you may be wondering what the “Wealth Pyramid” is. In short, it’s the Club’s asset allocation model. It looks like this:

The Pyramid is designed to help you strategically organize and diversify your portfolio so that you’re never relying on a single investment strategy.

(If you’re not familiar with it, you should read up on it here.)

Tactical Trader Alert falls within the “Targeted Trading” section of the Pyramid. This area of the model is aimed at helping you take advantage of what we call “unique market circumstances.”

These are scenarios where big gains can be made… but they’re generally reserved for more sophisticated investors and traders. In Tactical Trader Alert, we use my proprietary Stock Sonar and S.T.A.R.S. trading systems to identify and exploit these types of opportunities.

The Targeted Trading section of the Pyramid is further divided into three subsections (ultra-short term, short term and long term).

Our service falls within the “short term” category, given the relatively short to medium hold time we’ll observe for most of our trades.

Does Tactical Trader Alert focus primarily on stock or options trading?

This service includes both stock and options recommendations.

Our primary focus is finding lucrative stock trades. But, in some cases, I will also issue an accompanying call option recommendation for subscribers who wish to take a more speculative position.

Executing the stock or option trade will be your choice.

In order to make the best decision for your portfolio, it’s critical that you think about your personal risk-reward threshold.

I will track the stock trades in our Tactical Trader Alert portfolio. You won’t see the options listed there, but I’ll alert you when it’s time to exit an options position.

As long as you have a brokerage account and adequate trading capital, you’ll be in a perfect position to take advantage of my stock recommendations. For the call options, if you don’t have it already, you’ll want to ask your broker for “level one” approval.

Getting approved is a quick and painless process. With most discount brokers, all that’s required is a simple one-page form.

How long will we typically hold our positions in Tactical Trader Alert?

Our hold times will vary, but most trades will be short-term positions. We’ll exit some in a matter of days, others in six months.

Our average holding time will be roughly 120 days.

The duration of each trade will depend on how the stock performs. We’ll let our winners run (and avoid taking profits too soon), but we’ll also honor our stops so that losers don’t become large.

Why is there a difference between the recommendation price referenced in Marc’s alerts and the entry price listed in the portfolio?

Each time I send out an alert containing a new recommendation, I will provide a limit price and instructions for entering the position. For example, I might say this:

“Buy XYZ for $5.20 or lower. If the stock is above $5.20, don’t chase it. Either wait for it to come back down or wait for the next recommendation. Place a stop 25% below your entry price.”

The price you’ll see listed in our Tactical Trader Alert portfolio may differ from the price contained in my alert, because I’ve instructed my research team to record the actual price that most of our subscribers would have been able to get filled.

For purposes of the example above, our online portfolio might show this:

Since prices are constantly fluctuating, it’s unlikely that all subscribers will get in at my precise recommendation price. Depending on how quickly you act, sometimes your entry price will be lower or higher that what you see listed in the portfolio.

For record-keeping purposes, our gains and initial stops are all based on the entry price listed in our portfolio.

I’m interested in learning more about the patent-pending technology behind Marc’s Stock Sonar System. Where can I find more information?

The best resource is my comprehensive report, “Marc Lichtenfeld’s Stock Sonar: Provisional Patent #62507516.”

This briefing includes the actual provisional patent document that my team of researchers and I submitted to the U.S. patent office.

It contains five diagrams and a complete outline of Stock Sonar’s proprietary set of quantitative parameters. Additionally, it details the special computer software used to “ping” me when an opportunity meets all nine of our “profit trigger” criteria.

I’ll be sure to share more questions and answers in the coming weeks and months.

Good investing,
