What's the Hole story on Halbert's system?
 

Hi,

I keep getting these sales letters from Halbert offering his stock trading system for $970 (for a short time).

What is Halbert's system? Anyone know? It's something like daytrade companies that just got good news, or something like that.

More info, though, would be greatly appreciated. In fact, does anyone have a Halbert system they'd sell me?

Best,

-Boyd

Boyd,

I'm sure you know more about stocks than I do...so let me ask you a question:

What would happen if you had a large group of "friends" that you encouraged to buy a certain stock based on a "special" tip you received?

They all buy within a 24-48 hour time frame.

Would that cause the stock price to go up?

If it does go up substantially, could you not then tell your "friends" to sell immediately and take their profits?

Does this make any sense?

How many "friends" would it take to influence a stock price in this manner?

Would someone like Halbert have that many "friends" with money to put in the stock market?

Boyd, could you do something like that?

Would it be legal?

About all I know about stocks is buy low, sell high. And make sure you can afford to lose it all before you buy anything...

Good point, JDB

Thank you for the compliment, but all I know is how to read barcharts.

Maybe Halbert's system is a combination of your idea and some method that Halbert has that indicates stocks that might be likely to spike.
