When you use the correct tools for the job, you have much more flexibility to make money.
In FSLR, we entered on 11/1/11 at $46.78. We exited the position on 12/12/11 at $44.36. That is a small loss of $2.42. If we bought 100 shares then we lost $242 on a $4678 investment.
Using Hidden Money Method #1 we would have lost $2.4, but the investment was less than half of the stock investment at $2140.
We could have used the Hidden Money Methods #2, to create extra income. We could have realized $8.62 profit if we invested properly. This would have resulted in a gain of $6.22 if we combined the #1 and #2.
So we were able to take a stock that had potential but did not do anything and make 29% rather then losing 5% on the stock.
