I wished I had more questions like that because it actually was an easy one to answer.

First of all, visitors to the Stock-Market-Keywords site could check out the results of my stock trading transactions available from the UpDown Trading page. The trading strategies used to grow this account rely strictly on information available from stock metadata reports.

If you take a few moments now to check, you will notice that since this UpDown account was originally opened on March 3, 2009 and funded with $1,000,000 and has continued to outperform the S&P 500 since that time.

And as further proof of the value of stock metadata as a strategic stock investment tool, on October 9, 2009 I decided to put my reputation on the line.

I went online and posted a price prediction for Morgan Stanley shares on the Yahoo! message board. Prior to doing so, I did some analysis of the most recent stock metadata reports on Morgan Stanley stock.

After identifying the selection criteria that I’d be using, I then proceeded to filter the data. Within seconds, I isolated the information I needed. Then I performed some simple calculations to come up with two numbers:

1. If the market closed up for the day, the average amount of potential increase in price of MS shares from the previous day’s closing price and


2. If the market closed down for the day, the average amount of potential decrease in value of MS shares from the previous day’s closing price and

Then the only thing left for me to do was to apply those two numbers to the previous day’s closing price for MS shares.

I now had the anticipated high and low closing prices which I stipulated would be my prediction if the total amount of shares traded for the day was less than 12,687,000.

To make a long story short, I projected a close of 32.18 if Bulls ruled at the end of the day. Well, Morgan Stanley actually closed at 32.09 with 11,635,304 shares changing hands. But seconds later, MS shares started trading at 32.18 in after-hours trading.
