The Fed

Investors: Lower Rates Might Not Mean What You Think

by Leave a Comment

I was online with some of my team members last Wednesday while the Fed was announcing a 25-basis-point cut to the Fed funds target rate.

As usual, the conversation was lighthearted, but I got thought-provoking questions: What did I think about the fact that central banks all around the world were pumping stimulus into their economies at essentially the same time? Are we getting set up for a global smackdown as some of the market preppers are suggesting?

A story came right to mind. With this much cheap money flooding global markets again, some things are going to change… Full Story

These Long Picks Should Soar as the Rally Takes Hold

by 2 Comments

I feel like I'm trapped in a never-ending nightmare installment of "Deal or No Deal" right now. And I bet you feel the same way.

On Friday, traders were biting like trout; market vibes were upbeat on word of a "partial deal." But then, Chinese government media outlets said, not in so many words, "Whoah – don't break out the champagne just yet!"

So the Chinese have thrown cold water on things, but the administration's still calling this "phase one" of a deal.

I watched Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on CNBC yesterday morning talking about the deal. Questions were coming left and right… and Mnuchin was dodging right and left. It's clear there are a lot of details still to be ironed out, and no one in the White House feels like talking about them.

But still, most of the pieces are in place for a decent run higher, maybe even back to all-time highs. When we see stocks and volatility hit the levels I'm going to show you, we'll know that a respectable bull run is underway.

Make sure you've got a position in these stocks poised to move higher when the bull is confirmed… Full Story

Use This Red Line to Find Dozens of Money-Doubling Opportunities Each Week

by 1 Comment

When I'm out on the golf course, I can usually play 'em straight and long – on a quiet day, that is. But when the wind whips up and starts to mess with me a bit, I've got to switch up to a shorter game to keep the wind from burying my handicap.

Playing stocks isn't any different. (You knew I was going to say that, didn't you?) What works on a calm day will bury you when the "weather" gets lively. When you change your game, you get much better long- and short-term results.

I'm going to show you how, right now. And you don't have to just take my word for it; I'll give you the name of a stock - one I think is good for a double-digit gain - to try out this new technique...

Here's What to Do About This Market Rally

by Leave a Comment

I could almost hear the sigh of relief from Cincinnati when the Friday jobs report came in higher than expected.

It was useful to note that stock futures didn't really move lower, but the Treasury yield did. That, my friends, is a pretty clear sign that the market is absolutely, positively counting on the Fed to juice the market with another rate cut in 12 days.

Now, interestingly, the last Fed meeting saw a drop in rates just as the market anticipated.

The S&P 500 was around 3,015 just ahead of the announcement. At the time of writing, we're at 2,983.91 – and trying like mad to get back to 3,015 just before the next meeting that is likely to yield the same action from the Fed.

So here's how I think it'll play out...

How to Change Up Your Trading When Markets Get Rough

by Leave a Comment

I'm going to share a quick pro trading secret with you today. Don't worry – I won't get kicked out of the elite traders' club for sharing it, but you'll definitely impress your friends if they get a look at your account balance.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, the VIX, has been pretty hot this year, running anywhere from 12.1 to 25.4. It didn't dip below 15 for all of August. What's that tell you? That the market's moving more than usual! What I mean is that moving up, down, all around – it's enough to send most investors into a tailspin.

There's no reason to expect that turbulence to subside for the rest of the year. Geopolitics, seasonality, trade, the economy, and even the president's Twitter feed will keep the VIX action hot.

In other words, strap yourself in – because it's going to be a volatile three months to round out the year. Above all, don't be scared. Remember my Eighth Commandment of Trading: "Volatility is a trader's best friend."

That's right; as traders, we need volatility because a market that's moving means a market full of opportunities.

So that you're better able to capture every single one of those chances, I'm going to show you a tweak pro traders use when markets get chaotic.

It'll take you about four seconds to get the hang of this – and even less time to see how powerful it is. You can start using it immediately to spot chances and rake in profits at a time when, typically, slower traders are giving their profits back to Wall Street…
