I Found a Bear Market Hiding in the Weirdest Place - Here's How to Profit
Tech stocks have been the most celebrated of this pandemic year.
It's been tech that's kept us connected to friends, family, and colleagues. It's kept some of us working, and it's helped some of us find work. Tech has kept us clothed and fed.
I'd go so far as to say modern tech has been the glue that's helped hold the country together since March.
Ultimately, it'll be technology that gets us a vaccine or therapy in record time, which in turn gets the economy out of this mess and on track to a full recovery.
In that sense, it's really a no-brainer that the tech-centric Nasdaq Composite has been outperforming this year, despite the economy. It took the Nasdaq 20 years to double from 5,000 to 10,000. But it was the first index to reach record highs after the March crash, shooting as high as 75% since then.
For a $10 trillion index to turn in that performance in a year – after a crash… Well, that's when you know it's got the "secret sauce."
That's why it was so jarring to uncover – let's call it – the "Nasdaq's dirty secret." I found it when I was looking at some charts, researching some recommendations for my paid subscribers.
And no, I'm not talking about the current correction underway.
It turns out, there are a few skeletons in this closet. Skeletons that could jolt some unprepared investors.
But for us, it adds up to some choice profit opportunities… Full Story

Is This the Start of a Stock Market Crash?
Volatility returned to the markets in the last week as the VIX spiked 38.5% and the S&P 500 experienced a 7% decline.
With the economy still struggling, investors are wondering if this is the start of another stock market crash.
But it could also be just a bit of “fat trimming” in a longer-term bull market poised to go higher.
Here's everything you need to know now...
7 Reasons We're Headed for Another Stock Market Crash
The steep stock market crash in March took a lot of investors by surprise.
And the rally since has raised hopes that a new bull market has already begun.
But investors need to wary of this rally.
Despite all the government intervention, stocks are sitting on shaky ground.
Here's are seven reasons we'll see a second stock market crash this year...
What’s the Difference Between a Bear Market and a Recession?
After an 11-year bull market, we had an abrupt stock market crash – thanks to fears of what the coronavirus lockdown will do to the U.S. economy.
Suddenly we're using terms like "bear market" and "recession" – and given the uncertainty over what lies ahead we may be using them for quite a while.
We realize investors may be a little rusty on how these terms are defined and how they relate to each other.
That's OK, we've got the answers...
Where Stocks Are Headed Next
When you're stuck at home day in and day out, your thoughts tend to wander. And mine have been stuck on this market.
We're more than 20% down from recent market highs – the flat-out definition of a bear market.
But at the same time, stocks have begun to rally. As I'm writing, we're around a 20% retracement from recent market lows as well.
Now, typically, I wouldn't buy this rally. But it's definitely testing me…
Are we in the midst of a bear market or a bull market? Each side has a solid argument backing it up – so today, I'm using three charts to show you where I see stocks headed next… Full Story
How Long Will the Coronavirus Market Crash Last?
Even while legislators discuss measures to relieve the economy in the coronavirus market crash, volatility runs high.
It's uncertain where the market is going day-to-day.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is above 60.
It never went higher than 30 in 2019.
That's making it hard for investors to know what's coming next.
That's why we want to talk about how long the coronavirus market crash will last.
Here's what we know about that so far.
Whether or not the answer becomes clear, there's only one thing you need to worry about...
