Your Portfolio Protection Plan for What's Ahead

By , Quantitative Specialist, Money Morning - • Print | Email

One of our Chris Johnson's friends recently asked if he should have a bear market plan in place.

Chris wondered why he wouldn't have a plan to take care of anything that might get in the way of his other plans, like retirement.

After all, he does have a plan for retirement.

His friend's answer to this is the answer everyone gives: "Things happen, and I can't stop them…" But they're wrong.

Having an insurance plan for your portfolio is just as, if not more, important than any protection you'll have, and it doesn't have to be complicated.

There are just three critical parts to any bull or bear market plan that can help you prepare for whatever the market is getting ready to throw in your direction...

This "High-Probability" Profit Play Is Perfect for a Fear-Driven Market

By , America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades - • Print | Email

There's an old adage that goes, "The bulls climb up the stairs, and the bears fall out the window."

Basically, stocks fall faster than they rise – and that statement has never rung more true.

The Dow was climbing to new highs all year long. And then, Monday, Feb. 24, hit and erased every single one of those gains all in one day.

People are scared – and fear grows like wildfire. As wealth dissipates, fear increases, and a vicious circle ensues…

But there's a way to measure the fear in this market and use it to your advantage – to make money on the free fall.

While investors are moving their money around in a desperate cry for help, smart traders are grabbing cash like it's floating in an arcade's wind booth.

And now, it's your turn.

Learn to "Love the Down" and Reap Massive Stock Profits

By , Special Situation Strategist, Money Morning - • Print | Email

I haven't uncorked the champagne yet, but the mood is noticeably better here in the comfortable confines of Chez Melvin.

Why? The market, of course – what else? It's trying to sell off, but it's not quite there yet.

Over the years, I have learned to love bear markets – the bigger and badder the bear, the better. While everyone else is panicking and selling their stock, exchange-traded funds, and mutual fund positions for pennies on the dollar, I'm the one buying those positions for even fewer pennies on the dollar. When the bears are running, you'll find me paying bargain prices for great companies with wild abandon.

I've spent a lot of time studying what does and does not work in the stock market. When it comes to getting rich, the one thing that works – better than anything, pretty much guaranteed – is buying good companies when the stock market has fallen by 20% or more.

Here's how to do that in style… Full Story

The Easiest Way to Beat the Market in 2019

By , Technical Trading Specialist, Money Morning • @DRBarton_Stocks - • Print | Email

The market looks pretty grim right now, no question. But you know what? There's money to be made no matter what happens next.

Case in point: We recently closed a nice 102.3% profit on WYNN after just one and a half days – days that saw the broad markets slide precipitously.

So, be they bullish or bearish, the opportunities are clearly always out there.

That's why I've arranged a very special interview for you all today. It's kind of a Christmastime tradition for our 10-Minute Millionaire and Private Briefing subscribers that we'd like to share with everyone today.

I'm going to sit down with William Patalon, III – "Bill" to his friends – to talk about two ways the markets could shape up and, of course, how you can make money no matter how the next 12 months unfold.

Let's jump right in...

By , Quantitative Specialist, Money Morning - • Print | Email

With the Dow Jones, NASDAQ Composite, and S&P 500 all in negative territory for the year, it's no wonder that some traders are heading for the hills.
