How to Invest for the Recession That's Already Here

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report - • Print | Email

In a meeting with The Washington Post's editorial board earlier this month, GOP presidential primary candidate Donald Trump said the economy was so dicey that the United States was headed for "a very massive recession."

As I noted on FOX Business' "Varney & Co.," I think we're already there, even if the Fed doesn't realize it yet.

Here's the thing – the measures the Fed uses to judge economic activity are based on a manufacturing economy that we enjoyed more than 100 years ago. They simply don't reflect the services-based system we live in presently.

The hard truth is millions of American families are living paycheck to paycheck. The economic "recovery" that the Fed and legions of economists are so proud of having engineered doesn't exist – and hasn't for a very long time.

Here's the real state of American prosperity - and what you can do to ensure you're not left behind...

How to Make Profitable Earnings Season Trades Every Time

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

When you're trading options, getting on the "right side" of the trade simply means going long with calls on a stock that's going up, and short with puts on a stock that's headed down.

But earnings season really increases the stakes and the intensity of trading. Options premiums can fluctuate widely going into an earnings announcement, and things can get really interesting once the announcement is made, gapping up if the results are favorable, and down if they aren't.

Figuring out where these stocks will go so you can trade the appropriate options contracts would be one of trading's biggest challenges…

…if you had to concern yourself with it at all.

Today, I'm going to make it all easier for you, and show you how you can make money without having to guess where the stock is going after earnings announcements.

Trading doesn't get much easier than that, and earnings season is just about to get into full swing, so you'll be able to make some serious money over the next few weeks.

The Smartest Way to Use "Other People's Money"

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

We've all heard the old saying, "it takes money to make money." And that's true enough. But…

…it doesn't necessarily have to be your money.

Today I'm going to show you an advanced trading strategy that you can use to effectively "borrow" money or, as we'll see, even shares from your broker to fund the purchase of stocks and execute certain kinds of trades.

Of course I'm talking about trading "on margin." I'm going to show you how to add margin to your trading account – and your profit arsenal.

This strategy offers an advantage: You can increase your buying power to strengthen winning positions and increase your returns.

Now this is very important: The method I'm going to show you carries special risks, too. I'm going to show you exactly what those risks are, but only you can decide your risk tolerance and what's right for you.

That's just plain smart trading for any strategy.

So, let's get started...

The Ultimate Must-Have Investment

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report - • Print | Email

The "ultimate must-have investment" is a profit play that, when executed correctly, can't fail, but not one in a million investors has thought about it, let alone knows how to play it for maximum profits.

The situation is so lopsided, in fact, that I'd venture a guess that 99.99% of all investors could quadruple their allocation to this particular must-have opportunity and still not have enough.

Which makes this an even bigger opportunity for you...

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

I recently showed you how you can use Japanese "candlestick" charts to detect real-time changes in the momentum of the market.

Knowing how to read these charts is critical to making sure you're on the right side of the action, every time.

That's because the charts themselves can fill you in on emerging trading patterns. Today I want to teach you how to spot some patterns that I tend to take very seriously whenever I see them playing out.

I'll even show you how to spot a looming reversal. You can start using your knowledge of these patterns to outwit, out-trade, and outperform the competition today, so let's get started...
