How to Use the U.S. Economy to Pinpoint Your Next Trade
Last week the U.S. Federal Reserve decided against raising interest rates four times this year, opting for just two hikes instead.
Some analysts point to this recent change of mind as proof of an impending recession. Others state there's no strong possibility of one.
But I'm not going to wait to find before I make my trading decisions. And you shouldn't either.
This Indicator Has Racked Up Huge Profits for Investors Who Caught It
FOX Business Network host Stuart Varney cut right to the chase recently, asking me within seconds of the market opening:
"What specific strategies can our viewers use to make a lot of money really fast in today's markets?"
"Two things," I replied.
You short the weakest companies – meaning you bet on them going down – and you buy the strongest companies because they've got what's needed to survive turbulent market conditions.
But, today, I want to tell you what I couldn't say on TV.
Right now I'm watching a key technical indicator we've seen only do what it's doing now twice in the past 22 years. What's more, this same indicator has heralded radically different market conditions than most investors expect both times it's appeared.
And some whopping profits for investors who recognized it, too.
Today I want to tell you what "it" is and share a company that's poised for profits as a result.
Here's what you need to know...
Your Entire Trading Strategy May Be Based on a Lie
You might have centered your entire trading strategy around this myth fed to traders – especially newer traders.
But here's the thing: Even if it seems like what you heard is paying off, it will eventually hurt you – and your pockets.You could already be "shorting" yourself on hundreds of thousands of dollars because of it...
Why I Won't Make a Trade Without These Three Little Words
I recently recommended a GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) trade to my Money Calendar Alert subscribers. On Thursday, it became a double – our fourth in two weeks.
But how we got set up for that trade is important; GameStop was a great play, but the next one is coming up soon.
You don't have to have an eagle eye on the markets all day, either – even though I think that's fun.
All you have to do is tell your broker this...
Avoid the Biggest Mistake Traders Make with This Investing Tip
There's no point in spending your money on a trade if you don't know how well a company is doing. And just because a company may seem like it's "too big to fail" doesn't mean it can't.
No matter how large and popular a business may seem, it simply cannot survive if its growth is dwindling or stagnant.

Mark Your Calendars: Bulls Return (Briefly) in March
There's no nice way to say it: The past three months have been ugly for the markets – and the "buy and hold" investing crowd.
Some of my favorite market-tracking exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tell the grim tale…
The 1/100 Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (CBOE: DJX) traded at $177.66 on Dec. 1, 2015. As of Feb. 25, 2016, it's declined more than 6.2% to $166.28…
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE Arca: SPY) could be had for $209.44 a share on Dec. 1, but as of Feb. 25, it's declined more than 7.7% to $193.07…
And the PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 ETF (Nasdaq: QQQ), which tracks the Nasdaq 100, has declined nearly 11%. It's down to $102.26 from $114.48 in the beginning of December.
What's worse, these declines actually reflect the oversold bounce we experienced in mid-February. We haven't seen another.
But… for all that, I'm really excited about the month ahead of us. There are some big profits coming our way.
That's right. I'm bullish in March, because I've seen the same pattern I'm about to show you.
The One Indicator You Need to Find Winning Options Trades
Of all the indicators that are out there, only volume reigns supreme. Many traders and investors misuse or flat-out ignore volume because they don't understand it or simply undervalue it.
But it's absolutely crucial to finding winning options trades, and there are four reasons why...
