Wall Street's Worst Nightmare Is Your Next Big Payday

Wall Street has tried to keep this moneymaking tactic from you.

And they've given you warning after warning to stay away from this lucrative opportunity.

But I'm done playing by Wall Street's games...

So today, I'm going to let you in on a secret that gives you a real shot at making some serious cash in the market.

And here it is...

Most Stocks and ETFs Are Trash

That's right... pure junk.

Now I realize that this probably goes against everything you've ever been told. In fact, I'm willing to bet that at some point in your life, you've probably been told to dump your cash into a bunch of different stocks, mutual funds, and even annuities to make the most of your portfolio.

But here's the problem...

Right now, there are over 4,000 public companies listed on U.S. exchanges and over 25,000 different stocks to trade worldwide. And the big banks and brokerage firms want you to gamble your money on all of them. The worst part is... they don't actually care which ones you buy and sell, and they definitely aren't trying to help you minimize your costs (and broker fees) and maximize your profits.

Whether you're buying stocks, mutual funds, or even annuities – the Wall Streeters want you to spend your hard-earned cash on investments that'll take 10, 15, or even 25 years to give you a mere 10%. And that's 10% in a good year – if you're lucky. Most of the time, the returns are far less than that.

Start the Countdown: In just FIVE days, you could have a fat check for $23,441 in your mailbox. And the best part is, it's just one short phone call away. Over 80% of eligible seniors may be entitled to this cash. Are you one of them?

It doesn't matter if your trade is a winner or a loser; your broker gets paid in fees and commissions. And even if your investments actually make you some money, the big investment banks are taking the thousands of dollars you've worked your entire life to save and are putting it to work on risky speculative investments to enrich themselves.

That's how they rig the game against you.

They're not looking out for your financial interests or your financial future. And that's exactly why it's time for you to take back control.

But with 25,000 stocks... where do you begin?

It starts with getting rid of the junk – you know, the 98% of stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) out there that simply aren't worth even a penny. Even that latest IPO that's getting everyone's attention, that hot stock tip from your friend, and that company you've spent hours researching and are convinced is a sure bet – all of 'em most likely belong in the junk pile.

So today, I'm going to show you how to filter out the only stocks worth trading.

Now let's get started...

How to Find the Top 10 "Movers" to Trade

[mmpazkzone name="in-story" network="9794" site="307044" id="137008" type="4"]

With so many "junk" stocks and ETFs out there, the last thing I'd ever recommend is trying to sort through all the optionable stocks (stocks that offer options) one by one – that will eventually drive you crazy. Fortunately, I've developed a great method to whittle it down to the 10 best stocks at any given time.

Now I use my proprietary tools to run a scan that searches for what I call my "Top Movers." First, I look for only the stocks with options that trade in penny increments, typically within a $0.05 bid/ask spread. That narrows it down to around 250 stocks in total.

Using this technology, I can sift through patterns in oil, gold, technology stocks, and more – patterns that nobody else can possibly see. These are patterns that repeat over and over again with 80% to 100% consistency.

Think about how much that trading advantage could mean to you... just how much it could move the needle on your existing portfolio... what it could mean for your retirement planning.

You can find that list of stocks without your own software by looking at the Penny Pilot list on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) website.


But even though you know exactly where to go, sifting through 250 stock charts to look for the most volatile ones is still a lot of work.

So here are three parameters to cut that number down even further:

  1. Look for stocks over $100 per share.
  2. Look for stocks that move an average of 1% a day between the high and low.
  3. Look for stocks that correlate to the market.

Here is a snapshot of the stocks that meet the criteria above and have been on the move over the previous seven days (at time of writing). Keep in mind that this list changes daily, so these results could be different from what you're looking at when you open it:


Usually a few of the top spots will be ETFs, but we've got a solid collection of stocks here, including AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV), Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE: ABX), Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET), Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN), FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), Amgen Inc. (Nasdaq: AMGN), Anthem Inc. (NYSE: ANTM), and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: APC).

The third column to the right, Column C, shows the stocks' percentage move over the last seven days, and the seventh column shows how well the stock correlates to the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY), which is what I use to measure the markets, over the last 20 days.

With those two numbers, you can figure out how well a stock moves, and if it's moving with or against the markets. Once you have this list of stocks, you can run any number of screens and filters to assess which of these "Top Movers" would make the best option play.

Folks, this is a perfect example of how Wall Street constantly tries to pull the wool over our eyes... which is why I'm on a mission to beat Wall Street at its own game, using the fastest-growing moneymaker they don't want you to know about...

And I'm here to be your guide.
