Today's markets live afternoon session was a wild one.
The Dow was up 4% in the first half of the trading day, but was ultimately met with selling resistance midway through the day and closed slightly lower.
While that sounds concerning, the constant volatility we're seeing today is actually creating a multitude of opportunities to make fast profits.

Warren Buffett has largely remained out of the headlines during this financial downturn.
While other money managers like Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn continue to generate headlines, Buffett has largely remained quiet.
Prior to the market crash in March, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) had roughly $128 billion in cash.
That level of dry powder means that it could purchase nearly any U.S. company trading on the public markets.
Berkshire is likely to deploy some of its cash; however, it could choose to boost its existing stakes in its portfolio companies instead of buying a new company.
Here are three major holdings of Berkshire Hathaway that could be excellent "Warren Buffett stocks" to buy.

Looking at the wild markets this week, one thing – maybe the only thing – for sure right now is that market volatility is here to stay.
Long-term investors will want to simply stay the course. Stay disciplined and stick to your established strategy.
Of course, daily 1,000-point swings have handed us many new short-term profit opportunities. Exploiting this volatility, as many smart traders do, can be very profitable.
Smart trading does not mean trying to find a stock that will pop and time your buying perfectly, as some investors have tried to do recently. Piling in to the "hot" biotech stock that's jumping on vaccine rumors can be extremely expensive and high-risk – and it rarely pays off.
That's why I love options. In a market like this one, they allow you to get in and get out in a short time frame, with much lower risk, much lower cost, and much lower stress, as well.
Of course, huge moves like this can bring increased risk to your trades – but there's a simple way to lower that risk while taking advantage of this historic volatility… Full Story

A successful IPO stock pick can be very rewarding.
But some investors have figured out how to maximize that reward by investing in companies long before they're publicly traded.
These are called angel investors.
And they're more common than you might think.
In fact, you could be one, too...
