A lot of you might be trading more than ever before. Some even for the first time. I'm thrilled to be here to help you through it.

One of the most important trading tips to know first is that when purchasing stocks or stock options, there's one foolproof way to make sure you're getting into a winning trade every single time

Predicting the future.

Of course, that's impossible to do with 100% accuracy – but I have the next best thing to a crystal ball. It's simple, easy to understand, and removes all the guesswork from trading.

And the "crystal ball" I use is something you all can access, too…

The best way to predict stock movements is by using historic patterns and technical analysis – which go hand in hand. These technical indicators use math, time, and price to uncover stocks' patterns.

But there are two very revealing indicators I track on a stock's price chart that are the tried-and-true best ways to find lucrative trades.

Markets Live Recap: Why the Dow Fell for the First Time in 5 Trading Days

Stocks started the day up about 1%, building on yesterday's positive momentum that 12 states were looking to reopen parts of their economies.

But as the latest earnings reports of the FAANG stocks came into focus, investors became nervous.

This afternoon, these market leaders started selling off ahead of their conference calls with analysts later this week.

That's what ultimately drove the market down mid-day and into the close.

Here's what our experts - Chris Johnson, Tom Gentile, D.R. Barton, Jr., and Shah Gilani - saw in the stock, bond, and gold markets today, April 28...

Markets Live Recap: Unemployment in Focus Today

This morning, United States weekly jobless claims came in at 4.4 million.

Just over 26 million Americans have now applied for unemployment… In the last 5 weeks.

That means the U.S. economy has wiped out all the job gains since the Great Recession.

Unemployment sits at 23% and it doesn't look like we're close to re-opening the economy any time soon.

Despite that, investors shrugged off the news, bidding up the S&P 500 about 1.7% to start the day.

But stocks turned over mid-day and closed about flat.

After the Apocalypse: How We'll Make Money in the Post-Pandemic World

The novel coronavirus isn't "novel" anymore.

It's everywhere.

And it's disrupting how we live, how we work, and how we invest.

Huge paradigm shifts are already underway.

Here's how life as we know it is changing…

The Reaction to COVID-19's Origin and Spread

The origin of the novel coronavirus is unknown – at least officially. But that hasn't stopped speculation about whether the virus manifested itself naturally – perhaps originating in bats, got passed to an intermediate animal host, and morphed or became zoonotic, and able to infect humans – or whether it is a manmade virus.

If it is zoonotic in origin, the world will still want to know where and how it happened – and how to prevent naturally occurring future virus mutations.

If its origin is manmade – whether it was being engineered as a SARS vaccine, or as an HIV-attached bioweapon – we need to know.

It matters.

When the truth is discovered, or the most plausible scenario gets mapped out, countries are going to react. The nature of global relations will change… Full Story

Markets Live Recap: Our Experts Cover Oil, Earnings, and How to Trade Options

The Down fell another 630 points today after another oil plunge – but this time that focus was on the June 2020 contracts.

Yesterday, the May 2020 contracts fell as far as negative $40. Today, they were up to a positive $9.

But the June contracts fell 36% to $13 today as investors are beginning to realize that the "new normal" is likely lower oil prices for longer as Saudi Arabia and Russia aggressively try to drive U.S. producers out of business.

In addition to oil, earnings were in focus today.

Here's what our experts - Chris Johnson, Tom Gentile, D.R. Barton, Jr., and Shah Gilani - saw in the oil markets, think about upcoming earnings, and how to profit off implied options volatility in any market.

Dow Jones Struggles as Congress Works on Another Round of Coronavirus Stimulus

The Dow Jones will have another volatile day as the effect of the pandemic has taken a much bigger toll than expected.

Last week, more than 6.6 million new workers filed for unemployment benefits.

That brought the total number of claims to more than 16 million Americans over three weeks.
