    Wall Street Ripped Off Market Volatility Traders - Here's How to Beat Them

    By Alexander Bird, Associate Editor, Money Morning - March 14, 2018

    Wall Street recently peddled investment tools that allowed retail investors to track the inverse performance of the VIX, an index that tracks market volatility.

    Wall Street firms promised immense gains from these funds with manageable risk.

    That all went up in smoke on Feb. 5, when the VIX more than doubled in the course of an hour and sent these inverse funds into free fall.

    However, retail investors don't have to place their faith and funds in complex financial instruments like the XIV to grow their wealth...

Wall Street Ripped Off Market Volatility Traders - Here's How to Beat Them

Why 2016 Will Be So Volatile

By Shah Gilani, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW - January 6, 2016

market volatility

Predicting market performance in any given year is a lot like predicting heavyweight fights; you assess each fighter's history, weigh it against their opponent, read the "tale of the tape," and put your money down on the line.

For 2016, my market prediction is the same as Mr. T's Clubber Lang from "Rocky III": Pain!

Asset classes and markets all over the world will get a heaping helping of extreme volatility.

Here's why 2016 will be so volatile, and what to do.

Why September's Volatility Is a Huge Opportunity for Options Trading

By Tom Gentile, America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades - September 4, 2015

Options trading is one of the best ways to navigate market volatility.

Today, I'm going to explain the different kinds of volatility and how they affect the markets generally and options specifically.

This road map through the chaos, including a few of my favorite options strategies, will help you weather the storm. Let's get started...

How to Beat This Market’s “Three Cs” of Risk

By Tom Gentile, America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades - September 3, 2015

Investing Strategies

The last few weeks of trading have been downright rough...

The markets staged a "whistling past the graveyard" rally for a little more than a week after the Aug. 24 crash only to come tumbling down again by 3% on Sept. 1 as nearly every sector was hit.

Robust technical support levels that were years in the making have been snapped like so many little twigs.

Key indicators have all but failed traders who are scrambling to find bottoms to trade off of, and the Chicago Board of Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) has been breaking six-year records, topping 53 on Aug. 24 and 30 on Sept. 1.

The sheer breadth of the chaos is matched only by the growing chorus of pundits speculating on the drivers of the chaos.

Let them speculate and fumble around in the dark. What's really rocking this market is what I call the "Three Cs."   

Here they are - plus the two sectors that will rise above it all...

How We're Protecting Against Volatility Now

By Money Morning Staff Reports, Money Morning - August 26, 2015

shah gilani

At the end of 2014, we predicted that the coming year would be defined by extreme market chaos. Shah actually called it "the perfect storm of volatility" in his first investor briefing of the year.

Now that volatility is here with a vengeance.

On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average alone dived more than 1,000 points, then surged 900 points... only to drop more than 400 points again. That's a story that repeated itself on indexes worldwide.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) surged to a six-year high of 53.29 until volatility swamped the quoting system.

The market's volatility is here, after months of gearing up for chaos. But we're not sweating it - we're making money.

The Power of the Loophole Trade

By Tom Gentile, America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades - July 21, 2015

amazon stock price

Today we're going to examine in granular detail a moneymaking tool called the loophole trade. And we're going to drill down and comprehensibly discuss why certain market conditions would compel us to recommend this tactic.

Remember: Through familiarity that's gained by the proper application of financial knowledge, you can overcome fear of volatility and risk.

We want you to confidently embrace the power of the loophole trade...

How to Profit from Market Volatility - March 2015

By Money Morning Staff Reports, Money Morning - March 16, 2015

market volatility

Market volatility has been rampant. Last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw triple-digit gains or losses on four out of five trading days.

Volatility will continue in coming months as investors grapple with economic data and try to gauge when the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest rates.

These five tools will help you survive and even profit from market volatility - and they'll help make you wealthy...

How to Profit from Market Volatility in 2015

By Shah Gilani, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW - January 6, 2015

market volatility

Market volatility is going to be extreme - that was my prediction for 2015.

With the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeting more than 300 points yesterday and oil below $50 for the first time since April 2009, now's the time to act.

We're going to be riding the market seesaw, folks, and profiting the whole time. Here's how...

The Most Important Trade You'll Ever Make

By Shah Gilani, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW - November 7, 2014

Stock Market Performance Today

Seasoned investors know there are ways a trade can go wrong for you - that's why thorough research and tight investing discipline are so important.

But, the truth is, there's only one surefire way to lose your shirt, only one move that's absolutely, positively guaranteed to cost you money.

And it's a shockingly easy play to make. In fact, as of 2014, more than 52% of Americans have made this fatal trading mistake.

They didn't see it coming, and, even worse, plenty of these folks thought they were actually playing it safe.

But there's good news: this trap is as easy to avoid as it is to fall into. And once you avoid it, you'll never have to worry about it again...

"Should I Be in the Stock Market Right Now?"

By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report - October 23, 2014

should I be in the stock market right now

On the heels of the worst market volatility in nearly 20 years, and more "crash talk" than we've heard maybe ever, it's starting to look like a smart time to hit the eject button and get out of the markets altogether.

In fact, that's probably the most common question I'm hearing these days: "Should I be in the stock market right now?"

Why Market Volatility Is the New Normal

By Shah Gilani, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW - October 10, 2014

market volatility

Market volatility is back with a vengeance. The triple-digit moves in the Dow Jones Industrial Average we're seeing almost daily are telling us that markets are very nervous.

Investors are jumping out because they don't want to get caught in a correction, and they're jumping back in because they don't want to miss the next leg up. However, things aren't exactly what they seem to be.

Here’s the truth about the new volatility…
