    3 Simple Steps to Trading a Recession All the Way to Recovery

    By , America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades -

    The Dow is on track for its best week since 1938 - but that doesn't mean it's all blue skies ahead.

    Last week's unemployment claims, released Thursday morning, soared to an unprecedented number of 3.3 million - the highest in history. Second place isn't even close, with the previous high sitting at just 695,000 in 1982.

    Never in my lifetime could I have imagined an event like this. With businesses across the country shutting down, the economy is in danger of plunging into a full-blown recession - and there seems to be nothing we can do to stop it.

    The word "recession" is scary. But it's not the end of the world... not even close.

    In fact, you could come out of it even stronger than you were before.

Keep Calm and Trade – How to Make Money in a Bear Market

By , America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades -

The phrase no one can predict the future has never rung truer than it does right now.

Back when I first heard the word "coronavirus" in January,

I could never have predicted it would lead to stocked fridges and toilet paper sell-outs.

See, in the past month alone, restaurants around the country have closed.

Schools have moved entirely to online learning.

The markets have tanked 30%. And I'm willing to bet the majority of you are reading this from your couch, back aching from leaning over a laptop all day.

Businesses and individuals everywhere are losing money.

And when you're watching cash flow out of your bank account, it's hard not to panic.

But you don't have to feel trapped in the market meltdown.

There are three things you can do right now...

How to Trade Through a Global Crisis

By , Money Morning -

recession

With the extreme moves in the market today, it would be easy to close your eyes and just hope things get better.

But the trader's best weapon right now is a sober view of reality.

Reacting to each market extreme or avoiding markets altogether isn't a winning strategy.

Remember, for all the losses you see, somebody is taking the other side of all these trades and is making a killing.

Why not you?

This Black Swan Trade Saw 1,000% Profits This Week

By , Special Situation Strategist, Money Morning -

The idea of buying low priced options on events conventional wisdom says will not happen may seem like a crazy idea.

But the fact is that if you get the payout and probability math correct, it can be a source of wild profits.

We call these "Black Swan" trades.

Most of the events will never happen, and you will lose money on the options you purchase.

Those that do work, however, will make you an enormous amount of money.

How to Trade Coronavirus Volatility for 450% Gains

By , Money Morning -

Fears over the coronavirus have brought volatility back in a big way.

Last week, the CBOE Volatility Index ($VIX) rocketed 88% higher.

But don't let that scare you. Volatility means stocks move.

That means more potential to profit.

We're taking advantage of that by trading options on some of the stocks most affected by the volatility and we've already bagged gains of 450% and 50% in just a week.

And we're going to keep going this week with this trade...

How Virgin Galactic Could Triple Your Money by Spring

By , America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades -

Had you bought Amazon back in December 2014, you'd be sitting on a 600% gain right now.

Boeing in January 2009 would have given you 863% by now. And purchasing shares of Apple in December 2008 would have returned 2,583% today.

These are incredible returns that could have turned as little as $500 into $3500, $4815, even $13,415...

But there's a catch. It would have taken you years to get there. In the case of Apple and Boeing, it would have taken over a decade.

Investing in the technologies of the future is lucrative, sure. But it's a long-term investment - and why wait to make that kind of cash if you don't have to?

Lock in Big Winners with the "Profit Collar" Strategy

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth -

JoAnna B. pulled me aside sheepishly in Orlando at the World MoneyShow with a great question recently... how do I protect big profits on big winners?

Like many folks who've been following along in Total Wealth and our sister publication, Money Map Report, she's sitting on some really terrific winners but doesn't quite know how to protect the profits that go with 'em.

It's a fabulous problem and, frankly, one that more investors would love to have.Selling is one way to go... but not necessarily the best way to go.

Let me explain.

Find These Three Stocks' Hidden Profits Before the Bears Rush In

By , America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades -

We're right in the midst of fourth-quarter (Q4) earnings season, and after a slew of positive reports, the markets have spent most of January heating up...

Now, typically when the markets are moving like this, we look at the top and bottom 10% of stocks - the ones hitting headlines while they rocket and fall.

But the majority of the market's stocks lie in between these big-name movers.

And that's a lot of profit opportunity to leave sitting on the table.

That's why today, I want to show you three of these "in-between" stocks - and how to play them for your wallet's benefit.
