Believe It or Not, the Market's Not Quite Volatile Enough Yet

By , Quantitative Specialist, Money Morning -

Okay, this volatility is certainly getting tiring, isn't it? Or at least it would be if it weren't so insanely profitable.

Last week, I pointed out that the S&P 500 - "the market" - had arrived at another critical point at which the important 200-day moving average would hold - or die trying.

It died trying, falling through support, and that's led to an accelerating slide for stocks ever since. As I write this at Monday mid-morning, the S&P 500 is down almost 1%.

Stocks, like a lot of other things, like to move along the path of least resistance. And right now, the path of least resistance is d-o-w-n. 

Let's look at what's greasing the wheels for this persistent downward momentum, when it will get even choppier (and it needs to), and how we might bank a little cash ourselves...

Our "Single-Stock Wealth Machine" Just Had Its Single Best Day Ever

By , Executive Editor, Money Morning • @privatebrief -

alibaba

E-commerce heavyweight Alibaba has quickly become to Chinese consumers what Amazon is to U.S. shoppers.

And this is partly due to "Singles' Day," which helped the firm rack up $30.8 billion in sales.

Bill's got the juicy details on this "single-stock wealth machine"...

Use This Simple Strategy to Find Portfolio-Boosting Market Trends

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

One of the first things you learn when you jump into the stock market is to pay attention to what the herd's doing...

But while it's true that trends can lead you to some of your biggest wins, they can also rip you away from your profits if you're not careful.

And that's exactly why I'm going to show you how to pick the right trend to fatten your portfolio each and every time.

Here's what I mean...

A Survival Guide for the Worst Market Crashes, Part 2

By , Special Situation Strategist, Money Morning -

When I was considering the question of whether or not rate hikes mattered, I realized something even more profoundly simple.

Nothing actually matters in the financial markets, until it does.

I have seen stocks shake off rate hikes, wars, New England Patriots Super Bowl victories, ridiculous fiscal policies, and other sorts of calamities before calmly moving higher. I have also seen markets that collapse on fears of currency moves, human error, and stupidity (the most common cause of market collapses).

We'll never know what the market is going to say, but once it does speak, there are certainly tools you can use to decipher its message.

Personally, I prefer buying assets trading far below their fair value, waiting until they rise back to that fair value or higher, and selling them for a huge profit.

However, I know that while I may be a smart guy, I'm definitely not the smartest guy participating in the markets. I have my own investing philosophy that's worked well for decades, but I'm certainly not above freely stealing ideas from other bright investors if those ideas make me taller, better looking, or wealthier.

With that in mind, today I'll show you two ways to hear what the market is saying, sidestep the worst market conditions, and generate huge windfalls as everyone else runs for the hills.

And these two methods happen to have been developed by the unlikeliest of investors – a California surfer and a former Marine...

Get Double-Digit Gains as This In-Demand Metal Gets Its Mojo Back

By , Resource Specialist, Money Morning -

price of platinum in 2017

A little while back, our Peter Krauth predicted that platinum was on the cusp of soaring due to demand, supply, and utility.

Well, it looks like his prediction came true, with the metal already up over $100 per ounce.

What's more, with Peter's two platinum plays, you'll be bagging double-digit profits...

I've Never Seen This Insanely Lucrative Pattern in November Before

By , Quantitative Specialist, Money Morning -

I have a list. It's a list of commandments - trading commandments. I won't make or recommend for my readers a single move if it runs counter to what's on my list.

The commandments have helped me make a ton of money in my time as a trader. They've helped give my Night Trader readers the chance to close out a "perfect" October with total gains of 797% - and they've helped you make 155% from my Fast Profits trading recommendation last month.

And now this one commandment in particular is about to deliver a rich payday all over again...

Here's What to Expect from Stocks into December

By , Technical Trading Specialist, Money Morning • @DRBarton_Stocks -

The midterms are history, and so is a major source of uncertainty.

I realize that we have headwinds out there - tariff troubles, bearish moves by market-leading big tech stocks, and rising interest rates, to name just a few.

Right now, my technical, fundamental, and seasonal analyses show that we have a good probability of markets finishing strongly into year's end.

It's that seasonal analysis right now that's particularly interesting - and particularly strong.

I think that tendency is going to have a lot to say in the argument over just where we're going in the near- and intermediate-term...

Patience Is a Wealth-Building Virtue – Here's How to Use It

By , Special Situation Strategist, Money Morning -

I am often asked why I follow the rules of the Heatseeker portfolio as closely as I do.

I have learned over the years that breaking the rules usually ends in financial tears, so I try to be as disciplined as possible about the process.

It's not always easy, as I am as susceptible to a good story as the next guy.

But one stock, in particular, proves why you should...

How to Make Any Investment You Have "Risk Free"

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

There's no way to eliminate risk 100% when it comes to investing.

I can't do it. You can't do it. And if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, take your money and run.

There's just no such thing.

Yet, unbeknownst to most investors, there is a way to make any investment risk "free" under the right circumstances using one of my favorite Total Wealth Tactics: the "Free Trade."

Not only does this remove risk from your portfolio, but it means you can potentially build profits faster, more consistently, and more securely than you might think.

Doing so is a critically important concept, given current market conditions.

We'll always have market corrections... but corrections, I might add, that you don't have to fear if you understand what we're going to talk about today.

This is your moment of truth...

The Black Hole of Broker Fees Has Been Stealing Your Profits for Years – but Not Anymore…

By , Special Situation Strategist, Money Morning -

Earlier this week we talked about investing based on trends, and I pointed out one long-lasting trend that should drive homebuilders higher by several multiples in the years ahead.

While I think you would probably do pretty well just buying and holding builders at the current levels, I am not satisfied with just doing well. I want to do exceedingly – two stages past fantastic – well.

To do that, I wait for the individual companies to come into buy range based on my numbers-oriented approach to stock selection. Catching a significant social, demographic, or economic trend in the markets can be a good thing. Finding one at a bargain price is a spectacular thing.

So today, I want to talk about another huge trend that is going to change an entire industry completely.

This one not only saves you money, it could make you money...

The "Total Wealth Principle of Forced Perspective" Is Worth Millions

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

American humorist, actor, and social commentator Will Rogers once said, "Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement."

Rogers was adored during the 1930s. I can only wonder what he'd say today.

History rarely works out as expected, especially when it comes to the perspective you need to profit from it. Society, of course, doesn't think this way, which is why our lives are filled with information "everybody" knows is true – but really isn't.

For example, many people...

The One Tactic You Need to Beat Wall Street at Its Own Game

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

Conventional wisdom holds that Wall Street is rigged to favor the big traders and that you'll never win.

The implication is, of course, why even try?

I've never believed that, and you shouldn't either.

In reality, there are plenty of savvy investors who have beaten, and continue to beat, Wall Street at its own game during times of great market stress – including Sir John Templeton, the legendary Jim Rogers, Stanley Druckenmiller, and Warren Buffett, just to name a few.

I want YOU to be one of 'em, and I'm here to tell you that YOU can beat the Street.

I'm not kidding.

YOU can do this – starting with understanding something I call the Lowball Order.

It's one of my favorite Total Wealth Tactics because it's such a powerful profit creator.

And here's how you use it...

How This 38-Year-Old Little Yellow Guy Helped Me Build a Fortune

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

Atari token

If you're "of an age," shall we say, there's no doubt you at least remember Pac-Man, even if you didn't spend hours playing it... like I did.

I remember back in 1981, when I was 16 years old. Pac-Man showed up in the arcade down the street, and that was "it" for me. I was hooked.

I was okay at the game; I'd get two or three screens in before I was reaching for yet another quarter to feed the machine.

But there was always this one guy that came in and just crushed the game, going screen after screen after screen and notching insanely, untouchably high scores.

I wanted to be "that guy." I had to master and beat what I thought was the coolest game in the world.

I was going to need a lot more quarters - and it would be a few years before I started making money in the markets.

Here's what I did - and why it can help you rack up incredibly high "scores" of your own...

Here's the Secret Sauce That's Helped Deliver 82 Double- and Triple-Digit Winners in 2018

By , Technical Trading Specialist, Money Morning • @DRBarton_Stocks -

We just wrapped up our second Black Diamond Conference, and it was a smash, though it really couldn't have been otherwise.

After all, we had a week of beautiful Southern California weather and all the top-shelf food and drink we could handle. Between the eating and drinking, each day was packed with (extremely profitable) presentations and one-on-one sessions with Rick Rule, Matt Warder, Shah Gilani, Tom Gentile, Chris Johnson, and of course, yours truly.

If you missed it... well, there's nothing we can do about the weather and refreshments, but our video team is hard at work right now putting together a full set of notes, slides, and videos of the presentations: all of our best moneymaking ideas from the conference in one package.

Between you and me, I expect the recordings will be available later today - keep your eyes on your inbox. I'm sure you'll find what's in those recordings to be incredibly helpful - and lucrative - in your own investing. 

And to whet your appetite, I'm going share just a few of my "top-secret" presentation slides that show how and why you'll succeed in bagging big profits...
