Back in the day, getting ready to exit the working world and step into retirement was exciting. But these days, retirement savings – or the lack of – has become extremely stressful over the years.
In fact, it has some Americans not taking retirement at all. Talk about the all American dream, huh?
But the good news is, no matter what age you are – what I’m about to show you can help you retire comfortably and get the life you deserve.
Here’s how you can get your very own “daily deposit” – directly into your retirement account every single week day.
Every morning, Monday through Friday, I fire my computer up at 9:30 AM and get prepared to put my daily deposit into action. It’s simple and all it takes is a few minutes, the internet, and a trading account.
To put it simple, every morning at 9:35, I trade the seven stocks below – and by 4 PM, I’m cashing in on them.
Let me give you the run down…
“Deposit” No. 1
Amazon
I’m guessing you’re familiar with Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN). The one-stop shop for everything has exploded over the last few years. With one-day shipping and one-click access to anything you need – it’s not surprising that Amazon.com (AMZN) has become a household name and just as importantly, a solid investment.
“Deposit” No. 2
Apple
Another stock I bet probably doesn’t need much introduction. Whether you prefer an Android or an iPhone, you know Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is the quintessential must-own tech stock. The stock sees a lot of press as well, and it’s another perfect addition to my core seven stocks.
“Deposit” No. 3
Facebook
21% of all the people on Earth – around 1.62 billion people on average - use the Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) social media platform every day. It’s playing a bigger and bigger role in… well, everything, and it seems like new features are rolled out all the time. Facebook Pay, live streams, a dating platform, cryptocurrency to name just a few. This powerful social media conglomerate continues to impress and that’s why it continues to be part of my core seven.
“Deposit” No. 4
Tesla
Tesla Inc. (NADAQ: TSLA) is on the forefront of the innovation of the automobile industry, not to mention the battery and automation industries. Led by the controversial, but undeniably brilliant Elon Musk, this company is always in the headlines one way or another. I love keeping a close eye on this company and the stock can really deliver some nice profits.
“Deposit” No. 5
Netflix
This streaming giant started the “cut the cord” revolution and has continued to grow since. With over 158 million subscribers and counting, streaming giant Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continues to perform, adding new titles every month, keeping content fresh for its viewers. This growth helps boast profits which is why this streaming mogul resides on my core seven list.
“Deposit” No. 6
Google
Billions of people use Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) subsidiary Google to answer their most burning questions every single day. As the largest search engine in the world, Google handles over two trillion searches per day and that number is predicted to continue to rise. And with this growth, our profits are predicted to grow as well.
“Deposit” No. 7
Alibaba
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) might be the only stock that isn’t a household name – but don’t sell it short – this company is massive; the “Amazon of China.” This multinational e-commerce, retail, Internet, and technology conglomerate has made quite a name for itself over the last few years. And it’s also made quite the name for itself in my portfolio – serving up massive profits.
But I don’t just add these stocks to my trading lineup haphazardly. No, I have a game plan in place and it helps me lock in quick and easy profits. Here’s what I mean…
I like to call it my five-, fifteen-, and thirty-minute bar and it helps decide if any of these seven stocks are poised to profit for the day.
The bars are just what they sound like – at five, 15, and 30 minutes after opening ball, I turn to my screens and open my bar setups.
Let me break it down for you…
There are seven separate graphs, with lines running through each. Those lines are called the Ichimouku cloud. I could write a book on this trading tool, but to keep it short – it’s a Japanese trading tool that allows me to predict if a stock has momentum, as well as how much support is behind it and how much resistance it’s facing. Basically, the Ichimoku Cloud gives you a glimpse into that stock’s future – much like a crystal ball.
And here’s the thing, thanks to 1700 lines of code – I have an algorithm that makes reading the cloud simple and easy.
When I’m looking at my bar setups, regardless if it’s the five-, 15-, or 30-minute bar – I am looking for one thing, a stock pinpointed above the cloud. If it’s above the cloud, it’s a buy. Yeah, it’s really that simple.
Now, I do have one rule of thumb when it comes to my bar setups – “four more and I’m out the door.” It sounds cheesy, I know, but it’s a great reminder for you if you happen to start trading off these bar setups. What I mean by this phrase though is that I’m looking for 1-3 clear setups (stocks sitting above the bar. If I see four or more, I won’t add anything to my portfolio for the day. And that’s because when we see four or more, we could be looking at a market that is gapping up – and a gapping market can cost you big if you play it wrong.
But let’s say there is only 1-3, I’m looking closely to see if any fit my risk portfolio. And if they do, I add them to my lineup. But like I said earlier, this isn’t the old buy and hold you’re used to. I am in these trades in the morning, and out of them before closing bell in the same day – meaning my money isn’t tied up while I cross my fingers hoping to one day see a profit.
I see those “deposits” in less than seven hours. And if there’s no profits to be seen, I get that money back in my pocket and it’s ready to be invested the next day.
And that’s how you can set yourself up for daily “deposits.”
So, kick up your feet and relax – retirement is about to get a lot easier.
