How to Perform Serious Sector Analysis Using ETFs

In today's video, I'll be examining nine different sectors of the economy and analyzing their trends using SPDR ETFs. Out of the nine different sectors, I'll be looking at three of these sectors with strong uptrends, while the remaining six sectors are in a transition stage.

I will, of course, be applying the Trade Triangle technology to each of these nine sectors so you can clearly see how to put each of these sectors to work you.

Creating an ETF sector portfolio is easy and is not as difficult as you may imagine. The first thing you need to do is create a separate portfolio in your Portfolio Manager and enter these nine ETF symbols. Continue reading "How to Perform Serious Sector Analysis Using ETFs"

The Next Bombshell To Hit The Markets ... Greece

The big news of this past week has to be the Swiss National Bank (SNB) parting ways with the euro. Make no mistake about it, this was a game changer and the ramifications of SNB's actions will be felt for a long time to come.

The next big game changer will be Greece exiting out of the Euro and going back to its old currency the Greek drachma. It may not happen next week, or next month, but it will happen.

On to the markets - it has been quite a week for the indices, with the DOW, S&P 500 and NASDAQ all down over 2%. The strong downtrend in crude oil was unabated, with crude closing down the week with a loss of 3%. The only two positives of the week, are the dollar index, which closed the week with a gain of 0.7% and gold which climbed to its best levels in over four months with a gain of 3.16% for the week.

3 Stocks That Deserve Your Immediate Attention

One of the tools I really like about MarketClub is the Trade Triangle technology. Yesterday, the Trade Triangles alerted me to three potential stocks that could become big winners in the near term. Each of these three stocks flashed major buy signals on Monday, based on the monthly Trade Triangle indicator.

What is also interesting, is the fact that each of these three stocks are coming from powerful chart formations. The technical picture augers very well for these stocks to continue their upward trend.

In today's short video, I'll focus on each of these stocks and show you what the potential is on the upside. I'll also share with you the risk to the downside.

Always remember, there are no guarantees in trading. I'm sure you know that by now. If you don't, consider yourself educated with the truth.

As always I appreciate your feedback and comments below every blog posting. You can agree or disagree with my findings, but do share with us your reasons why.

Every success with MarketClub,

Triple Digit Returns In 2014 For The World Cup Portfolio

MarketClub's model portfolio section showcases three portfolios using MarketClub's strategies that you can follow and see how well they are doing. We provide you with all the entry and exit points for each market in each portfolio so there is nothing to second guess.

World Cup Portfolio

The final results are in and once again the World Cup portfolio (WCP) knocked it out of the park with triple digit returns. This is the third time in 7 years that this portfolio has chalked up some of the best returns in the investment world. We have continually published the daily signals and the results for this portfolio since 2007, so this year's results are no fluke.

The big winner in 2014 was, of course, being short crude oil. This strategy produced spectacular results and was responsible for almost half of our profits for the entire portfolio. With gains of $38,130, representing a 76% return on total invested capital, this commodity was a standout, just trading one contract of crude oil. Next up was gold, which was responsible for producing a return of $7,793, equaling a 15.5% return on invested capital.

WCP Cumulative 2007 thru 2014

Total capital needed to trade the World Cup portfolio is $50,000. (Remember, we are not brokers nor do we manage money.)

Every single market showed a profit in 2014, however, not every single market showed a profit in every quarter. This is why it is so important to be diversified as it lowers your risk profile while raising you profit profile.

Here is the quarterly market breakdown per share: Continue reading "Triple Digit Returns In 2014 For The World Cup Portfolio"

5 Weekend Trading Opportunities

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere! Well, here we are, a week before Christmas, and the markets have just been going crazy as we can all see. With that in mind, I want to bring to your attention five trending stocks that just had their weekly Trade Triangles kick in strengthening their longer-term bull trend.

I'll also be looking at five weekend trading opportunities. That's when I look at stocks that are making 52-week highs on Friday and hold them over the weekend and sell them on the opening of the market Tuesday morning. Now there are caveats with this type of trading, the first one is the stock must close at or close to its weekly highs. The stock cannot make a high for the day and then close at its low at closing time that would disqualify it as a weekend candidate.

I am not a big fan of trading this late in the year due to high volatility and low volume. However, if you feel compelled to trade, the trades in today's video are the trades that I like.

2014 has been a wonderful year with lots of trading opportunities; I don't want to see anyone blow up on the last two weeks of the year.

Traders! Don't miss out on MarketClub's Special Holiday Promotion! Try the tools for 30 days for only $8.95, then take advantage of a Special Holiday Rate for 90 additional days of access (Save 40%!).

Let's go to the video and check out those 5 trending stocks that I see as 5 potential weekend trading opportunities.

Have a great weekend everyone.
