The S&P 500 went south and we cashed in our chips

Down  ChartFor some time now we have been concerned about the lack of upside momentum and the divergences that have been building in many key oscillators. We were also concerned that we'd reached a very important Fibonacci level which we pointed out in a recent video.

It never ceases to amaze me how these levels have worked both in the past and in the present. If you're serious about the markets, you must pay attention to these key levels as many professional traders do, and perhaps you will understand why.

In today's short video, we're looking at the S&P 500 and some of the downside targets we have scoped out using a very simple tool. We had a nice run on the upside based on our "Trade Triangle" technology and we are happy to cash in our chips and watch from the sidelines for the time being.

Penny stocks have long carried the mantra of the ugly step child when it comes to trading stocks on Wall Street, mostly because of the shenanigans prevalent in the OTC/BB market. However, traders that turn a blind eye towards small cap penny stocks are missing out on a great profit-generating sector of the market, a segment of the market that tends to outperform its large cap brethren in the early stages of an economic recovery, much like the one we are in the midst of right now.

Do you own a piece of the big Apple?

It's no secret around the Trader's Blog that we love Apple, but we can't help but wonder if our readers do too. Not only are we curious if you share our affinity for the stock with a fruit moniker, but we're also inviting you to join us on Facebook and win a chunk of the big Apple for yourself.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple sold it's one millionth iPad on Friday and we sent our own social media director, Susannah, down to the Apple store to get a piece of the action to give to one of our fans.

While you're here, let us know what you think of Apple, and then head over to Facebook to become a fan, and possibly a new iPad owner.

Forex Fundamentals: The Other Side Of The Coin

Many of you know from reading the Trader's Blog that we often talk about, and advocate, technical trading. Today's guest blogger, Georgia Anderson of GAFNN.com, also looks at "the other side of the coin," fundamental analysis, but she uses it in a way that is almost technical.

In this post, Georgia is going to give us her perspective on forex and fundamental analysis by way of an input-output matrix.

Technical analysis or predicting the market by looking through the previous history a currency pair is a very useful and indispensable tool that every forex trader uses, however, fundamental analysis, like its name suggests, is more fundamental in nature, and tries to see what drives the forex market in the first place.

There are thousands of market drivers that move and influence the forex market and this fundamental data can be used in a very technical way. One way to take care of these is through the approach of an input-output matrix. This matrix contains information about the factor and its influence. In simple terms, the cause and effect due to one particular factor is captured as numbers in a matrix. By doing this for all the important factors, one can get an input-output matrix that well describes the future potential market movements.
