Our Sponsor School - Update

If you've been following the Trader's Blog for the last few years, you are probably very familiar with our sponsor school, Stevenson High in Lincolnshire, Illinois. Their Economics Team has been using MarketClub to assist in their research for stock trading competitions. I frequently receive updates from the instructor regarding the students progress, successes and struggles. Please see the message I received yesterday...

Lindsay,

I wanted to give you an update on our latest competition. Well, we are not doing too badly. One of our teams is in 11th place and another is in 22nd place in the Illinois competition. Both teams follow MarketClub religiously and the results are self explanatory.

Now, the 2 other teams refer to MarketClub on occasion but do not follow the signals. These two teams are in the 50-60 placement range. It sure looks like using MarketClub pays.

Additionally, we have been invited to participate in a national competition which began last Monday. It is too early to give you an update but one will be forthcoming soon.

Thanks again for your help.

Sincerely,

*Teacher's name removed for privacy*

Hope you enjoy these updates and we send best wishes to the club for their current stock trading competition.

Best,

Here's one technical formation you shouldn't miss

This particular technical formation has been around for years and continues to produce good profits for traders who can spot it, and better yet, take advantage of it.

In this new short video, I'm going to share the market, the pattern, and a price projection where we think this market is headed based on our Trade Triangle technology.

I hope that this educational video will help you spot this very same technical formation in the future. The video is extremely short and will only take a few minutes of your time, however, the lesson is priceless. Continue reading "Here's one technical formation you shouldn't miss"

The ‘Trader’s Solution’ to Saving Your Retirement

It seems money – or, to be more specific, the record rate at which our government is spending it – is once again the center of national attention. President Obama’s budget plan is making headlines all across the nation – in particular, its lack of attention to the two biggest, government money-eaters by far: Medicare and Social Security.

60% of the budget is already slated to bankroll entitlement programs and it’s estimated that spending will rise 71% for Social Security, 72% for Medicare, and 115% for Medicaid (the third gorilla in the room) over the next ten years.

Let’s face it, the pressure is building. And, if something isn’t done, sooner or later they’re both going to blow. I shudder to think of the disastrous financial straits it will leave many American’s in (The collapse of Fannie and Freddie will pale in comparision…)…
Fortunately, whether you realize it or not, you already know the secret to ensuring that money won’t be an issue in your golden years.
