Today we are looking at Apple (NASDAQ_AAPL) and Amazon (NASDAQ_AMZN). We are looking at both of these markets before their earnings are released after the bell today. We will be carefully analyzing each stock and coming up with the real conclusion that we believe makes sense.
We are using MarketClub's “Trade Triangle” technology, which has been found to be a superior tool for most traders. In this short video you will see how we analyze each stock and how you can do the same thing using these tools.
Nobody knows at this point what the earnings are going to be for either of these companies. It should be an interesting experiment for our “Trade Triangle” technology. Having said that, nothing is ever 100% accurate in trading stocks. However, if you're 80% right or even 70% right you can still do very well trading in stocks, futures, mutual funds, precious metals and the foreign exchange markets.
MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology provides an elegant solution that has a history of being on the right side of the market.
