How You Can Profit From Those Annoying Political Campaign Ads
With the Presidential Election just nine months away, now is a good time to start considering how 'you' the average American can benefit from this once every four-year circus event. I recently spoke about how it's likely firearm stocks could see a boost from this event, today I would like to discuss another industry likely to see revenues increase.
But, before we jump into how you can make money this election season, let's take a look at what is making this all possible.
During the 2008 Presidential Election more than $7 billion were spent according to Borrell Associate's estimates. In 2012, election spending was estimated to hit $9.8 billion. But as of now, the 2016 election cycle is expected to see $11.4 billion spent. Now these figures are not just for spending on Presidential campaigns, but all political office's votes will be held for this year.

Reality Comes Back With A Vengeance
The recent rally abruptly came to an end yesterday as the market reversed down from key resistance levels. It takes a lot to reverse a major trend in any market and that's why I have been bearish for quite some time on many of the big stocks. Based on the Trade Triangle technology, I feel that we are going to see continued downward pressure on the markets.
One of the outstanding features of a bear market is that they don't let you out easily. Anyone who bought stocks in the last few days thinking that the market was going to go back up to the highs are now trapped holding losing positions. Continue reading "Reality Comes Back With A Vengeance"
Buy The Sterling On Brexit Fears
Unless you've been incommunicado this past week, you've surely noticed that the FX arena has been dominated by one trade. That, of course, is short Sterling, because Britain appears on the verge of leaving the European Union (EU).
The black swan event that brought about this situation was the surprise announcement by Boris Johnson, the incumbent Mayor of London. Johnson, a rising star of the Tories, is campaigning for Britain to leave the EU. That, of course, was a bit of a game changer. Investors got spooked by the thought of the financial Armageddon that could be visited upon Britain if a Brexit (British Exit) does occur.
Luckily, such panic creates an ideal situation for the rational investor. It's time to exploit and buy the Sterling low and sell it high later on when Brexit fears fade. Continue reading "Buy The Sterling On Brexit Fears"
Sometimes No Position Is The Best Position
What do I mean by that?
To put it simply, sometimes being on the sidelines in a cash position can be beneficial to your portfolio. There are times in the market when trends are very clear, whether it be up or down. At the moment when you look at the DOW Index, the Trade Triangle technology is indicating that you should be on the sidelines as the major trend remains down while the intermediate-term trend is positive. Over at the NASDAQ and the S&P 500, you should still be negative on those indices, providing the 4,636.93 and 1947.20 levels are not breached to the upside.
Today could be a very interesting day, we could see the recent upward momentum reverse back down and witness a pullback in the major indices and many stocks that have recently rallied against their longer-term negative trends.
Here are a few of the stocks I'm covering today. Continue reading "Sometimes No Position Is The Best Position"
