Apple Joins The DOW And Tesla Has Range Anxiety

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere today is a big day for Apple as the world's most valuable company is officially joining the DOW after the close of business today. Leaving the Dow is poor old AT&T. They are getting booted out in favor of Apple.

I say congratulations to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and I hope that they do very well being a major component in the DOW. The biggest component in this particular index will be Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS). This is the first time that you had an investment bank represents over 7% of the weighted Dow index. So the most watched index in the world should be worth watching again.

The Luck Of The Irish And A Follow-Up To My Weekend Trade

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everybody! I am confident that MarketClub and the Trade Triangle technology can help you discover that Irish pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Today, I'm going to be following up on the weekend trades that I showed you in last Friday's video. If you go back and watch that video, you may want to fast forward through the first four minutes and forty seconds of the video to the part where I picked out stocks for the "52-Week High On A Friday" strategy.

Out of the four stocks I picked, three of them were excellent candidates and one did not make the cut. I will show you why you should not have taken this "52-Week High On A Friday" trade.

Here are the four stocks that I shared with you last Friday: Continue reading "The Luck Of The Irish And A Follow-Up To My Weekend Trade"

The Top Stocks In Each Market Sector

Today I will be examining nine market sectors and looking at the top stocks in each of these sectors. I'll be looking at the consumer, healthcare, energy, financial, technology, industrial, materials and the utility sectors. Each of these sectors has a market leader that's in a strong trend and I'll share those top stocks with you in today's video.

One of the strongest market sectors in the past three months has been healthcare. This sector is up 11.6% and is the leading winner amongst all the sectors. I'll show you the strongest stock in this sector and how it could still go further on the upside. Continue reading "The Top Stocks In Each Market Sector"

The NASDAQ Hits 5,000, What's Next?

It's already March, the first two months of the year have flown by! The NASDAQ traded over 5,000 today for the first time in 16 years and is within striking distance of its all time high of 5,048. The move has been largely fueled by Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL), which now commands an astounding valuation of 750 BILLION Dollars making it the biggest company in the world.

You may remember last Friday, I told you about one of my little rituals. At the end of the month, I look at the monthly charts to see the big trends and percentage changes for the month. I find it helps me see the big picture and the future.

That's what I do with the end of the month, here is what I do at the beginning of the month. I always say to myself "it's going to be a good month." You see, I believe in positive reinforcement and believing you can win in the markets - that is half the game in my mind, the other half is timing.

Last month, I showed you several ways on how to make money and use the Trade Triangles successfully. One way was to use the Trade Triangles to get the company earnings right and earn short-term overnight profits. This strategy has already been successfully used by quite a few members. The other strategy I showed you was the "52-week high on a Friday" rules. I hope that both of these trading strategies will serve you well in the months and years ahead.

Why The Last Trading Day Of February Is That Important

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere! I would like to share with you a little ritual that I go through at the end of every month. This monthly ritual is not a little happy dance I do (although I do a happy dance when it has been a very good month). This monthly ritual is not very technical, it's very visual and one that you can do in a matter of seconds using the MarketClub charts. You will see right away what I am talking about when you watch today's video.

Many traders are superstitious and like routines and little rituals. I first ran into this when I became a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. I used to watch with amusement as certain members of the exchange would have a special way they would enter the trading floor. Whatever their ritual was it had to be the same way every trading day otherwise in their mind it would be a bad trading day. Continue reading "Why The Last Trading Day Of February Is That Important"
