In a recent article, I wrote about a discovery I learned from Dr. Len Zacks, founder of Zacks Investment Research. He is the one who taught me that positive changes in earnings estimates are the single most influential factor affecting stock prices over the near term. Earnings estimates are changed in one of two ways: The company itself comes out prior to or at their earnings announcement and says, “You know what, it looks like the current quarter is going better than we expected. Sales are so good, were going to have to up our estimates for what we will… Read More

In a recent article, I wrote about a discovery I learned from Dr. Len Zacks, founder of Zacks Investment Research.

Earnings estimates are changed in one of two ways: The company itself comes out prior to or at their earnings announcement and says, “You know what, it looks like the current quarter is going better than we expected. Sales are so good, were going to have to up our estimates for what we will achieve by the end of it.” Or an analyst covering the company, presumably with access to current sales and profit figures, makes the same kind of announcement. —Recommended Link— The Market’s Most SECRETIVE Indicator… Pioneered by a Texas investing firm, with a PROVEN million-dollar track record, the little-known “MP Score” is something outsiders rarely hear about-until now… Get started HERE. When this happens, it creates what we can call a “valuation disconnect.” According to the Efficient Market Theory (EMT), the current price always reflects all current information regarding the company’s forward earning prospects. So when new information arises unexpectedly,… Read More

It’s all perfectly legal. Their fortunes have been documented. See for yourself how easy it will be for YOU to start collecting paychecks each and every day… Make no mistake, I remain solidly bullish as the overall picture has not changed much. But the recent market action proves there are cracks in the foundation. A major tenet of technical analysis is that all data is inherently baked into the price, therefore even heretofore unknown bearish information is being reflected in the market action. Regardless of your bias, now is the time to seriously consider taking steps to protect your gains from the possible further downside. #-ad_banner-#Here are three ways to protect your portfolio: 1.

The market’s fear gauge, the VIX Volatility Index, spiked just past 26 to highs not reached since the February correction. Before October, the VIX had not risen above 16 since April and has traded in a tight range for most of the year. While the very definition of volatility is moves to the upside as well as those red-days, the trend is clearly to a lower market. The economy continues on a fairly stable footing but negative forces have taken hold and the market rout is likely… Read More

It’s baaack. Market volatility, that is, and just in time for Halloween. Yes, the recent 8% haircut in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, 12% slide for the Nasdaq, and 16% tumble for the Russell 2000 were a bit unnerving for all of us, especially after a quiet, and relatively bullish summer. With last Wednesday’s 3% to 4% rout capping the pullback, the markets had officially given back all their gains for 2018. —Recommended Link— Nest Egg Cracked?

The market barometer of the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged below its 200-day simple moving average (SMA).

Not only is the 200-day SMA used by leading institutions, but it is also the only technical indicator with academic research indicating its worth. #-ad_banner-#While the 200-day SMA support was violated, the market still needs to trade below the indicator for several sessions before I start questioning my bullish stance.

Some, like Larry from Washington, will bank 6-figures this year. To find out what you’re missing, click here NOW… In the past few weeks, volatility has picked up. Applying technical analysis to the broader stock market, the tenor of trading has shifted. This can be seen in the chart below, which shows the S&P 500 index and its 200-day moving average (MA). The 200-day MA can be used to define the direction of the long-term trend. Notice that the index collapsed in the recent selloff and is now testing the MA. A decisive break below that MA indicates a downtrend in the market, which in this case would most likely lead to a bear market. The reason I believe a breakdown in the S&P 500 will lead to a bear market is because small-cap stocks have already broken down. Small caps are the most speculative group of stocks in the market because they generally have the weakest… Read More
