Crude Oil it’s different this time … or is it?

July 21, 2008 · Filed Under General, Trader Lessons, Trading Videos · 10 Comments 

How many times have you heard that it’s going to be different this time?

Do you remember the dot com bust? Well, that was supposed to be different and look what happened.  Same with the housing bubble, that was supposed to be different and look how that’s turning out. Both events created the illusion of madness that made everyone rich on paper for at least 20 seconds.

The  fact is, it’s always different “this time”, that’s what makes it different.

But it’s different this time in crude oil, right?

Okay, I know, I have heard all the reasons why oil is up, we are running out of energy, India and China are buying, the turmoil in the Middle East, etc, etc. Let’s face it the energy market is the market du jour.

But it’s different this time in crude oil, right?

I have to say that it’s always different and at the same time it is always the same, only the names of the players in the markets change. It’s all speculation (ooh, dirty word) but the reality of the situation someone is always left holding the bag.

The irrefutable laws of the market never change:

Check out my new crude oil video after you have read the six steps.

Read on and understand why.

SIX STEPS and the IRREFUTABLE LAWS of the MARKET
What Every Investor and Trader needs to know to Succeed in the Markets.

Step 1: A move begins with the sponsors (smart traders) who have insider knowledge as it relates to a particular stock or market. This information will move a market up or down depending on the insiders’ information. These buyers are smart, very smart, and recognize trading/investment opportunities very early in the markup cycle.

Step 2: Days, weeks, or sometimes months after a move has started, there is a brief mention in the electronic media (radio, cable, TV) or on one of the internet chat boards that a market has moved. The public hears for the first time and begins to get interested, but does not buy.

Step 3: A blurb of information appears in print media. The move also begins getting more exposure on blogs and internet message boards. The public starts paying a little more attention, and will buy a little bit.

Step 4: Wall Street and LaSalle Street brokers go into full hype mode and hawk the market to their customers. The public begins buying in greater volume.

Step 5: A full-blown front-page article appears about the particular stock or market in one of the major financial newspapers, magazines, or financial websites. This is often six months after the fact and after a market has shown its greatest appreciation. There is often heavy public buying, even a possible frenzy, as all media, brokers, and so-called “gurus” start to tout the market.

Step 6: As step 5 gets underway, the sponsors or smart traders begin to move out of the market and take their profits off the table.

The finale Step: The move ends, the market falls, and investors lose money.

Does any of this sound familiar to you? If it does then you know the key rules of engagement in the market. If none of this is familiar to you then learn to recognize these six step asap. Your financial life depends on it!!

Think about it.

Two new videos that make (logical) trading sense

July 18, 2008 · Filed Under General, Trading Tips, Trading Videos · 2 Comments 

What a week!

What volatility!

What should traders do?

Several months ago we sent you an email that correctly forecasted the up move in crude oil and indicated that it could potentially topple world equity markets.

We were right.

So what happens now … is the move in crude over? Is the downward tailspin in equities over or is it just a pause before new lows?

A few days ago, I finished two new trading videos that take a fresh look at crude oil and gold. I believe that these videos offer an unbiased educational view of two markets that are front and center right now.

If you are concerned about what’s going on in the world then you really need to watch these videos. There is no need to register, plus you will learn some valuable trading lessons.

Enjoy the videos.

Is the move in Crude Oil over???

What a difference a day makes. The DOW up 277 points, gold dropping 10 dollars and crude oil under pressure and falling to its lowest levels in three weeks. Amazing.

We have said this before, and we will say it again … Sentiment and Perception rule the markets.

I have prepared a short video on crude oil to show you why we feel it is on the defensive and why we should see some lower to sideways action in the near-term

In the video I will show you precise points where I think crude oil will find natural support before resuming its upward trend.

There is no cost for viewing the video and I think you’ll find it both educational and informative.

Enjoy the video.

Has Gold Topped Out???

Twin Disasters

TWIN DISASTERS

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae

No love for these two stocks.

Even after Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson made a statement ensuring that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would remain as presently constituted to carry out their mission it was not enough to satisfy most investors.

Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac hold about $5 trillion worth of mortgage guarantees in this country, roughly about half of the 9.5 trillion mortgage debt. Their survival is paramount.

The trouble with these two companies is the latest depressing factor in the current credit and confidence crisis that the United States is going through at the present time. This type of negative information is depressing for stocks and weighs on the minds of investors. This type of mindset is similar to the early seventies when we witnessed the last prolonged bear market.

There are no quick fixes to our current set of problems, only trading opportunities.

We live in a capitalist society and these are the cycles that we go through every 30 to 40 years. This is the price we pay for living in a free society.

My new eight minute video shows in detail how easy it is to avoid disaster stocks like Freddie and Fannie. I also show you in very clear terms how to fortress your portfolio to withstand any type of financial tornado that blows through the world economy.

“Saturday Seminars” - Advanced Fibonacci Applications and the Price Axis…

July 12, 2008 · Filed Under Saturday Seminars, Trading Videos · 5 Comments 

Advanced Fibonacci Applications and the Price Axis in the Forex, Stock Index, and Interest Rate Futures.

Joe’s techniques result in significantly higher percentages of winning trades through more accurate stop placement, market entry and profit objective location. Joe’s high-accuracy trading approach depends on the proper mix of both leading (Fibonacci) and lagging indicators.

You will learn where and how to apply Fibonacci analysis. This context determines the real bottom-line difference. Joe devotes a significant part of his lecture to trend analysis and directional techniques using variations of Stochastics, MACD and displaced moving averages. Technical analysis software packages can simulate all of these unique and specific variations through pre-programmed studies or by inserting the formulas Joe provides for you.

Joe will explain the three categories of a winning futures trading plan:

  • Management (Yourself & Your Capital)
  • A Competent Trend & Direction Analysis Tool
  • Proper Applications of Fibonacci Retracement & Objective Analysis

Joe DiNapoli is a veteran trader with over twenty-five years of solid market trading experience. He is also a dogged and thorough researcher, an internationally recognized lecturer, and a widely acclaimed author. Joe’s formal education was in electrical engineering and economics. He received his informal education in “the Bunker,” an aptly named trading room packed full of electronics and communications equipment. This is where most of Joe’s early research began. Joe is one of today’s most sought-after experts for his exhaustive investigations into displaced moving averages, his creation of the proprietary “Oscillator Predictor,” and in particular, his practical and unique method of applying Fibonacci ratios to the price axis. A registered CTA, Joe has taught his techniques in the major financial capitals of Europe and Asia, as well as in the United States. His articles have appeared in a wide variety of technical publications across the nation and worldwide. In 1996 alone, Joe taught capacity audiences in twenty-three financial centers around the globe. Joe was a contributing author to High Performance Futures Trading: Power Lessons From the Masters, selected 1990 book of the year by Super Trader’s Almanac. He also wrote the Fibonacci Money Management and Trend Analysis In-Home Trading Course, which has been lauded by professional and novice traders alike. Joe published his newest and most complete work, DiNapoli Levels, in 1997. The book has been hailed by Futures Truth as “one of the best new technical books to come along in a long time.” When Chuck LeBeau (Technical Traders Bulletin) asked his readers for names of successful traders they wanted to see interviewed, Joe DiNapoli’s name came up more often than any other. The Atlanta Constitution cited Joe’s work by referring to the “magical power” of Fibonacci ratios in the marketplace. Joe has often made use of this magic to make both startling and uncannily accurate market predictions, particularly in stock market indexes and interest rate futures. As the president of Coast Investment Software, Inc., located on Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida, Joe continues to develop and deploy “high accuracy” trading methods, using a combination of leading and lagging indicators in unique and innovative ways. He conducts a limited number of private tutorials each year at his trading room and he also makes his trading approach available to others via software and trading course materials.

Is GOLD the last store of value on the planet?

Hi, Adam Hewison here. I’ve just finished a new movie on gold and I would like to share it with you. This new video shows what may happen to gold in the next one to three months. There’s a lot of potential in this market, but there also is potential risk involved. The good news is that risk can be managed with stops and potential target zones can be measured through chart patterns.

I hope you enjoyed the video I made on 7/09/08 (well before today’s big jump in gold) to illustrate that sometimes the markets tip you off to what they’re going to do next.

With all the financial turmoil in today’s troubled world, it seems like gold may be the only store of value that everyone’s going to turn to in the very near future. Many of the European banks have not fessed up to all of their investing/trading problems and I expect that this could well be the other shoe that falls.

On 7/10/08, our “Trade Triangle” technology signaled a new buy for the spot gold market. Watch the video and I’ll show you exactly how high we think this market could go in the future.

As always, we welcome your comments and thoughts on the markets.

Every success,

“Saturday Seminars” - Researching Your Trade

July 5, 2008 · Filed Under Saturday Seminars, Trading Videos · 3 Comments 

Various technical indicators my be used to complement and refine such strategies. One little-known but exceptionally useful technique is Howe’s Limit Rule, applicable in especially volatile markets where there is so much opportunity - and risk.

Linda believes strongly in market tendency patterns and the predictability of price direction, though not magnitude. Prices tend to form a distinct three-day swing trading pattern, one which consistently repeats itself in tradable fashion.

Linda will discuss why this swing pattern sets up, how to recognize it, the tendencies of the underlying theories, and the philosophy behind trading it. She will then teach a sound method for trading this cyclic phenomenon, one which builds confidence to trade any market on any day.

Finally, Linda will illustrate how, based on these patterns, you can develop mechanical systems that are applicable to various length market periods. This presentation will give you a new perspective on price behavior and chart patterns.

The study of price behavior lends itself to various avenues of research. Can correlation studies project future price movement? What similarities exist in the price behavior of different markets, for instance, futures vs. equities? This workshop is intended to help the intelligent trader make good decisions.

Rashcke explores the importance of how to research your trades through…

  • Historical (Seasonal) Trading
  • Historical Correlation Studies
  • Researching Derivatives

Linda Raschke has been a full-time professional trader for over 20 years. She began her trading career on the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange and later moved to the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. Linda was written up in Jack Schwager’s book, “The New Market Wizards” and in “Women of the Street” by Sue Herera. In 1995, she co-authored the best selling book “Street Smarts - High Probability Short Term Trading Strategies.” Linda continues to trade every day.
