Unsatisfying doesn’t do the 2007 stock market justice. Tumultuous? Convulsive? Neck-breaking? Insane?!
Whatever you want to call it, every last one of us traders has felt more thrills and chills than any of us bargained for. But for us at Trending123, it hasn’t been quite the catastrophic situation — instead it’s been business as usual.
Let me rewind the tape a bit. Back in early March — after the market got clobbered, and many gurus said “head for the hills” — I told my subscribers to trade the upside that was coming.
Later — after a big run-up that many observers seemed to think would go on forever — I said SELL. We closed every trade and banked our profits.
Why?
Because the charts showed a cancer in the market. So we closed over forty trades. (After all, you can never go wrong by putting money in your pockets.)
So what did I do after that? Tell my subscribers to lay still in a fetal position while clinging only to their cash?
Heck no! Using my experience in reading chart patterns (and predicting market trends), I positioned my subscribers in counter-trend stocks. You see, they hold up better when the market drops 200 points — and they zoom ahead three-times as fast when the market recovers. Frankly, owning these stocks allows you to feast on volatility, instead of fearing it.
So am I claiming that my predictions and my trades are flawless?
Of course not. If you ever hear that claim from anyone, at any time, RUN — don’t walk — as fast as you can.
But so far this year, 73.5% of the trades we’ve closed have been winning trades.
Sure, we had a couple of stinkers. On one trade, the charts turned against us fast, and we lost 29%. But most of our losses were in the 1%–9% range.

As I just pointed out, we aren’t above suffering a few losses. (Please point me in the direction of someone who is — I’d love to meet ‘em!) But we’ve had a quite a number of impressive wins along the way too. I’d be remiss not to share those with you:
- Superior Well Services, up 18.10% in 1 week
- Suncor Energy, up 20.51% in 1 month
- Berry Petroleum, up 27.20% in 6 weeks
- Hansen Natural Corp, up 23.95% in 4 days
- Garmin, up 26.31% in 1 month
- Air T, Inc, up 39.33% in 30 days
- Research in Motion, up 21.24% in 2 days
These are typical of the profits you can expect when you try Trending123.
We’ve also had a number of bigger profits like our trade in Phazer Corp — a 79.41% winner, which jumped more than 20% in just one day or Central European Distribution, which we held 3 months for 49.49% profits or Cell Genesys, which jumped 96.72% in 1 week.
But let’s be realistic. Stocks that pop this much this fast are few and far between. So at Trending123 we concentrate on sudden profits — typically stocks that we can get in and out of quickly for 10%–30% gains.

To be honest, I don’t understand people who can advise investors to adhere to the rules of buy-and-hold “investing.” Me? I call that strategy: Buy-and-HOPE!
We don’t “own” stocks at Trending123 — we merely “rent” them.
We ride them for all they’re worth, while the charts are in our favor. But when the charts turn, we get out, profits intact. And if there’s one single rule I live by, it’s this: Profits ain’t profits until you take them.
I cringe when I hear someone bragging about his “paper profits.” A lot of people were doing that back in late 1999, when I was telling my Trending123 members to SELL their stocks.

Fractal Rock
No, fractals aren’t Muppets that live in a cave and have a theme song that hit the British top 40. They’re wave patterns that look the same on a smaller time frame as they do on a larger time frame.
The term “fractal” is derived from the Latin participle fractus, which literally means “broken.” The word “fraction” has the same root—when you break off a piece of something (whether physically or only mentally), you have a fraction of it. And when that piece has the same shape as what it came from, you have a fractal. Take a look at the chart below.
As you can see, the pattern of waves 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 appears both on the larger scale and the smaller one. That’s a perfect example of a fractal. And as it turns out, one of our latest trades, EBAY, is too—the 60-minute chart looks just like the monthly. But it gets even better—it’s been trading below our buy limit of $35. What should you do? Well, if you haven’t already, first you should go buy some eBay stock. Then, you should join me at Trending123 so you don’t miss my next fractal-action update!

We all know what happened next. The market crashed, and everyone holding paper profits got burned.
I don’t want anyone to get thrown off this rollercoaster of a market. And if you’re worried you might be positioned for a fall, then it’s time to switch seats.
Trending123 subscribers will survive this just like we’ve survived every other market tantrum — not a doubt in my mind on that one.
Sincerely,
John Lansing
