"Up, Down and All Around"

Stocks are continuing their dance to the tune of up, down and all around. Halfway through yesterday's session, Wall Street pulled back, losing most of Monday's covered ground. Investors can't seem to make up their minds. One minute, they're buying up a storm and the next they're fleeing the scene.

But my Trending123 subscribers know how to stand their ground. While some investors are caught up in what they deem a directionless market riddled with uncertainty, my subscribers are pushing ahead full force, reaping generous profits along the way.

Should we be concerned that energy and food prices are on the rise? Should we be concerned that consumer spending has hit a downtrend? Absolutely! These are all reasonable concerns, BUT! My Trending123 subscribers know full well that we can handsomely profit from these trends!

How? By ignoring the bad-news headlines coming out of Wall Street, for one. We can't fret every negative headline. Instead, we here at Trending123 base our investment decisions on information derived from complex mathematical analysis designed to sharply limit risk and assign probabilities as to whether a stock will go up or down. We study charts and observe trends…

Last week, for example, I made a buy recommendation to my Trending123 subscribers about a medical appliances and equipment sector stock that had formed an ascending triangle pattern after two years of consolidation. As my subscribers know, in order to figure out how far the stock will break out and gauge the price target, we must measure the width of the geometrical shape. For this particular stock, my educated guess is that once it breaks out, it'll pretty much double from its break-out level.

Our methods of technical analysis also help us to identify which of our stocks are likely to be the most EXPLOSIVE in the week ahead! Here at Trending123, we own a lot of stocks that are currently in parabolic uptrends and have had a nice consolidation pullback off their recent highs. Research in Motion (RIMM), for example, is already breaking out of a bull flag pattern, which is really great for fast money trades. Likewise, Baidu (BIDU) is on the brink of breaking out from its ascending triangle pattern.

What does all of this mean? For my Trending123 subscribers, it means EXPLOSIVE profits are on our horizon!

Don't miss out on the chance to reap sudden profits from sector moves that most investors never see coming.

1-2-3 Bullish Trend Reversal

It's easy to see trends once they're over, but the only way you can profit is to identify the direction of a trend before it has run its course. That's why I look for what I call 1-2-3 Bullish Trend Reversals.

As the name implies, a bullish trend reversal signals the beginning of an uptrend. The rule of thumb is to go long on a bullish uptrend. But how can you tell when it happens? Actually, it's simple. You know you're looking at a 1-2-3 Bullish Trend Reversal when:

1. The Aroon (up) line is moving higher and crosses the Aroon(down) line moving lower.
2. The Williams % rises above the -50% line.
3. The PPO rises above the zero line—or in other words, turns positive.

Your first investment: a 79¢ Notebook

Remember that a good trader is disciplined and always plans a trade. A failure to plan is a plan for failure! Ask yourself these simple questions:

• Why did you buy a stock?

• Did you have any issues with holding the stock as you waited for it to reach price target?

• Why did you exit the stock?

• Did you make a profit or a loss?

These simple notes will help you identify your trading strengths and weaknesses.

Avoid Novice Trading Mistakes

We all make mistakes—it's just a fact of life. Now, learning from those mistakes is another story entirely. Some of us—for some reason—refuse to learn. But those of us who are hell-bent on improving ourselves or our situation know that it is imperative to change our ways.

Of course, this absolutely applies to the way we approach trading stocks! No one, including myself, has done everything right in this market. We have all made mistakes. But there are a few (actually, about ten) that we should commit to memory—and avoid falling victim to.

Learn the top 10 stock trading mistakes to avoid. (You could save your money and your sanity by committing these "no-no's" to memory and sticking to them!)
