“Follow the Money”

Let’s face it: The market’s performance in June was abysmal. When you see the Dow plunge over 300 points in a day—and then drop another 100 points the next—I know it can be difficult to muster the courage to check your portfolio. I’ve said in past Trade Talk Weekly issues that people hate stocks right now. In fact, people are thinking more about the stocks they should have sold months ago to avoid losses than the stocks they should have bought months ago to cash in.

Even the most adept stock pickers are questioning the effectiveness of their investment strategies. With so many down days in the market, who could blame them? The great thing about our Trending123 strategy, however, is that it already factors in the low days as well as the high!

You’re probably wondering, how can that be? That’s the beauty of technical analysis. You see, by studying charts, patterns and trends, we can methodically gauge the direction a stock is likely to head. In doing so, we identify our entry and exit points in order to capture the lion’s share of the profits!

The nice thing about stocks is that no matter how weak or sluggish the market might be, you can always bank on a breakout performance from at least one or two actors. The key is knowing where to look and securing your position early enough to reap the biggest profits. Usually the best performances come from companies that fall under the radar on any given up-market day, but when the spotlight zeroes in they explode!

Consider this a moment: In the past 30 days, the Dow has surrendered 1,280 points. That’s a 9.2% loss! One of our Trending123 stocks, however, actually gained 6.5%. Talk about a standout performance—this stock and the market are headed in opposite directions!

Luckily, at Trending123 we identified this company early on and were able to buy shares at a low entry price. When we take into account the massive demand for this company’s products and its forecasted 35% increase in 2008 revenue over last year, I expect this stock to double our money in the next six months.

That’s a big claim, one I wouldn’t be making if I didn’t have the utmost faith in the Trending123 stock-picking strategy.This stock is receiving more buying pressure than 97% of all stocks currently trading on the NASDAQ! Investors just can’t seem to get enough of it, which is why the stock’s share volume spiked to 15.7 million on Friday, up from 1.7 million, sending its price to a new all-time high!

This company is currently in the sweet spot of all sweet spots, which is why I’ve selected it for my portfolio. Our goal at Trending123 is to show you where the money’s going and how to follow it. Investors today aren’t jumping into stocks for the long haul. Right now they’re looking to get in on, say, the earnings run-up. And I’m here to tell you how to best position yourself to profit from these trends.

Professional rodeo star Larry Mahan said, “The key to riding the bull is that, before the gate is open, you need to be positioned properly on the bull. … If you lean too far back, the bull has a tendency to throw you forward over its head.”

Get positioned properly now. The market’s volatility has a tendency to throw many investors off the saddle. Join me and my Trending123subscribers and ride these bumpy trends all the way to the top!

Sincerely,

Signed

Double or Nothing

On June 27, one of our stocks broke out of an ascending triangle pattern. Generally, this pattern occurs because a stock’s low prices are moving increasingly higher, and the highs are maintaining a constant price level. The highs represent a strong resistance level and when that resistance is broken, the stock will likely rise to the next price target level.

When a stock’s trading volume significantly increases, it indicates that a breakout is pending. Our stock broke out of its triangle pattern on a volume of 15.7 million shares compared to its average share volume of 1.7 million. Given the massive volume swing, we can safely assume that the breakout wasn’t a mere blip on the radar but a valid move higher and that we’re headed to target.

This particular stock has a beta over 2 (beta indicates the volatility of a stock in relation to its index) which means we’re in for an exciting ride! As this stock heads to our new target, you should expect big swings. This stock is not for the faint of heart! But if you’re willing to grin and bear the stomach churning ride, I expect to double our money in the next six months. Join today!

Buying Pressure

Let’s talk buying pressure.

A simple definition of buying pressure is: A constant, on-going increase in demand for the shares of a particular stock. This means that, day after day, more people are buying the stock than they did the day before and the week before. When buying pressure kicks in, the demand for shares begins to exceed the supply, naturally causing price to rise. As the stock price trends upwards, gaining bullish momentum…that’s when our profits really take off!

Consider the stock we’ve been hinting at all day—it’s currently receiving more buying pressure than 97% of all stocks currently trading on the NASDAQ!

How does this tie into our strategy? Buying pressure indicates how badly investors want to get their hands on a specific stock. Here at Trending123, we try to identify the stocks before the pressure grows too intense. That way we buy it cheaply and sell it for tremendous profit! (Remember: Buy low, sell high!)
