The Hidden Indicator Every Investor Needs to Know

Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:27 AM PST

To gain any real edge over the stock market, you have to look outside of the box and past the traditional approaches most traders use. 

That's why I want to talk about the hidden indicator that resulted in 2.5 times bigger profits than the S&P 500. 

You see, if everyone uses the same trading tools, then most will have similar results. 

And if you look at the S&P 500 over the past few decades, you'll realize that historical trading methodologies hardly outperform the S&P 500. That's why most fund managers lag behind the S&P 500, which historically only yields about 6% per year. 

The Hidden Indicator That Predicted 2.5 Times the Return of the S&P 500 

You could imagine how excited I was when I first heard about the hidden indicator called "company leadership." 

It's one of the most underrated hidden indicators out there and in reality, it should be in the top 3 essential indicator tools for traders. 

I know what you're all doing right now… You're probably looking at your thinkorswim platform or your TradeStation wondering why you can't find it. 

Well, it's a hidden indicator that's not available on any trading platform. 

Have you ever heard of the site called Glassdoor? It's a site that collects reviews and real salaries from employees to rate their employer, and at the end of each year, the site rates the best places to work in America. 

My favorite part about the hidden indicator is that you're hearing it straight from the horse's mouth instead of some analyst that has never worked or even stepped foot into the business. 

I looked at Glassdoor's 20 best-ranked public companies each year for the past 12 years, and the results were quite interesting. Yes, that's 240 stock picks. 

The top 20 best places to work returned 2.3 times the return of the S&P 500 over the past 12 years. In fact, the top 10 best places to work returned 2.5 times the return of the S&P 500 during the same time period. 

But the best news is that anyone can use the hidden indicator. And in today's video I'll show you how you can start using it right now, along with the current list of top 20 stocks in case you'd like to check them out or find a job at one of them. 

P.S. Did you know that a few dozen stocks have gone up on the same calendar dates every year for over the past decade? 

If you answered "no" to that question, you're not alone!

Very few people have heard about these predictable calendar dates. But by tapping into them, you have the chance to lock in consistent winners all year long — no matter what's going on in the broader markets! 

Legendary trader Tom Busby and I are pulling back the curtain on this proprietary stock "calendar," and we wanted to make sure YOU had the chance to learn more about it.

GameStop Goes Parabolic: How Reddit Traders Squeezed Short Sellers

Posted: 26 Jan 2021 08:39 AM PST

The hottest topic on Wall Street right now is GameStop short selling, and how traders from a popular subreddit sent its shares parabolic. 

Reddit bills itself as the front page of the internet, a network of communities based on people's interests. Just about anything that anyone on the planet is interested in, there's probably a subreddit where you can discuss it with others.

Subreddit r/wallstreetbets has 2.2 million "degenerates" — members — and bills itself as "Like 4chan found a Bloomberg Terminal." And let's just say much of the content there is NSFW (not safe for work). 

The degenerates over at r/wallstreetbets have targeted heavily shorted shares of GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) to make short sellers like Citron pay… And pay dearly they have. 

According to S3 Partners via CNBC, short sellers are down about $91 billion for the month of January. For comparison's sake, short sellers lost $243 billion for all of 2020, a 20% loss. 

So today, I'm going to break down the GameStop short selling craze and explain exactly how it happened. 

The GameStop Short Squeeze Explained

First, let me say GameStop is a pig stock. I call it GameJunk. The reason being is it's a dying business model — it's Blockbuster, it's Sam Goody. Every game I've bought recently was a digital download, meaning no game disc required. And GameStop sells… games on disc, new and used. 

Some consoles nowadays are already shipping without disc drives. Eventually, there will be no discs at all. But GameStop short selling has helped send shares of this dying company parabolic… to the moon! 

On Jan. 12, GME was trading around $20. It doubled to $40 a share by Jan. 21… and then things got really crazy. GME hit $70 the very next day — but it wasn't done yet. 

At one point Monday, the stock hit $160, a record high by a long shot. Yep, GameStop, which is expected to lose money this year, skyrocketed more than 1,100% in a matter of two weeks. And today, the party is still going as it was up another 24% just after the market opened. Heck, even billionaires are getting in on the fun.

So all this action caused a massive gamma squeeze, and GameStop short sellers have gotten absolutely crushed. 

Check out my video and let's go in-depth on GameStop short selling as market momentum narrows. I'll explain exactly how this happens, and how Citron likely wiped 20% off its book… Wrecked by small-time traders on Reddit — a true David vs. Goliath story on Wall Street. 

It's fascinating.

P.S. Champion Trading Strategy: REVEALED!

Last year, 10-time trading champion Chuck Hughes took a $4,600 starter account and turned it into $67,268. 

This same strategy gave Chuck's readers the chance to go 20 years without posting a single down year. 

It was clear to us that Chuck had managed to crack the stock market code — and we wanted to learn his secret. So WealthPress head trader Roger Scott sat down with him for an exclusive interview and asked him to reveal his winning strategy…

And luckily, we got that conversation on tape.

Why Stock Market Momentum Is Narrowing

Posted: 26 Jan 2021 06:48 AM PST

Global stock markets are mixed this morning on concerns that slow COVID-19 vaccine rollouts and new "super strains" could delay economic recoveries around the world. 

Investors are keeping a close eye on rising COVID-19 infections in several countries this week (like China, where it all started) because there's a new variant that seems to be infecting people easier than the first strain. People are worried that current vaccines might not protect against new strains of COVID-19.

That could be a huge problem, folks…

In today's video, I have more on why the stock market is currently fragmented… why momentum is narrowing… why we're seeing a divergence in price action… and a few sectors you might want to avoid right now. 

 

P.S. Folks, the stock market can be unpredictable… especially given today's social and political climate. 

That's why you need a trading strategy that will net you consistent returns year after year — no matter what life throws your way. 

That's where Trophy Trades can help. 

This stress-free trading strategy allows you to capture more of a stock's gains without leaving large profits on the table. And it works even in the most turbulent of markets.

The GameStop Stock Surge: What Does It Mean?

Posted: 25 Jan 2021 01:53 PM PST

The headline to start this week is an apolitical one — the massive, if short lived, move of one of the biggest video game retailers has been the big trend. That's right, today we're going to talk about what led to the GameStop stock surge — and what we can learn from it.

Starting last week, GameStop Corp. (NSYE: GME) began to take off. By midday today, the stock was up over $145 — that's a 238% gain since last Thursday… even though the company is expected to lose money this year and next. 

But that's not the end of GME's wild ride. As I write this, the stock is trading below $62. 

What does it mean?

There's always a lesson to be learned from big moves like this, and the GameStop stock surge is no exception.

A Case of FOMO in the GameStop Stock Surge

Luckily for our WealthPress subscribers, most of our team saw this move coming on the indicators and were able to take advantage of it.

That's not a long-term strategy, however. 

Big parabolic moves like this are great in the short term, but you can't get caught up in your FOMO like so many traders just did.

The GameStop stock surge shows us that the bull market is still going strong. Any stock that people catch wind of has the chance for big gains… for now. We're nearing, and quickly, a blow-off top.

So, play the game that's in front of you. If you can get in on these big overnight stocks early and make some money, go ahead. But don't be left holding the bag when they go down. 

While it can be profitable, that's a hard strategy to keep up in the long-term.

With more earnings reports coming out, we could get a much better picture of what's coming.

So sit down with my fellow trading experts Roger Scott, Adam Sarhan, Jeff Yastine and James West as we analyze the GameStop stock surge and talk about what's to come.

P.S. Did you know that a few dozen stocks have gone up on the same calendar dates every year for over the past decade? 

If you answered "No" to that question, you're not alone!

Very few people have heard about these predictable calendar dates. But by tapping into them, you have the chance to lock in consistent winners all year long — no matter what's going on in the broader markets! 

Legendary traders Roger Scott and Tom Busby are pulling back the curtain on this proprietary stock "calendar," and they wanted to make sure YOU had the chance to learn more about it. 

Here's how you can take advantage of this trading strategy.
