			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The market continues to post impressive gains of late, which has made for some nice day trading opportunities.   Just looking at the chat boards, it&#8217;s my guess that John Q. Public has sat this one out, though.  </p>
<p>And that would be typical.</p>
<p>Individual investors tend to exit the market during a prolonged downturn toward the end of the cycle, especially the one last year.  That is baffling to me, too.  Once you have lost 50% of your money, really, what do you have to lose?  Selling only locks in the loss.  But that is a typical investing pattern when small investors are run out of the market, and, they fail to jump in when the market trends upward.  </p>
<p>If I were a long term investor, this market is a little scary, and Nouriel Roubini is once again issuing warnings about our economy.</p>
<p>The latest run up has made me grateful I am a day trader and scalper, because being in this market more than 15 minutes just plain scares me.  The government has, as usual, pursued a policy of accommodation for the big investment banks, including giving them all billions of dollars to stay afloat.  Whenever Wall Street bankers get their firms in trouble, be it junk bonds, credit default swaps, the leaders of our country are quick to dole out cash to bail them out.  It&#8217;s always been that way, and keeping the Fed Funds interest rate at zero has been a boon to the investment banks community.  I would also note that it has done absolutely nothing for Main Street citizens of our country.</p>
<p>Okay, I&#8217;ll get off the soap box.  Here is the problem, though&#8230;</p>
<p>The market has gone up 50%+ since March, and the primary reason for this run up has been a policy of economic accommodation for Wall Street.  I see nothing in the economy that is noticeably better since the most recent recession started.  Unemployment is at an all time high, foreclosure rates continue to sky-rocket and the consumer has, by most measures, kept his credit card in his/her wallet.</p>
<p>The stock market, though, has continued it&#8217;s climb while Main Street suffers through the doldrums of the recession.  Now you could argue that the market is pre-cursor of better times, that the market is a leading indicator, so to speak.  Then again, you can also make a cogent argument that this run up is nothing more than a bubble of artificial origin.  Unfortunately, Nouriel Roubini has made the latter argument, and he had a handle on the original problems last year.  I hope he is wrong.</p>
<p>I would feel much better, though, if our government gave up it&#8217;s love affair with the banking community and investment bankers in general.  These buffoons have a penchant for loading risk on their dinner plate and then come asking for an antacid when they get a stomach ache.  If, or when this market collapses, at least the smaller investor won&#8217;t be effected so directly.  There is some comfort in that.</p>
<p>I would point out that collapse is not imminent, but at some juncture the disconnect between Wall Street and Main St. will bear noxious fruit.    </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Research In Motion Ltd. (RIMM) will spend up to $1.2 billion to buy back about 21 million of its shares, or 3.6% of its total shares outstanding. The buyback will start Nov. 9 and last for up to one year.”</p>
<p>That was the headline news today on Research in Motion symbol RIMM so I decided to look at the chart to see what was going on in the “real world”. When I got to the chart, one thing immediately jumped out at me and that was the negative action that this market has shown in the past several weeks. Looking at this market a little closer I was able to see that our “Trade Triangle” technology was 100% negative and that our monthly “Trade Triangle” indicator had turned negative on October 28th at $63.38. This is a major negative in my mind for this market.</p>
<p>In this short video I show you exactly what we expect to see for RIMM in the future. I also share with you some downside targets that we are looking at which may surprise you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been involved in the securities business for my entire adult life, having been a trader at both the retail and institutional level. Trading stocks, or forex pairs is a wonderful way to stack up money, if you have the experience and knowledge to trade successfully.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, that learning curve can be a steep one, and expensive. With that in mind, <a href="http://5439ai6wob1udqadpr0fmq9m4p.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">I looked over a program to trade equities that is specifically designed for beginners</a>. As you may know, most stock indexes are composites of a basket of equities trading on either the NYSE or the NASDAQ exchanges. These indexes are traded in a variety of methods ranging from Options to Futures Contracts, and usually originate on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the CBOT. The nice thing about stock indexes is there is great transparency in trading these issues. The markets are well regulated, liquid, and orderly.</p>
<p>Many novice traders purchase trading robots or exotic trading systems that may cost as much as $10,000 a year, and might gave limited success. I do not recommend purchasing bots or high priced systems to start. I also recommend that all traders “paper trade” on demo account until they are proficient in a single market. I do not recommend trying to trade multiple markets in the learning stage of trading, as each market has a distinct personality and demeanor. Learn to trade one market proficiently, then you might choose to move on to others. Several trade set-ups repeat themselves on a regular basis in the market. This can be attributed, theoretically, to a number of factors.</p>
<p>1. Technical traders trade in tight parameters and use similar indicators. Thus, support and resistance may become self-fulfilling trading patterns.</p>
<p>2. Some behavior economists believe the human response to a given set of trading stimulus is a constant, thus the repetitive set ups for profit.</p>
<p>3. Wave theorists believe the market moves in distinct and predictable patterns based upon the actual chart formations. Whatever the reason, if a novice could learn just one of these consistently profitable trade set-ups, he could be quite adept at trading the markets.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">German trader <a href="http://5439ai6wob1udqadpr0fmq9m4p.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">Karl Dittman</a> has identified one of these patterns with great success and accuracy and has published his work and received a very receptive response, from experienced and inexperienced traders alike. His book, <a href="http://5439ai6wob1udqadpr0fmq9m4p.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">Stock Index Secret Trade</a> would allow the greenest trader to be very profitable over a long period of time. The single trade he uses, is very easy to spot, often overlooked, and is consistent winner. Any novice would profit greatly using this simple but effective system</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is compelling evidence that we may have seen a top in the S&amp;P index. In this new short video, I show you the evidence that I have found which may point to the fact that we are going to see a correction in this index.</p>
<p>While the S&amp;P index needs to put in more work to create a major top, there are early signs that this may be happening. I think when you watch this video you will come to the same conclusion as I did in regards to this market.</p>

<p>There is a saying which has been attributed to a fictional Chinese storyteller named Kai Lung and it goes like this, “May you live in interesting times”.</p>
<p>Well my friends, we do live in interesting times, very interesting times. With China holding the largest share of US debt, inflation just around the corner, and no light at the end of the tunnel for the unemployed &#8211; these are interesting times.</p>
<p>So what’s going to be the best plan of action for your money in the next three years? Is the value of your portfolio going to be cut in half, or is it going to double? I have my game plan in place, do you have yours?</p>
<p>Introducing “The Perfect Portfolio”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ino.com/info/463/CD3257/&#038;dp=0&#038;l=0&#038;campaignid=12">Click here for access to The Perfect Portfolio</a> </p>
<p>I’ve given a lot of thought as to what’s going to happen in the next three years. Specifically, what I am going to do with my own portfolio and my own money. I have scoped out several markets that I think are going to offer excellent opportunities, no matter what happens to the economy. Yes, you heard me right. No matter what happens to the economy, I believe that this “Perfect Portfolio” will work for you in the next 36 months whether you have 10,000 or 10,000,000 million dollars.</p>
<p>In this video I show you exactly the number of trades you would’ve made with the “Perfect Portfolio”.</p>
<p>We back tested the portfolio using our “Trade Triangle” technology for 42 months through some of the toughest, most difficult markets the world has ever seen. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the results of these two portfolios.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ino.com/info/463/CD3257/&#038;dp=0&#038;l=0&#038;campaignid=12">Click here for access to The Perfect Portfolio</a><br />
——————————————————————————————————–<br />
——————————————————————————————————–<br />
If you are making more than 6% a month in your portfolio, you don’t need “The Perfect Portfolio”.<br />
——————————————————————————————————–<br />
“The Perfect Portfolio”.</p>
<p>Is there such a thing as a perfect portfolio? Maybe or maybe not, but there are certain times, and this is one those times, that it is practically a no brainer in how to make money in the market. That is why we call this approach “The Perfect Portfolio”.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if you have $10,000 or $10,000,000. It’s all percentages and this approach has averaged 6% a month over the last 42 months in some of the toughest economic time on record.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ino.com/info/463/CD3257/&#038;dp=0&#038;l=0&#038;campaignid=12">Click here for access to The Perfect Portfolio</a> </p>
<p>Right about now you might be saying to yourself, “Man this has got to be super risky and they must be swinging for the fences or using some highly speculative option plays, or worse yet, futures.” It is none of these. In fact, the approach downright conservative and in some cases only makes 1 trade a year. Now I understand that this is not going to make your broker happy, but whose money is it anyway?!</p>
<p>Okay, let’s get started. This is a two part video and I promise I will show you how these gains were generated and how you can easily replicate this approach. No one can guarantee 6 percent per month returns, but what I can guarantee is that this approach is proactive. There are very few trades and it works!</p>

<p>You are going to be shocked and quite frankly disbelieving that anything this simple can work. Then you’ll say to yourself, “Hey, I can do that!”</p>

<h1>The &#8220;Real&#8221; Economy Is Dying: Q4 &#8220;Going to Be a Bloodbath,&#8221; Whalen Says</h1>

<div>Stocks rallied to start the week thanks to a better-than-expected ISM services sector report and a <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/story/10607136/1/goldman-gets-bullish-on-big-banks.html?cm_ven=YAHOO&amp;cm_cat=FREE&amp;cm_ite=NA">Goldman Sachs upgrade</a> of big banks, including Wells Fargo, Comerica and Capital One.But all is not right in either the economy or the banking sector, according to Christopher Whalen, managing director at <a href="http://us1.institutionalriskanalytics.com/www/index.asp">Institutional Risk Analytics</a>. In fact, Whalen says most observers are drawing the wrong economic conclusions from the stock market&#8217;s robust rally.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why is liquidity going into the financial sector? It&#8217;s because the real economy is dying [and] everyone is fleeing into the stocks and bonds because they&#8217;re liquid at the moment,&#8221; Whalen says. &#8220;That&#8217;s not a good sign.&#8221;</p>
<p>The banking sector&#8217;s assets shrunk by about $300 billion per quarter in the first half of 2009, a sign of banks hoarding cash in anticipation of additional future losses, according to Whalen. &#8220;The real economy is shrinking because of a lack of credit.&#8221;</p>
<p>The shrinkage will continue into 2010, Whalen predicts, suggesting the banking sector hasn&#8217;t yet seen the peak in loan losses. Institutional Risk Analytics forecasts the FDIC will ultimately need $300 billion to $400 billion to recoup losses to its bank insurance fund. (In other words, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-fdic30-2009sep30,0,3324879.story?track=rss">the $45 billion the FDIC sought to raise</a> last week by asking banks to prepay fees is just a drop in the bucket.)</p>
<p>&#8220;Investors should think about this because the fourth quarter in the banking industry is going to be a bloodbath,&#8221; says Whalen, who believes smaller and regional banks like Hudson City Bancorp may come into favor vs. larger peers, which have dramatically outperformed since the March lows.</p>
<p>&#8220;When you see the markets rallying when the real economy is shrinking that tells you this [recovery] is not going to be very enduring,&#8221; Whalen says.</p>
<p>In this regard, Whalen finds himself in philosophical agreement with <a href="http://bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&amp;sid=aBSFMAyyENko">Nouriel Roubini, George Soros</a> and <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704471504574445470989162030.html">Meredith Whitney</a>, among other &#8220;prophets of the apocalypse&#8221; who&#8217;ve once again been raising red flags in recent days.</div>
