Month: January 2018

You may have heard of this very simple trading mantra: invest in what you know.

In other words, if you use a company’s products, you should consider investing in the company.

Now this may seem logical…

But just because you like a brand doesn’t mean you should dump your money into the stock. And the number one rule when it comes to the stock market is to never put all your eggs into one basket – especially during earnings season.

And with over 100 companies poised to release their fourth-quarter earnings reports in the next few weeks, there’s still plenty of time to profit from these market eruptions.

The key is knowing how to get in two full days ahead of the biggest, most promising, mouth-watering price eruptions that exist… A mind-blowing 733% BIGGER than any “normal” stock move might make.

And now, you can learn exactly how to turn these massive eruptions into $30,000 with just a small stake. Click here to find out how to make that first move right now.

Now let’s talk about a major earnings announcement coming next week…

This week, earnings season finally started in earnest with about 60 S&P 500 companies making their announcements with the results of their 2017 fourth quarters. Many of the companies that are reporting this week are large banks, so you’ll likely be familiar with many of them.

For instance, BB&T Corporation (BBT), M&T Bank Corporation (MTB), and Morgan Stanley (MS) all reported their earnings earlier this morning before the market opened. And all three bested their respective analyst estimates. There were many other financial institutions that also exceeded analyst expectations on Thursday morning – so this is a great sign of economic stability and growth in the market right now. But it’s only one sign…

Coming up on Friday are other institutions you’re likely familiar with such as Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (CFG), SunTrust Banks, Inc. (STI), and Synchrony Financial (SYF), among others. It will be interesting to see how they fare.

As we move forward, stronger economic growth, less government regulations, and quicker lending should favor the banks. But those are all things that we’ve been hearing about for a while now, and none of them have, to this point, come to fruition.

In fact, my colleague and maverick stock market pioneer, Chris Johnson, is an expert when it comes to earnings. 

He’s spent over two decades studying earnings price eruptions, and has invented a way to predict these explosive moves two days ahead of time.

And he’s already killing it on the heels of this earnings season.

Last week, I showed you the two sectors that have made consistent, positive gains between January 1 and January 19.

But while that’s good to know, it’s not everything…

And that’s exactly why I’m going to reveal the two companies that could hand you the most lucrative opportunities this month.

Now let’s get started…

Yesterday marked a six-day winning streak for the three big indices…

The S&P 500 gained almost 1% the first day of trading – its best start since 1987. The NASDAQ gained 1.5% in yesterday’s trading session. And the Dow ran up to new highs in five of the last six trading days – and continues to trade above 25,000.

Quite an impressive move to kick off the year…

The real question now is whether or not this historical bull rally will continue for the rest of the year.

And the answer lies in this this time-tested pattern…

There’s no question about who won 2017. It was cryptocurrencies. But, more specifically, it was Bitcoin, which has absolutely exploded.

In 2017, Bitcoin, the one that started it all, went from less than $1,000 a coin to above $19,000 on the Coinbase exchange. Since then, it has pulled back some, but it’s still well above $16,000.

That high represents a better-than 1900% increase in price.

So other than my mother-in-law and niece and garbage man asking if they should get in, I decided to find out if there a trend in bitcoin that wasn’t there before now that people who aren’t typically traders or investors are interested.

What I found was especially interesting because it reminded me of another kind of currency rush…
