Is Exxon Mobil Gearing up to Become the #1 Energy Stock?

The American shale industry is a testament to the inventive spirit of grassroots capitalist enterprise. This sector was revolutionized by innovative frackers, who introduced groundbreaking methods of horizontal drilling and oil extraction from rock formations.

However, not all major oil companies rushed to capitalize on the shale boom with the same zeal. Global oil giant Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) cautiously approached the rich shale territory, such as the Permian basin, due to the reckless expansionism of the wildcatters, consequently burning billions of investors' funds....Continue Reading Here.

The Real Estate Bubble: From A Technical Analysis Point Of View

My focus usually lies with stock indexes, sectors, and commodities, but today, we venture into the real estate market. Real estate is a market that many people don’t fully comprehend. Many are excited by the robust housing market, believing it’s never been a better time to buy. But the reality is, I believe we’re in a phase that isn’t ideal for such investments.

Taking a leaf from Stan Weinstein’s book, he proposed that the market has four stages: Stage 1, where active investment capital isn’t advisable due to the choppy, flatlining market; Stage 2, the bull market phase; Stage 3, a volatile phase where struggle reigns; and Stage 4, a phase marked by a massive decline. Stages 2 & 4 are usually an easy time for investors to make money. 

But in Stages 1 & 3, it becomes harder to grow your capital and much easier to lose a hefty portion. This is the crucial time to preserve and protect your wealth for reinvestment when conditions improve.


This analysis works for both real estate....Continue Reading Here

Should You Hedge Your Investments In Case The U.S. Defaults On Its Debt?

Get ready for a stellar interview as Chris Vermeulen gets down to business with David Lin on his new channel, The David Lin Report! Watch Today's Free Video Here

Six Key Topics Covered:

What is the stock market waiting for before finally picking a direction? Will the consolidation move to the upside? What is a short squeeze? Do news based events, such as the possibility of a US Debt Default, factor into your trades? Will a black swan event happen?

Is there a way to hedge against a potential U.S. Debt default, and is this a viable plan? How should investors work to protect their capital? Is cash a good position to take during market volatility?

At what point in Chris’ career did he settle on the style of trading he believes in and practices now? What other strategies or trading styles did he try, and what happened? When risk management is the main priority (protecting capital), and the stock market outperforms, will Chris change his strategy?

What is the price chart of bonds indicating may happen? Is it possible that they can break down as fast as they recently climbed? If people are moving out of traditional safe havens like bonds, where are they investing?

The disconnect between gold and gold miners persists. Why is this? Will it take a financial reset to align precious metals and miners again?

Do you share personal anecdotes do you share in your newly published books Asset Revesting or the Second Edition of Technical Trading Mastery? And what is Asset Revesting?

Missing The Biggest Stock Market Rallies

Missing The Biggest Stock Market Rallies....Are They Worth The Agony For The Buy and Hold Investor?

I have read so many articles recently from the investment industry and the so called financial professionals about what happens to your investment account value if you don’t follow the buy and hold method.

What I have learned is just how good some professionals are at making people see precisely what they want them to through the use of misleading titles, graphs, and averages. The findings extrapolated from the presented scenarios can be downright unethical when you dig just beneath the surface.

Has A New Super Cycle For Gold Already Begun?

Chris sits down with Craig Hemke of Sprott Money to talk about where the markets were and where they may be going next. Through the lens of technical analysis, Chris & Craig discuss the answers to the following questions:

Is there a potential triple top coming for Gold? 

Will a pause and pivot from the Fed, the ongoing regional banking crisis, a massive yield curve inversion, and/or other news based moves have any effect on this?

With the size of the Gold pattern, what chart is better to glean information from – daily, weekly, or monthly?

Though lagging behind gold, Silver is starting a short term move up. Is now the time when it will begin to catch up?

Typically miners outperform precious metals, but right now, they are way off the highs. What does this mean for the upside potential of metals?

The financial/banking sector continues to be under pressure. What will happen if the lows of 2020 are broken?

Are dividends worth holding onto an asset that is falling in value?

What Influence Does The Market Actually Have On Gold And Silver Prices?

Chris sits down with Craig Hemke of Sprott Money to talk about where the markets were and where they may be going next. Through the lens of technical analysis, Chris & Craig discuss the answers to the following questions:

* Will the gold and silver miners continue to test the 5 DMA and
   keep to their strong uptrend? And for how long?

* The daily chart of the QQQ shows that after the SVB collapse and subsequent bailout, the tech sector
   ripped to the upside. So why is the Russell 2000 going in the opposite direction? What is the disconnect?

* What are indicators, for example, Fibonacci extensions, candles & wicks, cups & handles, etc., showing
   may happen to the markets overall and to individual sectors?

* Why are metals and miners still heading in the opposite direction? Does this have any correlation to what
   is happening in the banking sector?

* What are the upside projections for gold and silver?

* And finally, at the end of the day, which do you think will ultimately produce a bigger return – high risk &
   high reward OR low risk & medium reward?

Applying Trend Momentum and Panic Buying & Selling Indicators to the S&P 500 $SPY

Quite often we are asked about two of the indicators we use in my pre-market report videos. One is proprietary, and one is not. The proprietary trend momentum indicator runs on the 30 minute chart of regular trading hours only. For those of you who don’t know, that’ll be the green, red, and orange bar chart on the left side of the video screen. 

This indicator helps to filter out the noise of futures or after hours trading and allows me to more accurately gauge the direction the market may go next. For example, if an overbought zone (shaded red bars) appears, it can be a hint that the market is about to change directions....Continue Reading Here.

Gold’s Momentum and Underperforming Gold Miners – Is A Breakout Rally Imminent?

In the video, we discuss the recent momentum in gold prices and the underperformance of gold miners. Gold is trading near its highs, while gold miners are still down by around 30%. 

The mismatch in performance between gold and gold miners raises concerns and suggests caution, as it may indicate a temporary rise in gold prices. Gold miners may not catch up with gold prices until the stock market experiences a sustained rally. 

The current situation in the gold market remains convoluted and confusing, and the next major super cycle rally may not happen until later this year or next year….Watch Here.

Is The Stock Market Setting Up For A 2008 Style Crater?

Which way is the market going to go? The technicals on the SP500 show a weakening trend that, should it break through the channel support, could begin a serious leg to the downside. Having said that, the market is also testing the 200 day moving average, and if it finds support, could actually swing to the upside....Watch Today's Free Video Here.

Metals and Market Teetering On The Brink Of A Big Move

Chris sits down with Craig Hemke of Sprott Money to talk about how much longer the stage three complacency phase for stocks may last. The previous two stage four declines were in 2001 and 2008. Being that we have now gone 14 years since the last major correction, now may just be the time to shift focus from pulling in huge returns to protecting the capital we already have....Watch The Free Video Here.

Pilots, Professionals, and Entrepreneurs Should Reduce Their Portfolio Risk

I believe in conservative strategies. Our best customers are the ones who want to ensure they’ll not run out of money in the end, meaning they want to preserve their capital and generate returns to live on during retirement. They don’t care about making the highest returns in the shortest amount of time possible.

They care about having the best advice that will make their money last and ensure they’ll be okay in retirement. My investing strategy is different. I don’t believe in huge diversification, nor do I believe in holding assets that are falling in value. Because of this, investors using my conservative high-growth strategy not only reach retirement, they thrive like never before....Read More Here.
