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.

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?

Setting Proper Expectations While Learning How To Trade/Invest For Growth Using ETFs

Continuing with our sneak peek week, welcome to an example of the Monday video report our CGS subscribers receive. Typically I will cover market movements from a high level perspective, going over the pops and drops, market sentiment, ETF trends, and market phases of the preceding week and then looking at where the markets may be headed next. 

I will often also include my thoughts on a frequently asked question – and the main topic of last week’s emails was why our CGS strategy is out of the market and protecting our capital at the moment….Watch The Video Here.

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.

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

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.

Is A Full Fledged Bear Market On The Horizon and The Rally In Precious Metals?

Stock Indexes Rejected At Resistance Signal Another Correction

Stocks struggled with overhead resistance for the past week. While seasonal trends usually favor a year end rally, this year’s rally may already have finished. January will be the month to watch. If the market closes with a positive January, we almost always have a strong year for stocks. 

But if not, we could be in for a doozy of a bear market in the first half of 2023. This week we had more hawkish Fed talk on Wednesday, suggesting that rates will remain higher for a longer period of time....Continue Reading Here.

After This Holiday Rally, You Better Know When To Walk Away

This week’s investor insight will make you think twice about the current stock and bond rally as we head into the end of the year.

We get a lot of questions about if the stock market has bottomed or if it is headed lower and how they can take advantage of the next Major market move. Over the next 6 to 12 months, I expect the market to have violent price swings that will either make or break your financial future. So let me show a handful of charts and show what I expect to unfold.

Let’s dive in....Continue Reading Here.

Gold Starting Stage 4 Decline: What Does This Mean For Investors?

It has been an interesting year, with stocks down nearly 25% and the bond ETF TLT down over 40% since the 2020 highs. 

The passive buy and hold investor is becoming panicked, and we can see this in the stock market through the mass selling of utility stocks, dividend stocks, and bonds. 

When the masses become fearful, they liquidate nearly all assets in their portfolios which is why we see the Big Blue chip stocks selling off along with precious metals. 

As investors liquidate around the world, they focus on where their money can still be preserved. With most currencies falling in value, there is a flood toward the U.S. dollar index as the safety play....Continue Reading Here.

Waiting For GLD To Make New Highs - Gold Rally Is Still Intact

The calm of the last 3 weeks has resulted in a risk on environment. This, in turn, has led to a nice recovery rally in stocks. For the time being, volatility has subsided. However, we believe there are many underlying market risks that can still resurface without any warning.

From late 2015 to August 2020, the price of gold doubled, going from approximately $1040 to $2080. Gold then experienced a profit taking $400 pullback. Gold’s rally over the past 12 months failed to break through its $2080 price level. After retreating back to $200, gold seems to have found support at the $1900 level.

In reviewing the following spot gold chart, it appears we have broken out of an accumulation phase and seem to be preparing to move above the $2080 high.....Continue Reading Here.
