What’s ahead for Apple?
I was looking over several charts this past weekend and I was shocked to recognize a chart formation playing out before my very eyes. I’ve seen this same formation a million times before, but I just didn’t want to believe it could be happening to my favorite stock, Apple (NASDAQ_AAPL). Some would call this denial.
In the past I’ve written extensively about Apple products on this blog. If you have read any of these postings, you’d know how crazy I am about their products.
Several months ago I discovered a major technical formation that spelled trouble for Apple. I have to admit that I was saddened by this. This formation was also picked up by the “Trade Triangle” technology. The algorithm triggered a sell signal and has continued to suggest a short position for Apple all this time.

I was surprised that we’ve seen this market come down so easily. It seems like every time I visit an Apple store they are always busy and their products always seem to be selling well.
The question is, are we at the end of the iPod era?
Given the chart formation, the double top and pivot point, it seems we are headed lower. The Pivot Point measures down to the $40-$50 range and Apple at $90 still has a long way to go on the downside.
What caught my eye this weekend was a weekly continuation pattern to the downside and the fact that Apple closed at a new weekly low for the year. This is not a bullish sign by any stretch of the imagination.
For this coming week, I expect to see further downside pressure on Apple. I believe that we are going to be looking at the $50-60 dollar range as our target zone. Of course everything within will be tempered by the “Trade Triangle” technology. When the short-term “Trade Triangle” turns positive, we will close out short positions and take to the sidelines. In my opinion, it’s going to take some time for this market to improve and turn around. The technicals are just too weak at the moment.

Dollar…Stocks…Crude…what’s next?
When Paulson came out today and stated that his earlier plan to save the western world was not working, he offered up a plan “C” (or is it “D”) to relieve pressure on consumer credit, scrapping his earlier effort to buy the value mortgage assets.
No matter what happens or what the next plan is here, are the 3 reasons I believe stocks are headed lower.
- Number 1: The trend in most all stocks is down. This trend is likely to persist and last longer than most people imagine.
- Number 2: There is no plan. The government is floundering and does not have a plan that is going to work anytime soon.
- Number 3: We have a lame-duck president, and nothing is going to happen of any consequence until President-elect Obama is sworn in.
New Video analysis of what could really happen: Click Here.
Okay, so let’s look at the first problem. Most people trading the market today have had no experience in a prolonged bear market like the one we had in the ’70s. That bear market was brutal as it did not let anyone out. Over the course of the early ’70s, the bear market basically wore people out to the extent they eventually just threw in the towel. We believe the market is going to make another new low and take out the recent lows that were put in place in early October. Unlike a bull market that constantly needs positive news to drive it higher, a bear market just falls under its own weight.
The second problem we have is that there is no concrete plan in place to rescue the economy. In fact, the domestic and global economic issues are so great that they are overwhelming in scope. The Paulson plan, which is being changed and will continue to change, is a major concern and creates significant uncertainty in the marketplace. Only when we see the new regime take! off ice this coming January will we see any meaningful changes.
The third problem we have is a lame-duck president. This is a major problem for the markets as President-elect Obama can not make any sweeping changes until he is sworn into office. Yes, he may hit the ground running, but the reality is, it’s not for over two months from now and a lot can happen to the market in two months. The key levels that everyone is going to be watching for are the recent lows we saw in early October. If these lows are taken out, and I expect they will be, it’s going to push this market and everything else down to new lows. It will exacerbate the housing situation, the unemployment situation and most of all, the morale of the country.
Having lived through the bear market of the ’70s, I know firsthand how difficult the journey we face is going to be. Now this may seem like a very pessimistic outlook and in some ways it is, however there are always opportunities to make mone! y i n the marketplace. These opportunities may not be in stocks! , it may be in forex or the commodity markets.

Mark McRae just released an interesting report. Just thought to share with you here..
click here to download directly
He really go into depth on how this indicator works. We also cover techniques of how to use the indicator. These are the same techniques that a few elite traders have been using to trade the markets every day.
I’ve been told that these underground reports have created quite a following. When we cover a topic, you basically have all the information you need on that technique. Many traders print these reports out and keep them for reference. I highly recommend you do the same thing.
What successful traders do in today’s market?
The big question most traders around the globe are asking is:
“How do I trade in a market like the one we’re in the midst of right now?!”
That’s a fair question, IF you don’t have a set of good trading methods.
However, the select groups of traders who DO have good trading methods aren’t even thinking about that question.
They just follow the rules of their methods, which, BY DESIGN, keep them out of the market for the most part when it behaves like it has in recent weeks.
* And that is the difference between a successful trader and a trader who consistently loses.
HOW SUCCESSFUL TRADERS MAINTAIN THEIR ‘EDGE’
To see how successful traders handle markets like we’re in right now, watch this brand new, short video that spotlights a few recent trades that were picked off a week BEFORE the market tanked on 9/29.
You’ll see:
* James River Coal Company (JRCC)
- Went short 9/22
- Hit 10% profit target a few days later
- Then grabbed another profit with a special technique
- smart traders use. (You have to see this.)
* Mosaic Company (MOS)
- Went short 9/23
- Hit 10% profit target very quickly
- Using the same technique as with JRCC, collected even more profit as the market continued to tank.
So where’s the market heading next?
- Amateurs lose sleep when they think about this question.
- And successful traders, honestly, DON’T CARE where the market is headed next… because they have step-by-step rules that let them spot profit potential NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

WHY HE’S GIVING IT ALL AWAY
When I snuck a look at a preview copy of this training, I thought for sure I’d see it for sale online in a few days.
In fact, I’d personally pay at least 200 bucks for this, and probably more.
But here’s the kicker - it’s not for sale (at least not right now).
You can’t purchase a copy.
But the author really has a deep-seated drive to “wake up”
the trading community, and that’s why he decided to GIVE IT AWAY.
In his own words he says, “Frankly, I’m sick & tired of the media’s doom & gloom scenarios, and want to show people the step-by-step tactics successful traders use to profit no matter what the economy is doing. So I sat down to record this training as if I was under oath, being grilled by an attorney. That’s how direct and forthcoming it is.”

P.S. This is a HUGE amount of training. Take your time to read & watch it all, but hurry and download it. Why? Because it’s so large, it could be taken offline at any moment if the author’s web server “bandwidth” gets eaten up with all the requests for the materials.
Brand new Market Mastery training coming
Are you struggling in the stock market? Worried about today’s economy?
* Good news — I just got a private message (see below) from one of the trading community’s top mentors.
He’s about to release some brand new training to help you prosper in the stock market & today’s economy.
So he asked his private readers list if they could help him with the crafting of his materials. I’m on that list, which is how I got his email. But he also gave me permission to forward it on to YOU, so you can participate, too.
I’ll write again when the actual training material is ready, but for now this is a rare chance for you to help drive the direction that his new training will take.
Go ahead, read below, then follow the link to help create some “custom”, complimentary stock market “mastery training”.
Good Trading.

Hi YC,
Have you been watching the evening news or reading the morning paper lately?
If so, then you’d think there’s not much reason to get out of bed in the morning –
…a pretty bleak picture is being painted about our future.
There’s a lot of “doom & gloom” in the news, and I think a lot of traders are getting scared…
-but they shouldn’t be.
That’s because there are specific, tested ways to turn “doom & gloom” into huge profit potential, especially in the stock market.
(Of course, you won’t hear about this in the news.)
So I decided to release some brand new, complimentary training material soon that addresses this, to show you some of the best trading strategies, tactics, techniques, and mindsets you could be using RIGHT NOW to quietly pad your portfolio…
-while others are clutching their wallets, white-knuckled, waiting for the sky to fall.
I’ve already recorded some GREAT videos that I think you’ll love, but I’m also working on a new “insiders report” that’s geared around how to PROSPER in the stock market & today’s economy…
* no matter who gets elected in the U.S…
* no matter which country gets more jobs…
* no matter what happens to the U.S. dollar…
|||| HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP…
I’d like to ask you a favor by telling me exactly what your
#1 concern is about not only surviving but prospering in the stock market & today’s economy.
I’ll make sure I cover the top concerns in my upcoming training materials.
To add your voice to the training, click here.
There’s a 10-second survey there. I’ll be finalizing my material next weekend, so if you want to participate, please do so now so I have time to read your response.
Thanks for your help. I’ll send out another message as soon as my training material is ready.
Good Trading,

Supercharges your portfolio in less than 20 minutes
(Make sure you read all this because it contains a ‘blueprint’ that can have a DIRECT IMPACT on your portfolio.)
This is what I know so far…
The trading community is on the verge of an unprecedented ‘explosion’ of profit potential trading a group of funds that have largely remained ignored by ‘mainstream’ individuals…
but for over a decade, select ‘underground’ traders have been quietly siphoning this potential directly from these ‘under the radar’ markets… essentially padding their portfolios, year after year.
So if you have ANY interest in discovering how to get in on what’s being called a ‘portfolio supercharger’ while it’s still somewhat ‘quiet’, you’re in for a TREAT.
FOLLOW THE ‘BLUEPRINT’
The trader behind this consumer guide wrote it initially as a gift to his readers to thank them for helping him with a survey about the markets in question…
(about 100,000 traders were asked to participate)
But what was intended as a 10 or 15 page ‘thank you’ note turned into a 57-page ‘blueprint’ that effectively shows you how to join this ‘underground community’.
While these markets have been around for over a decade, they’re just now beginning to gain momentum, but they’re far from ‘popular’…
And not only are the top 20 questions about these markets answered in clear detail… but you’ll discover how you can use this information to breathe some much needed life into your portfolio, regardless of what you already trade.
LESS THAN 20 MINUTES
Find out how the author spends LESS THAN 20 minutes a day with TOTAL confidence in these markets, which leaves him the rest of the day to pursue other activities…
You’ll also learn:
- How you can get an unfair head start using these specialized trading strategies before the ‘mainstream’ catches on. Don’t worry, it’s entirely legal (page 54).
- How to doubl.e your profit potential with half the effort by harnessing a special kind of fund designed to pad your portfolio when the market tanks (page 11).
- How to finally let your IRA funnel profit potential out of bear runs. This little-known technique essentially lets your IRA flex its muscles for the first time ever as you trade it almost like a regular brokerage account (page 25).
- How to drastically reduce your ‘time in the trenches’ trading these potent markets by spending less than 20 minutes a day. These 3 discoveries make it all possible (page 38).
- How to use his 2-step ‘fast filter’ technique for quickly and efficiently finding the lowest risk & highest probability funds available. You effectively become your very own “selection service” (page 23).
- …plus, there’s a TON more you’ll get to sink your teeth into about these ‘ignored markets’ when you get the report.
SORRY - IT’S NOT FOR SALE
Even though he could probably sell thousands of copies of this report on the web, the author made a decision to give it away (for now, at least).
Why?
Frankly, he understands that there are a lot of hucksters out there who peddle worthless information, so he decided to make himself stand out from the crowd by giving away as much high- quality, actionable trading EDUCATION and CONTENT as possible.
That way, if you want to work with him more closely in the future, you already know what he’s made of (and without coughing up a single penny to find out).
I find that kind of attitude refreshing. Don’t you?
HOW TO GET YOUR COPY
To get your copy, just visit this web page right now.
By the way, you also have the author’s permission to give away copies of this report to anyone you think needs some ‘first aid’ for their portfolio.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
TWIN DISASTERS - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
No love for these two stocks.
Even after Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson made a statement ensuring that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would remain as presently constituted to carry out their mission it was not enough to satisfy most investors.
Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac hold about $5 trillion worth of mortgage guarantees in this country, roughly about half of the 9.5 trillion mortgage debt. Their survival is paramount.
The trouble with these two companies is the latest depressing factor in the current credit and confidence crisis that the United States is going through at the present time. This type of negative information is depressing for stocks and weighs on the minds of investors. This type of mindset is similar to the early seventies when we witnessed the last prolonged bear market.
There are no quick fixes to our current set of problems, only trading opportunities.
We live in a capitalist society and these are the cycles that we go through every 30 to 40 years. This is the price we pay for living in a free society.
My new eight minute video shows in detail how easy it is to avoid disaster stocks like Freddie and Fannie. I also show you in very clear terms how to fortress your portfolio to withstand any type of financial tornado that blows through the world economy.
Enjoy the video.
