Profiting From A Wall of Worry
Email # 61
Dear Reader,
“Climbing a wall of worry” is a stock market adage that refers to the difficulties we have
to overcome in order for the market to move higher. Right now we are on a giant wall…
and we may be slipping.
The market is stuck. It climbs higher, gains footing, and [...]

**Trouble at the Top?
 
 Dear Reader,
                                                     
While we’ve owned stocks this past year, and have taken some nice profits, the broad market is now getting tired. And although there may be a lot further to go on the upside, it’s just not prudent to sit back and do nothing when signs of weakness are [...]

**Bitten by the bug…
Dear Reader,
The sound of pumping air you hear is the gold bubble being inflated. If you’ve been reading The Money Map Report or Money Morning, you’ve likely taken a stake in gold (and if you haven’t there’s no reason not to).
But instead of rushing [...]

**Sleeping with the television on
Dear Reader,
While I figured we might sit back and watch the end-of-year markets bob and weave through the holidays, I can’t help myself when a Trigger Event opportunity presents itself.

Usually, there is a good amount of year-end selling, and we may [...]

Dear Reader,
As far as fear goes, it’s supposed to be a healthy thing. Fear of danger keeps us at a safer distance than we might otherwise tread. Fear of failure keeps us trying harder. And fear of missing out on this rally has made it self-fulfilling. [...]

**Waiting for Columbus
Dear Reader,
Waiting for a healthy pullback in this hyped-up and high-flying rally is like waiting for Columbus to discover America, again…it already happened. And while that was no little feat in the first place, it seems like discovering a solid base from which to load back up on stocks again [...]

**No Slob Indeed…
Dear Reader,
On May 26, 2009, I recommended you “SELL Schlumberger November $50 PUTS (SLBWJ.X)” which were trading at $6.10.
At that time, I was recommending buying Schlumberger because I liked its prospects, but we were playing it safe. By selling the puts we would have been happy to buy the stock [...]

**Protection, Prudence, Possibility and Profit
Dear Reader,
Protection: Because it’s a lot easier to accumulate wealth by not losing it, we’re going to bank gains when we have them and put protective stops under our profitable positions. No matter what happens, we will ring the cash register. “A penny saved is a penny earned.”
And, [...]
