Market Summary:
The Market Commentary section of this video consists of three parts: 1) Reviewing the price action of the past few months combined with discussing the bullet points of the Market Note from 8/29. 2) What to expect from here and over the next few weeks. 3) Tips for members who like to actively manage their portfolios and vary their investment levels. After Tuesday’s follow through day, the market has acted well. We didn’t see any heavy distribution during the remainder of the week and many leading stocks continue to show strong price action. Of course, we will see some backing and filling, but I think the market should do well into the week of the September 15th options expiration. After that, I’m expecting some weakness towards the second half of September, but as always, I will take this day-by-day.
The main purpose of this product is to encourage you to make decisions and constantly work on an investment/trading plan that works for you. No matter your timeframe, please stay focused on the main goals of: 1) Exposing yourself to strong stocks and ETFs. 2) Getting strong entry points. 3) Managing your trades as best as possible based on your timeframe. If you have any questions on this or anything you would like to me review, you can ask it during the next webinar which will be this Monday, September 4th at 7PM EST. Thank you and enjoy the remainder of your long weekend!
