Tactics that Work in Good Markets and Bad
 
--

Dear Subscriber,

The Dow is now sitting within striking distance of 10,000. Though I anticipate light volume today, we just need a little good news to push the blue-chip average higher.

Assuming the Dow gets above 10,000, where will it go next? Will the market head higher or lower?

Kevin Matras, Steve Reitmeister and I share our views in this week's Roundtable Review.

Watch: Dow 10,000 and Beyond?


Since third-quarter earnings season is starting to kick into full gear, we will see stocks move in reaction to the earnings reports. The upside is that you will have many opportunities to make short-term profitable trades based on earnings surprises.

The key, of course, is knowing how to use profit reports to your advantage. Steve Reitmeister tells you how.

Wishing you prosperity,
