Profit from the Pros

The Market is Sending You a Message

Some investors try and get too cute with market timing. They see the market surge to new heights and then become overbought on certain technical measures. So they take profits at these points with the hope to buy back on the dip.

But what if the market doesn't dip? You miss the profit train.

That is most certainly what happened with many traders taking money off the table at 2200 hoping for a 2-5% sell off to load back up. But stocks only retreated ½% and now have soared again to new all-time highs.

The market is sending you a message. And that is to stay invested when the long term trends are bullish. Too often those market timing moves have you on the sidelines just as the next rounds of profits unfold. And below is a great way for you to have extra profits unfold in your portfolio. This article shows a 3 step process for uncovering patterns in computer based trading that allow you to make timely stock market gains.
