Brad Stafford, at Market Club, sent me a video explaining how to trade short term "pops" in stocks, using the market club system. Here’s what he wrote:
"We’re often asked at MarketClub just how to play short-term pops. Regardless if you are look at stocks, futures, or the forex market, it’s always the same… MarketClub Alerts. With these Alerts you are getting a warning of a major move. It’s not that you are reacting to fundamentals, it’s just that when the technicals align, you are the first to know."
Brad demonstrates how the system works using a few flu-related stocks (sva, vicl, and pork bellies). The flu-related stocks started their ascent (or descent in the case of pork bellies) before the news of the flu was out, so the strength of the stocks portended a future move. It would have been possible to catch the greater move that came after the flu news. If you’re interested in this system, check out the video. There’s also a free trial to the service. – Ilene
