Since the early July stock market low the sentiment has completely changed. In late June and early July every business talk show in the media was mentioning a stock market death cross (50 moving average crossing over to the downside the 200 moving average) and a massive head and shoulders top pattern (symmetrical bearish pattern that can often predict the target) in the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It seemed that Armageddon was upon us. However, as we all know when everyone is looking at the same thing the market rarely does the market allows that to happen. As you all know by now the market has only rallied from early July and has now traded higher by over 10.0 percent.

Now the business shows in the media are feeling good again. Investors are once again getting bullish looking for new highs. It still amazes me that people hated the market around 1011.00 on the S&P 500, however, they love it at 1118.00 when it is higher by more than 10.0 percent. Traders and investors in the media are now telling traders to buy stocks when we are nearing major important resistance levels. Are you telling me you want to buy Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc (NYSE:FCX) now at $71.50 when you could have owned it in early July at $57.00? What about Cliffs Natural Resources Inc (NYSE:CLF)? These people want you to own it now at $56.00 when they could have owned it at $45.00 in early July. People, this is when the professional trader is selling it to the public. Remember the public is always late to the party.

When everyone loves the market, that is the time to get out. When everyone hates the market that is the time to get in. The talking heads in the media always tell people to chase stock moves higher. It is the same as when a major brokerage firm upgrades a stock at a high. Just look at what happened to Jetblue Airways Corp (NASDAQ:JBLU) on June 14th when it was upgraded $6.80. Ironically, there were not any upgrades to mention on July 2nd when the stock was trading down to $5.25 a share. Simply put just learn to read the charts and forget the news.

By all accounts the month of July has been very positive for the major stock market indexes. The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSE:DIA) is now higher by more than 7.0 percent from the early July low pivot. This is a sharp advance higher in less than a thirty day period for the markets. The big question that most traders and investors are now asking is, how much upside is left in the tank?

July is an earnings reporting period for most companies; thus far the results have been mixed. In the beginning of the month the street reacted poorly to most earnings releases despite the numbers or guidance reported. Alcoa (NYSE:AA), and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) both sold off after reporting better than expected earnings. Recently the street has been reacting better to earnings and economic news. Even companies such as International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) has bounced back after initially getting pummeled after reporting earnings. You can almost feel the mood of the market changing its mind on a daily basis. It is important to note that the Dow Jones Industrial Average has staged four major reversal days since July 16th. This is a very rare event and shows the amount of uncertainty that is still in the marketplace.

The driving force in this market is not earnings or the economic news. Nor is it the Federal Reserve Bank talking of the next remedy they have in the medicine chest. It will not be the European bank’s stress tests; it will not be any of these so called major events. It will be and has been one thing since 2008; it is the movement and action in the U.S. Dollar. When the dollar declines the markets inflate. When the dollar rallies the stocks markets around the world deflate. Personally, I believe it is that simple. Sometimes the stock markets will trade inverse to the dollar on a tick for tick basis. Other times the market will react inversely to the dollar on a daily basis. The end result is that the U.S. Dollar Index has dropped around 7.0 percent since the June high. It is rather ironic that the stock market is higher by 7.0 percent since the early July lows. It is all about the U.S. Dollar Index. The bottom line is when the dollar falls the stock market inflates.

Despite the harsh economic climate that has mired the economies of the world in a difficult and painful financial malaise, for many in the world of investing, business is grinding on as usual. With the erratic roller coaster ride that has been the Dow Jones Industrial averages of late, some observers are openly questioning the sanity of many investors, and wondering aloud how and why many of them continue to risk fiscal life and limb in a dour, abysmal bear market such as this. The answer is surprisingly simple. There is still money to be made, profits to had, and investors cannot take advantage of it from the investing sidelines.

To make money on the market, an investor needs to be in the market. And though some headlines lately make it seem as though the economy is hemorrhaging value each and every trading session, the truth is many investors are still making a good profit and have managed to lead their portfolios to growth, even in this tough economy. The secret is actually fairly simple itself. Most are finding great success through the proper use and implementation of stock market trading software that analyzes the market conditions in relation to their portfolios looks for ways to seek optimization. But how does it work?

Stock Market Trading Software

The center of this lies in the fact that the software is a special configuration of algorithms that compile and analyze the data produced by the stock market each and every day. Comparing these sets of data to the results for an investor’s particular portfolio, the software looks for trends, triggers and signals that may optimize the investor’s holdings. And it works for both the positive and the negative. These software algorithms can look for ways to increase profits and value, and they also examine the data for danger trends and signals as well. All of the data is used to compile a comprehensive recommendation when these triggers or trends are discovered, in order to help you make the most of your investments.

Even in these tumultuous economic conditions that have prevailed over the past couple of years, stock market trading software has far outperformed human brokers and investment fund managers, and have managed to still return for the investors using them a measure of positive growth. Many investors are beginning to experience the wonderful potential of this amazing and powerful software that will dominate investing in the 21st century.

The stock market has had big ups and downs over the past two years. Unfortunately, it has not served the buy and hold investor very well. And if one looks at the longer term, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is around the same place as it was in the late 1990s. A decade ago, people though momentum stocks and dotcom stocks would outperform all other assets. Gold, despite its reputation as a lousy investment that doesn’t pay dividends, has easily outpaced the stock market.  Even with all of this, there is one sector in the investment world that has done well. It’s the world of hot penny stocks.

Let’s pretend for a second that there was a way to get a 20% profit on every trade. For example, if an investment of $1,000 was put into a hot penny stock that made 20%, the result would be $1,200. That $1,200 would become $1,440 after the second trade. Keep in mind that many investments get a profit far higher than 20%, but for the moment let’s assume a 20% profit per trade.  After the 38th successful trade, the investor will have $1,020,674.70 in his brokerage account due to the power of compound interest. All of this assumes the investor will reinvest all of his profits every single time, which is not hard to do if he’s getting at least a 20% profit each time.

With the James Connelly formula, hot penny stocks that gain from 20% to well over 50% are used to help multiply the money in a brokerage account. Using this system, an investor can realistically make over 20% per trade consistently, allowing for compound interest to take an initial $1,000 investment to over $1 million in just 38 trades. The whole idea of the James Connelly system is to identify breakout penny stocks before they make the big move that makes them hot penny stocks. When a good penny stock is identified, investors using this system rush in before the stock makes it move. Once the stock has made its big move, then it’s time to sell and reap the 20% or more in profits. After that, it’s rinse and repeat.

As an astute student of mathematics, James Connelly defied his math professors who said he wouldn’t be able to find patterns in the stock market. However, opportunities for patterns came up in the micro cap stock market. Don’t believe Wall Street when they say emerging markets exist only overseas. It thrives during times when big cap stocks do poorly, like in the last decade. Investors need to put their money somewhere, so they look to other places such as penny stocks to get a better return. With more liquidity and patterns, now is the time to invest in hot penny stocks with the James Connelly system.

This week’s major stock market drop was SHOCKING to many. Even more AMAZING was that Forex Mastery creator Gary Albrecht called the DOW as a SHORT pre-market on Thursday, based on his propriety M3 Forex Navigator software.

Just before it CRATERED and lost over 1000 points in ONE DAY!

… And he did it LIVE in a room full of 400+ traders.

You can see for yourself and watch the entire video here:

Gary actually called the crumbling of the DOW months ago by using his system, and then he did it again this week just before it actually happened on Thursday.

In fact His exact words were:

“The DOW is setting up for a MASSIVE retracement”

And later that day we saw one of the biggest drops in US History on the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Fortunes were made by some no doubt…

But only those who knew ahead of time, and who were short at the open.

Watch the video below to see it unfold:

The video is actually a two hour preview of the Forex Mastery system and the M3 Forex Navigator system, which he gave during a Non-Farm Payroll class at OU Forex Trader.

True, Forex Mastery is primarily a Forex Trading system…

But he was showcasing one of the NEW features of the system, a Dow Index he’s created using his proprietary indicators.

So now even STOCK and OPTION traders can benefit as well.

Gary’s call on the DOW was uncanny (maybe even a little SCARY).

If you want to skip to the part specifically, just fast forward until you see the DOW chart less than 1/3 of the way into it.

Just prior to that, while looking at the NEW M3 Market Scanner he mentions the prophetic words above…

I recommend you listen to the entire presentation, because he shows how his entire system works, from start to finish.

(The entire thing is a stroke of financial brilliance…)

There’s a new sheriff in town when it comes to Forex Trading.

His name is Gary Albrecht, and the Forex Mastery system. But you can’t get your hands on it just yet. Watch the video to find out.

This video will be pulled offline by the end of the weekend, so take a look now while it is still online.
