For the second-consecutive week, stocks posted strong gains nearly across the board. The Dow enjoyed a 1.51% gain over the past five sessions while the S&P 500 climbed 1.58%. The NASDAQ Composite jumped 1.91%. The real big winner this week was small caps, as the Russell 2000 surged 2.69%. A rebound in oil prices this […]

Last month, I had the privilege of attending one of the best conferences in my industry, the Inside ETFs Conference held in Hollywood, Florida. This year, the conference featured a most-unusual keynote speaker, former U.S. Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill. If you recognize the name, you probably also know that O’Neill is credited with perhaps the

The stock market rally has stalled. The S&P 500 traded as high as 1,946 on Monday and since has given up 50 points to the downside. We are placing on hold all open positions within the ETF Trader’s Edge portfolio. We are waiting for the market’s next move before recommending any new trades. If there […]

Stocks managed to do something this week that they haven’t done in 2016, and that is log an unequivocal weekly gain. The broad-based buying during the holiday-shortened week sent the Dow up 2.62% while the S&P 500 surged 2.84%. The NASDAQ Composite enjoyed the biggest weekly gains, spiking a robust 3.85%. The action this week […]

The gains week to date (through midday Friday) were very strong, with the Dow surging 2.46% while the S&P 500

Oil has done what we expected it to do over the last 7-10 days, so let’s bank our gains and look to reload. Upon receipt of this special alert for ETF Trader’s Edge, sell your United States Oil Fund LP (USO) position that last traded at $8.83, roughly 13% above our buy price, and the USO March […]

Have markets hit a short-term low? We think so. Right now, all of our open positions are poised to profit in a rising market. Of course, the market will move in whatever direction investors take it, but we think conditions are favorable for welcoming a relief rally. Here are a few reasons why. Markets do

Another week, another bout of aggressive volatility on Wall Street. Down, up, down and all around seemed to be the order of the week for the major indices, but that also was the case for oil. In fact, the slide in oil throughout most of the week kept stocks from gaining any traction. Then on […]

If this market decline feels different to you, then you’re not alone. It certainly seems like we are entering a bear market in U.S. stocks, and so far the major U.S. averages are quickly approaching official bear market status (i.e. 20% or more below their most-recent highs). The Dow is down nearly 14% from its

Wow, what a busy week it has been! We launched ETF Trader’s Edge one week ago today and our first few trades have gotten us started with BIG PROFITS! Last Wednesday, we purchased the double-long ProShares Ultra Gold Miners exchange-traded fund (GDXX) and sold it Thursday for a 16% gain. At the same time we […]
