Will We Get a Rally This Week? - Mike Swanson (07/13/09)

Submitted by Mike Swanson on Sun, 2009-07-12 18:44.

The stock market in my opinion made a major top a few weeks ago when the S&P 500 peaked around 950. It has since fallen for three weeks straight in a corrective wave that has caught most people totally off guard. A lot of people feel trapped in the market right now, they don't want to sell because CNBC is telling them that this is a new bull market, but they don't want to lose money like they did last year either.

I think this week some relief is going to come, because earnings season will kick off this Thursday. I explain why in this video.




I think the market is in a correction that is not over yet - but with earnings coming up this week and an oversold price condition on the 60 minute charts I think some sort of rally around the start of earnings season is likely. Normally when the market falls into earnings it rallies when the announcements start.

Hello. My name is Mike Swanson. I’m the best-selling author of the book Strategic Stock Trading. In a former life I used to run a hedge fund from 2003 to 2006 that generated a return of over 78% during that time frame. In fact it was ranked in the top 35 out of 5,000 hedge funds in 2005.

After I retired from the hedge fund world I setup this website and blog. If you sign up for my free weekly email list below I’ll send you an update on average about once a week on my views of the current stock market trends and share with you actionable investment ideas.

Now I cannot promise you that every stock I find will go up in value. I can’t promise you endless 100% returns as others claim they do and as all the disclaimers say past performance does not necessarily predict future performance and you can lose all of your money in the stock market.

This is reality.

What I can promise you is my dedication to doing the best I can for you.

You see the key to making money over the long-run in the stock market is to manage your risk. Once you sign up to my newsletter I’ll send you a series of educational videos and writings showing you how I use stop-loss orders to cut any potential losses and how I use my two fold formula system that combines fundamental and technical analysis to pick stocks. My goal is to risk one dollar to try to make at least three dollars in my trades by looking for stocks that are priced cheaply on a valuation basis, have high earnings growth, and have excellent chart patterns.

So join my list below and let me help guide you on your journey in the stock market.
