Open Detailed Performance Statistics for 2004-2007.
What
is included?
•
2-4 picks per week (for credit/debit spread strategies)
with entry/exit alerts via email,
• weekly SectorTrends Newsletter with pros and cons for four
featured stocks, wide range of option strategies,
technical analysis and fundamentals (sample
in PDF Format),
• auto-trading with major
brokerages.
•
short list of "ready-to-move" ETFs and
their key stock components (updating twice a week;
sample).
Industry/sector movements have excellent
trading vehicles - exchange traded funds (ETF's)
and their options. You can ride industry/sector
trends using our "SectorTrends" Service.
| How it works? You
can trade ETFs and stocks that are extremely
strong or weak within the sector. As options
on many ETFs are thinly traded and have
wide bid/ask spreads, some trades in this
service will be on sector component stocks.
For uptrending sectors, option picks may
be on relative-strength leaders. For sectors
trending down, we may select weakening
stocks. We use our state-of-the-art mathematical
models to identify technical signals and
pre-select stock/option picks with better
chances to win. We take into consideration
both technical analysis and option mathematics
so that you can reduce risk and enhance
return of your portfolio. |
