Sentiment Trader has recently shared some of our secret data with our members here ==> CLICK HERE. 


Now do not hold us to this, and it does not happen every year, however According to some of our more clustered data, after financials gain at least 5% in the summer the sector tends to keep climbing up. Again we are currently in a DOWN CHANNEL on the XLF or financial sector charts. But this would be a strong little gem to put on your watch list. 

You have to realise this sector is hot on the lips of most market managers as it could perform very well if the banks see fed rates rise soon. 

 This is quite interesting. Here is the chart :-

Four ways North Koreas missile launch over Japan is hitting global markets ?

Four ways North Koreas missile launch over Japan is hitting global markets

North Korea launched a ballistic missile that passed right over Japan, and that's set markets on high alert, with four big movers.

US stock futures

U.S. stock futures were a big early mover, with the Dow Jones industrial average mini futures dropping as much as 147 points to 21,644 in a knee-jerk reaction. That compared with the index's close on Monday at 21,808.40.

The DJIA futures later regained some lost ground, trading down 109 points at 21,682 at 10:02 a.m. HK/SIN.

Japanese yen

Perhaps counterintuitively, Japan's currency move higher — because it generally does well when nervous investors are looking to park their money somewhere secure.

It climbed against the greenback, with the dollar fetching as little as 108.32 yen in early Tuesday trade, down from levels approaching 111 yen earlier in the month.

Against other currencies, the yen moved more sharply. The euro/yen fell as low as 129.63 in early Asia trade, compared with levels just under 131 on Monday. The Australian dollar was fetching as little as 85.67 yen in early Asia trade, compared with touching levels over 87 yen on Monday.

South Korea's currency

Yen strength also collided with a hit to South Korea's won.

The yen was fetching as much as 10.3827 won in early Asia trade, compared with as little as 10.2258 won on Monday.

The won also dropped against the greenback, with the dollar fetching as much as 1,128.60 won in early Asia trade, compared with as little as 1,117.47 won on Monday.

Asia stocks more broadly

Stock markets across Asia lost ground, although the declines weren't as sharp as during previous North Korean provocations.

South Korea's Kospi index dropped as much as 1.44 percent in early trade, while Japan's Nikkei index fell as much as 0.87 percent to a four-month low before recovering slightly.

... and one that isn't moving

Surprisingly, one asset that tends to rise during times of heightened anxiety didn't see much upside: gold.

Indeed, the yellow metal appeared to dip after the launch, with spot gold trading as low as $1,313.74 an ounce in early trade, down from its close Monday at $1,317.10, although it later recovered.

Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at currency trading platform Oanda, said in a note on Tuesday that he expected gold would be bid higher from here.

"The events of this morning have somewhat overshadowed gold's performance in the New York session where gold proceeded directly to go and put in a monster $20 rally from its opening," he said. "Trump's negative comments on the NAFTA renegotiation and no tightening signals from Jackson Hole see U.S. dollar selling renew with vigor in New York."

The stock market or S&P is now in a DOWNWARDS channel, as you can see here, WITH OUR LATEST VIP UPDATE. 


Four ways North Koreas missile launch over Japan is hitting global markets



Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called North Korea's latest launch an "unprecedented, serious and significant threat," and markets appeared to agree. South Korea also warned that it was gearing up its military to hit back at the North, if necessary.

"Markets are on the defensive, fearing an escalation in tensions in Northeast Asia," Singapore-based bank DBS said in a note on Tuesday.

While markets walked back some of their early gyrations, DBS warned it was "too early to let down your guard," citing the need to watch for responses from the U.S. and China.

It said there was "no guarantee that U.S. President Donald Trump will refrain from fiery rhetoric in his response."

But for now, the reason markets haven't reacted more strongly to North Korea's behavior is that they've become accustomed to the nuclear pariah's antics.

"The very simplistic and glib answer is we're just getting used to this. We're inured to North Korea's saber-rattling," Rob Carnell, head of research for Asia at Dutch bank ING, said on Tuesday.

How to Trade Stocks Without Spending a Penny


How to Trade Stocks Without Spending a Penny

"How to Trade Stocks Without Spending a Penny " 

How to Trade Stocks Without Spending a Penny? What this all about..... See below. 

------------------------------

How to Trade Stocks Without Spending a Penny?  

We hear this all the time: “I want to learn stock trading, but I don’t have any money. What can I do?” And what the people asking this forget is that I was once exactly where they are. I didn’t have a mentor, and I didn’t have some special training program to help me uncover the trading patterns that have made us successful.

I worked hard, and I did it on a budget. Here are three ways you can do the same:

1. Take advantage of free resources.

There are so many great training videos, blogs and other resources that will help you get started that you have absolutely no excuse for not jumping in today. 

Can you imagine where you’d be as a trader if you took the time to go through all of those videos? Say you took two hours a day to study my stock-trading advice. You’d get through the videos in under two months, and I guarantee you’d be in a better position than the people out there who buy into big-ticket courses, then never act on the information they’ve purchased.

I wish I could show you all the hours I spent when I was first getting started, sitting at my computer and studying stock charts until my eyes glazed over. I started from “square one,” too -- and I didn’t have access to nearly as many resources as you do. Fifteen years ago, the Internet was a totally different place. If I could pull it off with my limited access, you can do much better now, with all the different resources out there today.

 [ Join Our DAILY VIP NEWSLETTER - Click Here ]


2. Set up a practice account.

With all the different free resources out there, I want you to go crazy. Read every blog post or book you can get your hands on and watch every video. Learn about the fundamentals of stock trading, what it means to watch price action and how to execute trades.

But I also want to caution you that there’s a point where you have to translate all that education you’ve invested into action. Reading about trading isn’t enough. You aren’t a trader until you, well . . . trade.

If you don’t yet have the money to open your first brokerage account, at least start practicing. Find a website online that lets you set up a practice account and actually execute a few test trades. Practice the strategies I teach, but do it in a low-risk way. While practice portfolios aren’t perfect mirrors of real-world accounts, they’ll at least get you used to the feeling of researching and executing a trade.

 [ Join Our DAILY VIP NEWSLETTER - Click Here ]

3. Start saving for your brokerage account

As you research and run trades in your practice account, take a look at the brokers I use, because I want you to think ahead for the future. One of the great things about penny-stock trading is that you can get started with a small account. Let’s say you’ve got just $2,000 to invest. With that money, you could buy about 16 shares of Apple stock at $120 a share, or you could buy 2,000 shares of a stock trading at $1 a share.

And since you make money when you enter and/or exit a stock based on the number of shares you hold, which of these options do you think will help grow your account the fastest?

Penny stocks are a great fit for beginners, but I do want to caution you on one thing: Don’t use your last $2,000 to open your brokerage account. Set it up with money you can afford to lose. If you don’t have a few hundred dollars or a few thousand you regard in that way, cut your expenses or earn a little extra pocket change until you do.

When you’re ready to start actively trading, find a mentor who'll help you make the most of the money you’ve been able to save. While that isn’t always free, the amount you’ll save by not making stupid mistakes and avoiding unnecessary losses will help start you out on the right foot toward long-term profitability.

If you’ve started investing on a shoestring budget, what other tips would you add to this list? Leave a comment below with your suggestions.

"Trouble in the transports is flashing the warning sign to investors"

Ethereum jumps 10% amid worries about bitcoin in a wild day for digital currencies


Ethereum jumps 10% amid worries about bitcoin in a wild day for digital currencies

"Ethereum jumps 10% amid worries about bitcoin in a wild day for digital currencies" 

in the news Ethereum jumps 10% amid worries about bitcoin in a wild day for digital currencies? What this all about..... See below. 

------------------------------

Sentiment Trader Digital currency saw ethereum climbed Monday to a near two-month high amid renewed uncertainty about the future of bitcoin.

Ethereum traded about 10 percent higher near $330 Monday afternoon, after earlier rising 15 percent to $347.05, its highest since June 23, according to CoinMarketCap. At its session high, the site's data showed ethereum had gained 70 percent for the month and more than 4,000 percent for the year.

The gains in ethereum could be part of the market's reaction to the increasingly fractured bitcoin community.

Ethereum 7-day performance




Bitcoin traded more than 1 percent lower near $4,055.88, according to CoinDesk, well off a record high of $4,522.13 hit last Thursday. Even with the last few days' decline of about $500, bitcoin remained about 40 percent higher for August and more than quadruple in value for the year.

The decline in price came as digital currency enthusiasts have increasingly focused on the potential of an upgrade proposal called SegWit2x to split bitcoin again in November, just months after its Aug. 1 split into bitcoin and bitcoin cash.

Bitcoin cash traded 15 percent lower near $603, down more than $450 from Saturday's record high of $1,091.97, according to CoinMarketCap. The bitcoin offshoot still held gains of nearly 200 percent from a low of $210 hit on the day of the split Aug. 1.

Meanwhile, investors gained more confidence in a smooth upgrade for ethereum's network, a proposal called "Metropolis" expected in the next several weeks that should improve transaction privacy and efficiency.

Other factors contributing to ethereum's gains Monday included steady demand from South Korean investors and news that London-based online trading company IG also launched support for trading ethereum on Monday.

Trade in South Korean won accounted for about 30 percent of trading in ethereum, according to CryptoCompare. Bitcoin accounted for nearly 29 percent and the U.S. dollar about 25 percent, the site showed.

Traders were also using bitcoin to buy digital currencies such as Monero, a cryptocurrency focused on making transactions confidential and untraceable.

Is there a lightning speed stock market sell-off in August - Is there a lightning speed stock market sell-off in August


Is there a lightning speed’ stock market sell-off in August

"Is there a lightning speed’ stock market sell-off in August

in the news - Is there a lightning speed’ stock market sell-off in August? What this all about..... See below. 

------------------------------
Is there a lightning speed stock market sell-off in August
Is there a lightning speed stock market sell-off in August

With the recent bull market rally, market analysts are ademate that stock can continue to drive higher than we have ever seen in the history of the stock market. Is this true, have recent earnings been good enough to take us and soar past recent highs, or is this positively just a house of straw with nothing to show and ready to be blown over in a gust of wind?

The months of August and September are notorious for dramatic declines in the stock market, and there are a select few analysts who are sending out a dire warning investors to be mentally and financially ready when if it does eventuate!.


Stocks fell last week after a combination of weak retail earnings and bank stock performance spooked some investors.

"In the dog days of summer, we can get hit with lightning speed sell-offs, if we go back over 40 years, August and September have been notorious for seeing large and dramatic sell offs in the market. 

Rather than join the masses of scared investors in the next downturn, some analysts are seeing the other side of the coin. Meaning they are recommending clients to view it as a buying opportunity. That means having some cash available, and stock ideas on hand that could be put to work in a "cool and methodical" way.

Big wall st, guru type investors have not been spooked by the sell-off last week. There are charitable trust took action and purchased stocks like Nvidia and Activision Blizzard on weakness. These are just some ideas going forward while market constituents watch the ebbs and flow with the market. 

Despite the fact that everyone was freaking out, the positive backdrop for stocks didn't change. We have low inflation, low interest rates, good earnings and a weak dollar. So astute investors realize that sort of market environment can be very healthy in these dire times. Sometimes you have to look past the trees to see the forest!. 

Low inflation means that earnings for companies could be worth more in the future. often considered by some as to be a huge wrapped up Christmas gift, as high inflation could erode the long-term value case for equities.



Additionally, low interest rates can act as a positive catalyst to spur business in the U.S., and prompt investors to buy stocks with strong dividends. There are no guarantees but the role of this article is to try and help readers weigh up the positives and negatives and make informed decisions from that. 

Regardless of the positive implications of interest rates or inflation, some traders still have reservations.The first on the list would be that Congress is not in session currently. In this perspective, both sides of the aisle are at odds with President Trump. Thus, the market could move higher while Congress is not in session, and then be impacted negatively when it reconvenes in September. Hedge fund managers do watch the events in congress to make important decisions with their trades. So that might mean the stock market sits on shaky ground the next few months. 

Other worries on market analysts list were technology stocks, the recent bounce in transportation stocks and interest rates.


Ultimately, a good strategy going into the worst two months or the year, might be for investors to start selling the worst stocks in their portfolio that have managed to go up as a part of the broad rally and have some cash on hand for the next downturn.

Buffett's Berkshire dumps GE but bets further on banking sector?

Buffett's Berkshire dumps GE but bets further on banking sector

Sentiment Trader has seen today that, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway sold its stake in General Electric as of the end of June, according to a regulatory filing on Monday.

The conglomerate had previously held 10.6 million shares of GE, according to its regulatory disclosure in May. John Flannery became CEO of General Electric on Aug. 1 after Jeff Immelt stepped down after 16 years. Flannery was previously president and CEO of GE Healthcare.

Berkshire appears to be keeping its hand in a legacy part of GE. It reported a 17.5 million share stake in Synchrony Financial, the financing arm of GE that was spun out in a 2014 initial public offering. Shares of Synchrony are down more than 18 percent this year, but they bounced up over 4 percent in after-hours trading Monday.

Berkshire also increased its holdings of Bank of New York Mellon by 52.2 percent, to 50.2 million shares.

Buffett has embraced the financial sector, which many believe is poised for growth after years of historically low interest rates and extra regulation. In June, Berkshire announced it would convert warrants it has in Bank of America to 700 million common shares, which will make it the bank's biggest shareholder once that conversion is complete.

Here is a recent chart of the XLF or the financial sector. 

 When we take a look at the XLF daily chart you can see we have clearly fallen out of a channel and uptrend. Although there might be some risks as AUGUST usually being a weak month for the markets, you can see the XLF [financial sectors] is still holding up rather well. 



Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire also raised its stake in General Motors by 20 percent in the second quarter, to 60 million shares. The automaker's shares are up 1.8 percent this year after battling a proxy contest by activist hedge fund Greenlight Capital, run by David Einhorn. GM shareholders voted overwhelmingly in support of the company in June, a defeat for Einhorn. Greenlight reported it held 59.7 million shares of GM at the end of June

Berkshire's GE holdings were just 0.12 percent of the outstanding shares. GE shares are down nearly 20 percent this year.

Buffett struck a deal during the financial crisis to invest $3 billion in GE and later converted warrants to common shares in the blue chip company in a deal similar to those he reached with Goldman Sachs and Bank of America.

will bitcoin rise to $5000 - will bitcoin rise to $5000


will bitcoin rise to $5000

"will bitcoin rise to $5000" 

in the news - will bitcoin rise to $5000? What this all about..... See below. 

------------------------------

There is much hype surrounding bitcoin right now, and many people who claim to by psychic think the price will soon reach $5000 per coin. But is this all crazy hype bubble-mania or is this coin the real deal and about to skyrocket into the atmosphere and create more millionaires along the way. 

IT is obvious that the genie is out of the bottle, and cryptocurrencies will continue to rise and take market share away from stocks, other precious metals, bonds and currencies  investors should take a shot on this If you lose a few bucks, at least you took a shot  In life, you miss every shot that you do not take. It will probably be more upsetting to watch it (from the sidelines) go up another  500%."



Another rival digital currency ethereum could double in value from just under $200 to reach $400 in the next year, and another digital currency, litecoin, to double from about $40 to $80.

stock analyst say  the top 20 digital currencies by market are creating huge buzz and it might be time to look at the crypto world if people have money to burn.
In 10-15 years from now, the charts on a few of the top 20 names could look like the Amazon, Apple, Tesla, Facebook, Netflix and Google charts look today.
Bitcoin has already as developers go ahead with a scheduled upgrade known as Bitcoin Cash. Direct owners of bitcoin will then hold two versions of the digital currency.

The market is telling you right now that there are many positives going forward and bitcoin due to limited supply in 2020 could make bitcoin even more rarer than gold. 

The digital currency hit a record $4,025 in this week with wall st analysts now circulated and wondering what all the hype is about. 
If major trends develop,  bitcoin could reach $5,000 "in a few years, we are not far away right now. 

Since march 2017, institutional attention on bitcoin has only increased.
Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee became the first major Wall Street strategist to publish a report about bitcoin on July 7. Less than a week later, Switzerland's financial market regulator authorized the first Swiss bank to manage bitcoinfor clients, while the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission last Monday approved the first bitcoin options platform. This is big news, and caused some of the biggest names on wall st to look at this asset. 

Last Tuesday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also issued a report and investors bulletin on initial coin offerings, or sales of new digital coins.
There is now little doubt that 1% of the money in cash, bonds, stocks and gold will end up in cryptocurrencies, and that would only put the icing on the cake for bitcoin. 


Since the $80 billion cryptocurrency market right now is a 25th of 1 percent of the $200 trillion in gold, cash, stocks and bonds, we must  point out digital currencies will need to increase by 25 times in order to reach 1 percent of the overall capital market.

If cryptocurrencies become part of asset allocation models and take 2 to 4 percent of capital markets, then the digital currencies will likely increase 100 times in value. That is very possible in the coming years. 

Of course there are a host of risks for investing in digital currencies, including inherent high volatility, large-scale hacks on cryptocurrency firms and potential regulation, especially in China, that could cause prices to "collapse." That could be fast, but it’s a risk some market players are willing to take. 

In addition, there does seem to be a lack of customer support for online digital currency products.

"There is no telephone support," he said in the report. "You must go to the FAQs section and spend a long time looking for the answer to whatever question you may have — and then you may not be happy with the answer. Your only other option is to send an email to customer support which could take anywhere from one-to-seven days to get a reply."

All that said, it might be the right time to buy digital currencies is now. He described in his report how investors can buy bitcoin, and why financial institutions are interested in the blockchain technology behind bitcoin and other digital currencies. The potential of this might be even bigger than bitcoin itself. 
Some people keep watching from the sidelines for a few years and it felt recently as if the train is leaving the station, if we are talking NFL football,  we are still in the first quarter of a four quarter game and that even though I missed out on significant gains (2014 - 2016), it might not be too late to get in.

Bitcoin Price Crosses $3,000 Milestone

"Bitcoin Price Crosses $3,000 Milestone" 

in the news Bitcoin Price Crosses $3,000 Milestone? What this all about..... See below. 

------------------------------
SENTIMENT TRADER this week I have noticed 4 interesting things.

1.       In Switzerland for example, the financial market regulator gave Zurich-based Falcon Private Bank the green light on managing assets based on the blockchain technology behind bitcoin and other digital currencies.
2.      Early 2018, you will be able to trade BTC or ETH options on the futures and or options market. WOW! :-D
3.      digital currency has more than tripled for the year, versus gold's nearly 10 percent rise. People cannot ignore the attention.
4.      FLOOD OF MONEY! - overall size of the gold market at about $7.5 trillion dwarfs that of bitcoin. At Tuesday's prices, bitcoin had a market capitalization of roughly $57 billion, around the size of Charles Schwab.

Then you take a look at the chart, we are going up to all time highs, and its like nothing can stand in its way. Since we broke out of a classic ASCENDING TRIANGLE pattern a few weeks ago we have seen more buyers swarming in. 
 This is quite interesting when you look at the bitcoin daily chart. 


bitcoin chart - bitcoin technical analysis



The classic study we did on BITCOIN a while ago, basically in shorthand proved that BITCOIN had almost identical Characteristics similar to gold, but its digital. 

We could describe this as an Alternate currency going into 2018. Its getting popular. Supply of btc starting to slow which means after 12 or so months, as we go into 2019 BITCOIN will be a rarer asset than gold! WOW!
