The STOCK INDEXES http://quotes.ino.com/exchanges/?c=indexes

The March NASDAQ 100 closed lower on Friday due to profit taking as it consolidated some of Thursday's rally. The mid-
range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 1209.36 are needed to confirm that a double top has been posted while opening the door for a larger-degree decline during the last half of February. If March renews last week's rally, January's high crossing at 1287.00 is the next upside target. First resistance is Tuesday's high crossing at 1286.00. Second resistance is January's high crossing at 1287.00. First support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 1209.36. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 1185.00.

The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If March extends this week's decline, January's low crossing at 797.00 is the next downside target. Closes above the reaction high crossing at 875.50 are needed to confirm an upside breakout of this winter's trading range. First resistance is the 10-day moving average crossing at 837.92. Second resistance is Monday's high crossing at 872.80. First support is today's low crossing at 806.00. Second support is January's low crossing at 797.00.
The Dow closed lower on Friday and the mid-range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If the Dow extends this week's decline, November's low crossing at 7449 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at 8086 would temper the bearish outlook.

3 'underground' trading discoveries announced...

http://broadcast.ino.com/redirect/?linkid=921

====================================================================

This is what I know so far...

The trading community is on the verge of an unprecedented
'explosion' of profit potential trading a group of funds
that have largely remained ignored by 'mainstream'
individuals...

-but for over a decade, select 'underground' traders have
been quietly siphoning this potential directly from these
'under the radar' markets... essentially padding their
portfolios, year after year.

So if you have ANY interest in discovering how to get in on
what's being called a 'portfolio supercharger' while it's
still somewhat 'quiet', you're in for a TREAT.

http://broadcast.ino.com/redirect/?linkid=921

SORRY - IT'S NOT FOR SALE
-------------------------

Even though he could probably sell thousands of copies of
this report on the web, the author made a decision to give
it away (for now, at least).

Why?

Frankly, he understands that there are a lot of hucksters
out there who peddle worthless information, so he decided to
make himself stand out from the crowd by giving away as much
high- quality, actionable trading EDUCATION and CONTENT as
possible.

That way, if you want to work with him more closely in the
future, you already know what he's made of (and without
coughing up a single penny to find out).
