AS I SEE IT: The bull market is still alive and well as it continues to run full speed ahead. This was another very powerful trading day as earnings reports keep driving prices higher.

When I was a kid our football coach had us climb a 20 foot rope that had a bell on the top. We climbed the rope and reached up and rang the bell before sliding back to the ground. This market minds me of that rope. We’re climbing the market rope but we don’t know where the top is. I will continue the climb, but I want to be ready for the slide down when the bell rings.

Our very affordable day-trading product is an E-Book that teaches the Soaring Phoenix Day Trading Strategies for the E-mini S&P. I think it will be a great help to serious day-traders.

It Will be Here Soon, I’m Told!
