Thank you Justin, though I may not not you, I do know your point exactly!
Love Justin and his honestly and humility with when hes taken losses and played defensive. Hes relatable.
I think it’s time to consider individual investments in products that aren’t government-responsible. This is especially important in the current economic climate. 🌍 Now is a great time to invest in gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Validity). Thanks Jackson Mapko for the advice! ✊
Everyone keeps talking about jackson but no one ever shares how to connect. Please can you share?
HE’S _ ON TE LEG 💪 RAM
@OnlyMapko👊🏻
That’s the user name he uses. 🤝
I need to contact Jackson immediately… Thanks for the info.👍👍.
Throw volume out completely! Ive tried to follow it for years but concluded it’s a mirage. And you can’t take volume to the bank.
Thank you guys. As always, very helpful and reassuring. May the Power Trend endure 😊
2026 has been a rollercoaster—one day everyone’s predicting a crash, the next they’re calling for a rally. It raises the question: can anyone actually predict the stock market?
I don’t believe anyone can accurately predict the market. These days, though, it feels a bit easier with the help of independent wealth managers.
I’m not exactly sure how they do it, but I can say mine has grown my portfolio by about 36%, taking it from the low six figures to seven figures over time.
I could really use some proper guidance on asset allocation. Who’s your advisor?
Carol Ann Albano, quite a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her further on the internet.
Great commentary and analysis!
in Think or Swim, the volume was greater on 8/4 than 8/3 by the way, so you would have your official Follow Through Day (Days 4-10). Maybe the way ToS tracks volume is a little different than Market Surge and perhaps ToS has an algorithm that discounts the penny stocks volume?
IBD charts are really ugly to look at. Soo many different lines, hard to know what ur looking at. On the weekly the price chart shrinks and becomes largely unreadable. Very useful information in terms of earnings but maybe worth looking at a tab structure to view different information and reduce the clutter on screen
