Hi Toolbox Fans,
This week I want to take a look at the winners from 2009… this won’t take long. I promise.
Of The DOW30, we have just one winner and it’s a slight gain of just 2.51% YTD for IBM.
The NASDAQ has a few more…

Yes, I see the leveraged ETFs on the list, but you know we have already warned you that these are not “buy and hold” vehicles… short-term trades only.
I included them so you could see what is working so far in 2009 and maybe look into parts of the markets you may not be watching.
Here is what I want you to understand…
There are opportunities in this market.
I know that we are trading at levels not seen since 1996 and that represents a loss of more than 12 years of your financial life.
Here is what nobody is telling you…
IF the market turned around starting Monday, and IF it went up an average of 7-8% a year…
You would NOT get back to the old highs until 2020!
That represents another 11 year loss of your financial life.
Do you think you have time to wait another 11 years just to get back to even?
I didn’t think you would…. Soooo
You simply must learn to trade the stock market.
You can make money as markets fall, many people do!
You could go short, your could buy inverse ETFs. You could buy put options and make a killing as some stocks and indices continue to fall.
When will we see a bottom to the stock market?
We are going to look at that real close on the show this Sunday Night at 8pm Eastern Time.
But what I really want you to do is accept the fact that buy and hold investing is dead.
It has been for quite some time and you will have to learn to trade in and out of stocks if you plan on making any investment plan work for you going forward.
I personally recommend the Swing Trading Club.
I say that because Jeffrey Brewer will show you how to read charts and know when you are getting the right kind of opportunities that you NEED to make investing profitable.
You can watch his series of videos so that you understand his methodologies. They are very informative and will show you the right mind set to actually make money trading.
Jeffrey has a goal to double his account every year. That is what investing is about folks.
If you want to wait, and hope that things will turn around, be my guest. But don’t say I didn’t warn you that it could to take 11 more years to get back to the old highs.
If you don’t mind explaining to your family why the money for your retirement was lost, continue to wait.
I am sure that any number of talking heads on CNBC or Faux News will give you lots of excuses that you’ll be able to use.
If you want to do what you can to avoid that…
Get Busy! Take control of your money. Learn how and when to trade long & short and build the retirement that you always wanted.
Where should you start?
Step 1 , check out the Swing Trading Club.
It’s only $99.00 per month and the education alone is worth ten times the cost… Don’t believe me? Look at the losses you have taken so far.
Step 2 , watch the Market Toolbox LIVE every Sunday Night.
Jeffrey is the co-host and we always get a look deep inside the current market conditions.
We’ll tell you what we see for the week ahead and bring you the important news you need to make better trading and investing decisions.
Step 3, Get out there and start.
Paper trade if you have to until you build your confidence.
Accept that not every trade will be a winner and get realistic about building your wealth.
No one is going to do it for you and no one cares about your retirement more than you do.
It is up to you to make it happen.
We’ll be in the Swing Trading Club every day helping people, answering questions and making sure you know how to make your financial dreams a reality.
The only question that remains here… Will you be one of the members getting that help?
I hope so.
The Swing Trading Club is the place to start.
Psst… That’s why we built it!
Until Next Time…
