This week the market certainly appeared to be heading back into bullish territory.  As stated in last week’s posting, the momentum continued from the past two weeks.  We saw a leveling off of the indicators, which looked like investors were gaining confidence but still uncertain about equities.  This week began to look like not only are they gaining confidence, but they also know where to put it (back into equities).

The VIX dropped 3 points, to end up at 20.50.  Gold and oil dropped this week, with gold dropping as much as 6%.  When taking this along side the gains in the DOW and NASDAQ (3.5% and 4.5%), confidence in the market has returned.  The coming weeks will show rather this is just a short term bear bounce, or if we are indeed on the way back up to new heights.  AEStocks finished the week down, with half of our recommendations being right.

This week the market looks like a repeat of the one before.  Oil actually finished with a slight gain, but gold and the VIX finished down.  The DOW and NASDAQ finished the week where they started it.  Investor sentiment continues to be uncertain.  Confidence is ever so slowly moving back into equities, but not yet manifesting in a positive level for the market.

www.aestocks.com finished the week with a 6.5% gain.  There are 13 picks for next week.

Next week expect the bulls to slowly start moving in and we expect the week to finish higher.  One thing that is very plausible is that AEStocks.com will have another double digit week.

Buying and holding, in this market especially, is a risk that should be avoided.  www.aestocks.com has posted consistent and steady returns for the past four years.  Many investors unfortunately think of an active system as risky, and therefore avoid it for something they see as more conservative.  A solid active system like AEStocks.com actually limits exposure to the overall market fluxuations, which proves to be a huge advantage.  If you are running across a minefield; would you rather run the length of a football field, or dash 10 yards and then move to the sidelines?  Short focused efforts, with the properly safeties built in (via limit orders, trailing stops, etc), can greatly reduce your risk when dealing with stocks.  Look closely at your trading strategy to see if your natural sense of risk aversion is actually sending you through a much longer minefield.

The actions in the market this week seems to indicate that investors are uncertain as to which way to move.  Oil and Gold both finished the week lower (-5% and -3 respectfully).  The VIX moved down a point to finish under 23.  The DOW and NASDAQ finished flat at -1.5% and 0.8% for the week.  These indicators seem to point to slightly increased confidence, but are offset by the flat return in the equities markets.

AEStocks.com finished the week up 37% - Yes, another stellar week in spite of what the overall market is doing.  We have 11 stock picks for next week.

The stock market used to be a place of limited access to investors.  Accessibility to research was even more limited and restricted then access to the market.  It is most unfortunate that this has lent to the way most people see the market today.  The limited nature of this thinking has been so ingrained over the years, that many are not even looking into the field today at all.  This mentality must be shaken off, in order to experience real and solid gains that are available to everyone through the equities markets.  Online brokers make buying and selling stocks easier then setting an alarm clock.  Access to research information in order to find which stocks to buy and sell is available all over the internet.  www.aestocks.com is one of the top sites offering amazing short term stock recommendations.  The ease and accessibility of market and stock information should completely alleviate any apprehension regarding managing your own stock portfolio.  Be involved in your portfolio, and reap the rewards.
