The Biggest Investing Story of 2023… And Probably 2024

Software has given us quantum leaps in prosperity and efficiency.  Just take Microsoft Excel, which at 38 years old, is ancient in the software realm. One person running an Excel spreadsheet can do the work of a million accountants from days past. AI raises our capabilities to a new level. For example, AI helped doctors analyze more than 20 million oncology studies in just 10 minutes to save a patient’s life. No wonder everyone is racing to incorporate AI, from tech giants to tiny startups.

Here’s the Biggest Catalyst for 2024 – For Some, It Will Be Costly

According to a recent Gallup poll, each American estimates spending an average of $975 on gifts this year. That’s the most since 1999, and more than 11% higher than last year. Not having enough cash to pay those incoming bills is a problem. Investors, on the other hand, face the exact opposite problem – too much cash. I know it’s strange to think about too much cash being a problem, but it is.

Americans Are On the Move – So Are These 3 Stocks

“Revenge travel” sounds so sinister, so let’s call it “holiday cheer” travel instead. Americans are on the move for the holidays, and so are related stocks – well, some related stocks. AAA expects more than 115 million Americans to travel this season. And interestingly, air travel is expected to break above 2019 levels – which was before the pandemic shut everything down.

If You Can’t Beat Wall Street, Buy Stocks Like They Do

In my time executing Big Money trades on Wall Street, I not only learned how the flow of money moves stock prices. I also learned that Big Money often buys and sells stocks well in advance of big news stories. They seem to trade on information the public doesn’t have. As a result, they’re able to make the huge gains and leave the American people with the table scraps.

Use This Secret Market to Accelerate Your Profits 

Everything comes down to the flow of money. The volume of money – literally billions of dollars flowing into and out of these assets – is what really moves prices. I saw this firsthand in my time on Wall Street – how an influx of big money can drive stock prices into the stratosphere. Discovering this made me want to know everything about the trading process. I started with the very exchanges this money flowed through.

3 Stocks Big Money Is Buying Now

My system sniffed out 509 unusal buy signals yesterday – which is Big Money at work. That easily topped the previous high of 456 buys back on Feb. 2, and it blew away all of the buying days during the rally from March through July. This is critical information that most investors don’t see. Most folks are familiar with exchanges like the NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange, and the American Stock Exchange. But a lot of those signals probably came from private networks that are completely separate from these exchanges.

Follow the Money – Here’s Where Big Money Is Investing

According to Morgan Stanley, institutional investors account for around 90% of the daily trading volume on the Russell 3000 Index, which is the broadest major U.S. stock index. The problem is… a lot of this money flow is undetectable. Imagine being unaware of that much money flowing in or out of stocks, and basing your investment decisions on the visible 10% of trading volume? That puts most investors – especially individuals – at a big disadvantage.

Tracking Dark Pools – Even as They Try to Stay Secret

It may sound impossible to hide a multi-billion-dollar trade, but it isn’t. You see, Wall Street places many of their trades on private networks known as Dark Pools. When they do this, they’re completely out of the public eye… and hidden from view for 99% of folks out there. But, if you can spot them – as I can – you can anticipate stock price movements with stunning accuracy.

How Dark Pools Expose Wall Street’s Hidden Trades

Most of that massive exchange of money is hidden from the American people, but it wasn’t hidden to Wall Street insiders like me who had access to these dark money movements and Dark Pools. It was like I had a skybox watching it all happen, and I began piecing all these different money flows across different asset classes in places like the Dark Pools to see how they affected stock prices. So, when I left Wall Street, I created a system of my own by reverse engineering what I had pieced together during my time at Cantor Fitzgerald.

The Top Stock in the Top ETFs

The 15 stocks currently in our TradeSmith Investment Report portfolio surged 13.6% on average, including four that galloped ahead more than 20%. Coming out of the painful October selling may have dulled our sense of just how phenomenal last month was. And the same data that can help us appreciate November’s magnitude also tells us that more big gains are headed our way.
